Kinda catching up now…I do see some models trying to pop a secondary near the Cape.

Yeah, pop that secondary a bit sooner and we can pull in more moisture. Not a ton but enough to bump up totals.

This isn't a terrible looking sounding on the Cape. Def unstable in the lowest 3km

But can anyone say Martha's vineyard jackpot?

An inch of fluff in Jan. 

Be still my heart.

Leaf blower downy flakes.

Coating to an inch seems likely here.  Maybe 2" if we can get a little more H2O in there.  I won't hate it

yup nice refresher for us

I really don’t like events like this.  At least the most recent event prompted homeowners to clear and salt while these dinkleshit 1-2 inchers don’t get removed, everything stays icy until it rains or warms up otherwise, and makes for unpleasant walking conditions.  Give me big storms followed by warmups and rain and I’m a lot happier these days.

12z euro has a weak, brief inverted trough setup across C NH/SW ME as that H5 vortmax passes through.

Can tell what type of yr its been so far when you really need the Reggie and the HRRR to be right.

Yup still here. I’m watching but have had the rug pulled on me too many times to get excited. Need another day of model runs. Could be the critter that bites.
