That trend is more worrisome if we had a garbage airmass.

The MA forum posted comparisons.

EC AI 6z actually a touch south of 0z and increased snow on the southern edge.

6z EURO held.

At least for now the rapid northern trend has stopped.

That looks nicer.  Keep ticking north.

Looks like 12"+ for most of the region when you combine all modeling.

Only “concern” at this point is Arctic sand cutting ratios. We may be snowing around 0F here. That said, the qpf numbers are compelling. Region wide crushah, just like the ones I used to know.

It is feasible the immediate shore does experience some mixing. This is where its much better to look at forecast soundings then fixed levels (such as 850 or 700). You can get very sneaky, subtle warm layers. There are also other processes to consider as well, for example, if there is a tremendous amount of latent heat release ongoing that can negatively impact snow growth production and result in poor enough snowgrowth that precip is almost sleet like. I believe something like that happened in 2013?

That seems aggressive. 

With consistent QPF over 1 inch and some case? And ratio is projected to be quite high due to a frigid air mass and very deep DGZ.  Most models have had this for Southern New England at least for two days now, right?

This type of system is not gonna produce 2’ in a broad area. You want to see the coastal take over and slow to even entertain it.

The mix never made it to the CT shore in 2013.

That was a different beast. You’re not gonna get a massive convective band with latent heat release in this storm.

What’s with the obsession with the mixing talk? In order to get mixing up into this airmass, you’re gonna charge Mother Nature a fee of about 10-15” of snow. It’s just gonna take so much forcing.

Yeah, I wanna be able to smell the sleet....just make sure it is after I have done most of the snow removal and of course it has already dumped 10-15 inches
