18z GFS looks similar to 12z. Drier, but probably just noise.

I am right on the line but I assume this will be a SE/E flow event? It'll be rain right up to Gorham.

Or rain right through.  18z NAM was a wet day Saturday.  Changes over late here but not ideal.

4pm Sat

How much you have ?

For the year? Low 50s, slightly above average. Considering how things looked with the late Jan blizzard, really a disappointing end to the winter if it’s really over. It really looked like we had a shot at an epic second half with a polar vortex split, but all that piece of shit over the North Pole did was deepen. It wasn’t a bad winter at all here, but left a lot on the table. Unlike last winter I don’t consider it a garbage winter since we actually got a monster blizzard, first one since 2018. Hopefully next winter the polar vortex shatters into a billion pieces.

I just looked more into the wind/flow and all the snow profile is NW flow behind the FROPA.  It’s not like an east flow coastal.

10AM Sat on 18z GFS.  You can see the ESE flow is under the warm air at 850mb, not snow profile.  Then where wind streamlines go NW behind the front is where it starts snowing.

You can see the frontal position in the streamlines.  Looks like everyone will need wind to go NW in this to flip to snow.  Anyone seeing E/SE flow will be in the warm sector and N/NW will be cold sector.  Both here and there, it’ll start snowing when the wind goes NW as the front will be through.

Makes sense. Glad I do well on NW flow too. Not a shadowing direction.

I don't think it can top monday night though.

I meant to reply to you about the wind here.  Probably some of the strongest winds I have ever experienced/heard here.  Just intense for 5 minutes or so.  Yesterday I looked in our backyard.  Lawn furniture scattered around like I have not had happen in my 24 years here.
