Intitially?  Not for the same sort of physical causes ... which you intimated.

Isentropic snow events tend to be more uniform in character.  They are caused by general flow up an elevated frontal slope...  Cold in the low levels, with an arriving warmer, potentially psuedo-adiabatic unstable air mass then forced up over the front;  eventually through it's unstable altitude/pressure level it starts rising and precipitating... etc.   That tends to be more linearly distribute action, such that you get a general rad display...

Those meso bands you are thinking of, like that 2020 Dec hyper version, are elevated convergence axis formed from differential mid tropospheric jets moving past and air moving preferentially toward the region of best synoptic forcing to rise over where that is happening.   Lots of pricey physical math later, then crossing that up with the aspects above, you can get huge results.  In this sense... yeah ... if the latter low does get more mechanically coherent, then some meso banding could set up associated with that.  There will be differential jet advection going on associated with that so it could.  Just about all defined low pressures have meso structures...  You can see them here on this 12z GFS regarding the later big dawg blizzard it has for the 31st

I know this is a little OT, but oh my GOD, I just had an epic squall roll through here. Pure whiteout conditions. I ran outside barely clothed.

Let’s bring hours of this for all Sunday-Monday

Absolute weenie dream in some of the numbers being spit out.

BTV did put a squall warning out.

Like 5 posts the last two hours. Storm fatigue setting in lol

I mean, until the next model runs, there’s only so much you can say about it.

I’m personally still going with a slightly more conservative regionwide 8”-14” until Friday evening model output.   I always worry about the snow growth factor, especially anywhere between Springfield and Brattleboro in the CRV.

Thought had crossed my mind, yeah ... heh

I think though that this is daily model black out time.   I mean everything off the 12z's been pretty well squared away for over 3 hours at this point, comments all made.  

For me, I'm actually still at work for another half hour and needed the time to like do stuff.  haha
