4" increments.

I agree... I think this event was tougher for a narrow range with the two-part event.  Now that part 1 is mostly done, time to narrow it up.

We are seeing a mix of -SN/-IP/-ZR that seems to be changing from minute to minute.... but the -SN is clearly losing the battle as it's intervals are getting further and fewer between the IP/ZR misty stuff.

I went with this here on the sled site i forecast on, I didn't want to mess with two maps so i just did a combined, That was before these continuous tics NW.

26.2F  Light snow grains.

I have not cleared the cars or snowblowed the 3.75" off the driveway.  If tomorrow is a 34F rainer with a quick change to snow at the end I would clean everything now.  If it's a 31F ZR event then snow on top as the low pulls away with a  deep freeze to flow at night then its best to wait till early Sat AM.   I'm so tempted to clean this powder snow now but I'll be sorry if I have an icy coating on everything if tomorrow is cold enough to stay below 32F.

Thoughts?? Don't usually ask backyard questions on the board but my stress level is pretty high with other stuff going on

The trend will reverse slightly and jay and Stowe will be back in the 15+ range. Models do this a lot with wound up systems right as they develop. I bet the next couple of runs tic it back down another 50-75 miles. Track adjust slightly south

The math checks out. It's good to remind everyone that ASOS measures an elevated flat surface, so not your typical power line or tree branch radial measurement. That conversion would be more like 0.15" ice.

I'm going to clear tonight and throw down a bunch of rock salt. If I don't snowblow and it ZR/IP all day tomorrow, it'll freeze hard like cement and I won't be able to clear it.
