Anyone else with nervous energy based on:

- positive trends as we get closer

Is 3k similar for Monday?

Yes. Maybe not quite as wild as 12k but same general idea. 

[vortex95]

Almost identical to its 12z.

 

[Baroclinic Zone]

18z icon came in cooler than 12z run.

[CoastalWx]

That dumb RRFS came south too although it almost had too.

No it’s all good out fishing and it’s pretty nice out actually with the wood stove ripping in the shack lol

Looks like Pittston, with view across the Kennebec to Mt. Tom (great sledding hill) on the Gardiner estate.  The castle would be just to the left of the pic.

The south trends help Monday be snowier again . MMSA

QPF ramping up is a good sign for sure

Everybody in SNE gonna do great….let’s savor every minute of it. It’s gonna rock tomorrow boys. 

[weathafella]

I'm savoring this one-a throwback to my youth.  The deep winter cold laying down the foundation with perfect timing.  The classic cirrus gathering in the SW sky, the excitement of a big snow on the way.   I grew up in the 1950s and early 60s.  The 1950s were not so kind to snow lovers until the latter half of the decade.  But my early years taught me to appreciate every aspect of the storm including the prodromal high paint brush cirrus.  When i was 9 years old, I read a book entitled "All About the Weather" by ivan Ray Tannehill.  He described a gathering storm similar to what we're hopefully about to experience.  I'm quoting but entirely from memory:

"It may be a clear cold day in winter whn you notice wispy high clouds in the sky to the west."

I remember the line-"the wind whistles in the pines and roars in the eaves".  Some of you older posters wil probably remember the same experience as me reading and validating what I was feeling......excitement...it was going to snow!

Well stated Wfella.  The 12 hour period before a storm is my absolute favorite.  And prodromal...I learned a new word!

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Awesome how we continue amping this up through Sunday night but end up cooler afterwards, Monday morning+. The Airmass is not budging.

Monday @12z has me at 21", and 27" at 06z Tuesday, so 6" inches.

[DomNH]

Can't recall too many events where guidance kept increasing QPF right up to go time. 1.5'' of liquid through this airmass with big UVVs is going to be a lot of snow.

I remember that one well…but wasn’t on any weather board then, so I don’t know the lead up to that one as far as qpf was concerned.
