On the Rocks? March 5-6 mess

[jbenedet]

This looks like a signiicant icing event south of pike with potential all the way down to 95.

 

Needless to say, glad I’m largely missing this one to the north…

Isothermal sounding on this NAM over Logan. 
NE wind 30mph pushing S/S+ rates is nasty cake at 32

Let’s get a March 24, 1993 mini blue bomb at Logan (over 8” of pure spackle on a weak but juicy system running into a Quebec high with marginal antecedent airmass)

I mean this is a very classic ice storm look for SNE, south of pike.

I remember talking to Scott 4 or 5 days ago, this thing had a minimum/floor of moderate impact back then and it was kind of believable just synoptically because the feature’s playing into it were stable/predictable.

Yeah we're hoping for all ice with plenty of accretion 

[weathafella]

Gotta replace my shovel dammit.  Just hoping ice stays away or doesn’t otherwise impact life.  NAM was a crazy run!

12"? 

No.

Maybe like 4-8"....

[40/70 Benchmark]

I could def. see 4-8"...agree my map is conservative, but I just don't trust the higher QPF output yet....maybe tomorrow night I patch 4-8" over the 3-6".

I haven't looked at this closely at all but from what ive seen it doesn't seem conservative at all to me, if anything its bullish on the snow. 

I dont see this producing any accumulating snow south of 90

Not saying this NWS map is right or what id go with, just compared to what little ive looked at this and whats out there its on the higher end snowfall wise.

you want snow all of a sudden? 

[Diggiebot]

Ice ice baby. Maybe a morning surprise for some people? 

[ineedsnow]

@Damage In Tolland is going to like the NAM and RAP.. Hopefully we can get the 6z NAM to bump north with that qpf.. major event incoming for someone

well yeah, it's a hot commodity. the only want is others want, so it's more of interest.  you know how it is, when the snow is exclusive and it just hits diff

Can you post it? BOX doesn’t seem too enthusiastic in a serious icing.

Obviously won't get this but even half would be wild for some

Really hoping the heaviest precip trends north a bit

RGEM/GEM remain the warmest but are slowly caving colder a bit.
