 Compromise here is freezing rain all the way to southern Vermont New Hampshire and just an ice storm for everybody with a cold boundary layer .... the GFS being right above and wrong below and then the euro or whatever being sort of the opposite

Even much colder models like the NAM put ORH at like 22/5 before the precip moves in, and then just a few hours later by 06z they are 25F and then are 30F by 09z....really hard to believe. Where did the single digit dewpoints go? They didn't go into wetbulbing apparently....lol.

I mean unless there's a reason for this thing to track over I-84 it seems hard to buy that track. Maybe there is and I'm missing something.

Take this sucker over Long Island and set up the coastal front offshore you're going to be dealing with a nice stream of Arctic air.... remember those time-height cross sections Dendrite posted??

If it's correct it will probably make for a solid Will melt job.

That would be a first to ever see a sfc low go into an arctic high like that over interior SNE despite strong confluence to the north.

 

The annoying part about it is that it sort-of kind-of has the right idea at 30 hours....you can see it's trying to drag the isobars out to the east along the sfc front....but then it just totally loses that sig in the next frame.

I don't think I'd make any changes until seeing the euro. I mean, we're talking the GFS here people.

also be watching the mesos for any dramatic moves further NW but yah Euro holding serve would be nice.   No matter what happens, at least it's a lock that my yard will have exponentially more snow otg Sunday than it does tonight.

LOL Cranky pretty much just took all snow out of coastal SNE.  He thinks it’s the convection pumping the ridge that’s causing problems but I’m not buying that theory 

He's the worst. How about the first 0.3" or 0.4" of liquid when 850s start out at like -8C lol

If some places do get a half inch or more there's going to be more problems  than usual.. the wind should kick up pretty good as the storm departs

Yeah that's interesting. So often with ZR we start oozing above 32F and melting stuff before the wind kicks up.

Probably concerned the trends continue right up until real time.  I’ve certainly seen it happen before.  I think it was a bit extreme of a decision this early though

The front end thump really hasn't changed that much on these warmer runs aloft...the impact on them seems to be more after 06z there and 09z up here....how far north in penetrates. But it still keeps going in the 6-8" range here...occasionally a 10 spot from some guidance and seems to be consistently 4-6 down in N CT. The warmer runs seem to erode it more in S CT and then cut it back in N MA to S NH a bit.
