I tend to avoid using the Kuchie maps, especially in mixed bag events.  

I agree, but we ended up with 2 inches before the changeover in Westfield yesterday. Maybe I didn't pay attention, but i don't recall models showing that either

Snow at Logan, rain for Jerry?

I understand with a frigid antecedent airmass and cold surface temperatures there is a risk for ice. What I don’t understand with some of the colder depictions of this upcoming event that I’ve seen this morning on local TV is how would that occur? The surface and air are torched with cold trying to drain in? Seems like too much warmth to overcome. Can anyone enlighten me on why they are honking for another ice event down here?

Not sure why so many are honking there. It’s different now vs even a month ago. There is a push or colder air but it’s not like this is an arctic front coming through. Seems like any ice chances are best near Kevin on north. It’s possible it could extend south but with the warmth today seems like more your typical glaze on trees vs road?

quite the cold drain on some of the mesos .. probably overdone but entertaining solutions 

[Damage In Tolland]

Yeah this won’t be a road issue south of 90. With 40’s today , near 40 tomorrow and near 30 tonight roads won’t be cold . Will be a tree issue and cold surface event. Hopefully more scenes like this in my street this morning . 

[CoastalWx]

Congrats Ray on gfs. Even tries to dump near BOS

[ORH_wxman]

Goofus is frigid....basically a warning snow event for BOS after some sleet. Gets ZR into most of CT

[wx2fish]

Gfs is definitely interesting into SNH into NE MA

Always like to follow the Salem Salt Shed:

I hope the GFS is wrong. Not because I don't want the Mass weenies to get snow but I really could do without ZR. Almost couldn't bring out the garbage bins last night without falling on my ass.
