I just hit the "Switch to Beta" on Pivotal... wow.  Much better.  Any downsides to it?

They stole a lot of UI from TT. It's much better, I still prefer TT, but PWx has the Euro so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah you may see most of those locals only get to like 33F or so. I always think a true flash freeze is overrated around here, but tomorrow is interesting. It will get down into the 20's tonight so these paved surfaces will get cold. I guess we'll see what kind of treatments are applied, but with precipitation falling much of the day and then dropping below freezing through the evening and back into the 20's...things could slick up quick if not treated. 

There was a storm about 8 years ago (ish, I can remember where I was living) where I said "make sure to clear off your cars because whatever slop is on them after the storm is going to freeze real solid." And it did.

I know what you mean ...  I don't mean to sound condescending/boomer-ish but, I think that relative to your age they've been less occurring.

I remember several in the 1980s and 1990s.   They're just not as common anymore - gee wonder why ...  They're also no a big deal. If treatment is applied to the walkways and roads they're reduced to a non-story.  Problems is, the latter seldom was in time.

Winter Storm Warnings hoisted,

1236 PM EST Mon Dec 1 2025

...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM TUESDAY TO 4 AM EST
WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 6 and
  9 inches.

* WHERE...Portions of south central, southwest, and western Maine
  and central, northern, and southern New Hampshire.

* WHEN...From 8 AM Tuesday to 4 AM EST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...A snowstorm will bring plowable snow to the region with
  a period of moderate travel impacts expected. Periods of moderate
  snow and low visibility will be the biggest hazards. The potential
  exists for snowbands that will bring periods of locally heavy
  snowfall, which will lead to rapid snow accumulations and
  extremely dangerous travel conditions. Periods of moderate and
  heavy snow will combine with low visibility to create dangerous
  driving conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the
  Tuesday morning and evening commutes.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in
your vehicle in case of an emergency. The latest road conditions can
be obtained by going to newengland511.org

Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely
necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden
changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the
motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your
destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially
cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is
winterized and in good working order.

That sounds like i might get something decent.

Don't forget changing the clocks. It was 1:00-1:15 but now 12:15 with the time change. 

Lol..it was 2:15 when DST was in play, and it was 1:15 while we were in EST.  So I guess it’s 12:15 now as Seymour said…so they brought it out earlier now.

So it looks like my area is on the outside looking in on this one. How are things looking for Wachusett? I might go on Thursday morning if the conditions are good.

Wachusett should be all snow, but it's still going to be a wet snow.

That’s a good think..cuz then it’s gonna freeze nice and create a very good base.

They will have very limited terrain open... plus their summit lift won't be open until mid/late month

What's with the discrepancy here? These maps were released 15 minutes apart.

Ah that’s too bad. Hopefully they get a good amount of snow on Tuesday and start building the snowpack.

That seems a little aggressive but might be splitting hairs on 2-5” vs 4-6” in our area.

Interesting that I'm under a WSW and the NWS map has 7", when the Meso models are basically rain.
