On the Rocks? March 5-6 mess

[CoastalWx]

Yeah that’s a sharp gradient. Not sure I buy a lot of snow here but it’s close.

Toss those clown ice maps far and wide

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

Yeah, my "lifetime" back saver lasted two storms.  Unfortunately for them, I save EVERY receipt

Please,  take it. I'm done with ice. Took o e step outta my van yesterday and fell on my ass... and I never fall. Well, shoulder actually and it still hurts this A.M. Been repaired before also...

[CoastalWx]

This thing has convection which may not allow a lot of north pull.

Any chance BOX upgrades to warnings for some?

Epic EPS for you guys.  Lots of sleet on Mesos though 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Yeah.  It’s gonna be a mess regardless

I would like to see 12z come in with qpf of one inch or greater though for major problems

[ineedsnow]

Pretty sure that's why box is going with advisories for now and haven't upgraded.  Plus not sure on reaching warning amounts for one specific type.. either way a disaster commute incoming

There will be ice but probably half of what those maps show. Need temps a bit lower and lower dews to move in.. it might help having  a NE wind also 

[jbenedet]

A lot of that “rain” on guidance SoP, I think in actuality will be freezing rain.
 

To me, it’s a classic case of take the under on surface temps and the over on 950 mb -850 mb warm layer.

 
I certainly wouldn’t be taking the guidance verbatim at the surface with how cold this year has been north of the boundary…

Classic cold tuck. This season? 
 

Gonna be freezing down to NYC metro

[jbenedet]

Guidance looks way too warm at the surface today. No idea how temps rise much from here with north winds already being felt down to Hartford and clouds thickening up…

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. 

I got the impression it was conservative based on this place....I hadn't seen other maps when I did mine. I agree not much snow SOP...the "up to an inch" is just to cover my ass because IP counts.

Good map.Sleet may cut your totals for a while but 6 is a good number.

Yea, well the range accounts for that...more IP would be 3", less results in closer to 6". Just glad the icing will be SW of me.

The pros  of icing for Kevin are a stout northeast wind and not stagnant air. The cons are that I don’t really think it’ll be much colder than like 31.5 maybe. So I don’t know how much icing you could get maybe it’s right around 32.

We hope the pros win

Yea, if his hill were closer to the source, like up in my area, he'd get his wish and be eating PB & J in dark for a few days.
