Extreme Cold, Snow & Sleet: SECS 1/24 - 1/26

RGEM is literally 10 miles if that from giving north shore 14-16 inches North shore might do well 

I'll probably get 2" more than the south shore because snow will hang on a little longer here but we see the colder models gradually adjusting warmer and the NAM/GFS getting slightly colder but no big cave. Pretty clear that we'll be sleeting by 21z. White Plains/coastal CT probably get a little sleet but not enough to really harm accumulations. So that could get them another 3-5" total over me. I do think 6" is a lock for everyone in this subforum save coastal NJ where we'll have to see when it changes to rain. 

Again, since sleet and snow are the same water content as all snow, it will just make it harder to move/shovel here and maybe we get some freezing drizzle to fuse it all together.

Intense upward air motion. Almost always signals heavy snow when you hear thunder when it’s snowing

Other than sounding cool, being during a snow storm, is there any other importance to it?

Also one thing to look at, I don’t know how to lol but been seeing a lot of people on social media saying be careful of precip maps because a lot of them showing sleet the sounding would support snow

In Tennessee any snow that fell is now frozen solid per my sister.  Temp of 24 there,  from 19 in morning, shoot up like a rocket to 54 then down to the 20s. Wild temp swings down there.. rough living down there with such erratic temperatures.

I just looked at the 0z RGEM on Pivotal and not much change to me. Sleet is here by 21z and seemed to advance a little faster. Also it has something like 1.6" liquid now-whatever falls will be heavy with a lot of water content. This will be lasting a long time on the ground.

You’ll probably grab an extra inch or two from this storm than me. My southeast move will hurt a bit. I’ve seen the sleet line get pinned just south of the LIE before, which gives me a whole mile of safety…I’ve also seen it stay a mile north for a long time. Will be fun

Not super likely but could happen if they get better banding.

The resolution on the GFS sucks so it shows these weird blotches on the snowmaps. But I think from here down to DC are basically in the same boat. NYC probably does a couple to few inches better than DC because of closeness to the high.

GFS increased totals even though had more sleet due to heavier snow initially.

Lol gives Boston almost double the RDPS, and NYC almost half. Things are still all over the place

What could make this a really great storm in Boston vs very good but not one of the greats is whatever happens on Monday with the coastal low. They'll also get assist from the coastal front. Pretty confident Boston gets at least 15" and good shot at 18. If the Monday snow happens they have a shot at over 20.
