When the storm takes a bit of a wide turn, we often see the dry air try and advect down the valleys more efficiently with a drier ageo vector. It obivously gets overcome if you get into the CCB enough, but the areas kind of on the outer periphery should watch it. I think it affected Jan 2015 in some western areas making it even worse arctic sand than usual. 

This slotted my region during the Boxing Day storm in 2010.  We ended with just low end advisory.  We had 4" of arctic sand that was falsely reported a 6+" but a debate for another time.  The wind was impressive enough that the plows in town were throwing sparks because the roads were scarped clear.   What was interesting about that result is that there was modeled a mysterious notch in the QPF charts that was in fact stabbing down from interior Maine down into these tuck towns E or the Wor Hill/91 S...  Dismissed it as noise.   wrong.  To your point, we never closed the T DP gap during that event - I know, because I looked.  The closest was about 5 F...  16/11 with light arctic grits whirled around by turbine gusts.

Same thing up here.  11” but terrible snow growth

Feels like we’re maxing west trends currently. I’d fully expect a jog east.

i think the Jan 22 references are legit. This obviously isn’t as potent of a system. However, that slowly faded SE over the last couple days.

It was obviously an all time event here because we got in the deformation band, but that was originally modeled way west.

This is potentially most assuredly as potent!

Yup…windblown sugar. We can pound with deep ESE flow, but those are few and far between with snow the dominant ptype. Usually there’s a positive V component feeding in colder/drier/downsloping air here otherwise.

All those weak outliers to the east are not happening, so the mean is actually even closer to the Cape.

Those are probably just mesolows with convection in addition to the main low to the west.
