Feels like the bust potential is there for like a heavy cake tonight. Latest from GYX: WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches expected above 1000 feet with up to 12 inches possible above 2000 feet. 1 to 3 inches expected on the valley floors. * WHERE...Northern Coos and Southern Coos Counties. South of there is similar except only 8" above 2k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildcat has a very high elevation base area; my thinking is that they will do well with the storm and not as well with the upslope - so if the goal is to go out tomorrow, it’s probably a good choice!

J.Spin Posted January 15 The BTV NWS map updates for the afternoon are in, and I’ve added them below. Winter Storm Warnings are now appearing in a number of areas, and there was a definite bump upward in the projected accumulations map; accumulation tiers have been pushed outward a bit from the spine, and there’s a touch of that 18-24” shading appearing in the Rutland area. Our forecast has seen just a slight uptick here, with something in the 4-10” range expected through Sunday at 7:00 P.M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wxeyeNH Posted January 15 Really tough forecast for my location and my higher elevation compared to the surrounding area. Could be an inch or two of glop or 6 or 8" of heavy wet snow. Earlier this season there was that big blown forecast my my hood when it looked like we would get a birch bender and ended up with 2" of snow then a flip. Models sure throwing out a lot of liquid. Will be interesting to see how it plays out for me. For those north of me perhaps the upslope will be bigger than the synoptic part of the storm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like I think that's overdone for Stowe down at 750ft.... but upslope could get there. Your house at 1,100-1,200ft should do nicely as I feel like those highlands around there get good SE upslope flow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jculligan Posted January 16 RGEM painting my area in the jackpot. The upslope/downslope effects during this storm could be quite extreme. Super tough call here at 1500' but I know I'll be cranking out some pretty ridiculous precip rates from about 9am-3pm and a good amount of that should be snow. This is a classic setup for my area to be near the QPF maximum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with PF..over 1200 ft with some SE flow upslope assist think you could do better. Going strictly by that map, I cant see Manchester getting more than your area unless the backside west flow upslope delivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J.Spin Posted January 16 This storm has started up here, so the overnight BTV NWS map updates will be the last ones ahead of the storm. For the advisories map, the notable change around here was the pushing of Winter Storm Warnings northward into eastern Addison County. For the Event Total Snowfall map, a quick toggling between this version and the previous one shows some increases in projected accumulations along the higher elevations of the spine, with some decreases in the Champlain Valley, Upstate New York, and some lower elevations to the east and west. An area of 18-24” shading has appeared in the Mt. Mansfield stretch of the spine, and the point forecast there is topping out around 26” on top of whatever they picked up overnight. The point forecast at our site has seen a small bump to the 6-12” range, which I would typically expect to be form the back side/upslope portion, but it generally seems to be due to the fact that the forecast for today was increased to the 3-7” range.

klw Posted January 16 I've been bumped up to a Warning. It is snowing lightly and we have about half an inch so far. Enough to cover the dog poo in the yard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m assuming that’s for Orange County? They must have just done that, because I definitely would have noted it if they’d managed to get it on the overnight advisories map. The only addition I saw at that point was the one for Addison County. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite the impressive satellite imagery this morning with water vapor showing moisture exploding northward ahead of surface low pressure developing west of the benchmark and south of Long Island Sound. Latest RAP analysis shows pressure falls taking the low directly north up the CT River Valley, placing the forecast area in the sweet spot for QPF with the latest HREF and NAM3 showing upwards of 1.5" of liquid across the higher peaks through 00Z Sunday.
