I missed that too, thanks.

I honestly am more interested in that arctic front on Thursday.

There’s something aesthetically pleasing about snow squalls and wind ahead of an arctic airmass.  The SW flow out of the Great Lakes region pools moisture ahead of these FROPAs, then the front drags it over the terrain before drying out again.

Looks like a decent early season arctic boundary.

 

That FROPA means business.

Looks like BTV will be ticking up totals for Thursday along the spine if that modeling holds

Oh yeah, I’ve been tracking this quietly. It’s going to get frigid for a bit. Will be interesting to see how we do here.

I find the mesoscale stuff in the northern mountains to be the most interesting type of weather.  

The atmosphere is fluid and Thursday is like watching a shallow ocean wave move over rocks, from NW to SE across the region… the areas with the most churn as the ripple moves through should see the best results in the northeast (the northern terrain).
