HIPPYVALLEY

Major ice storm set ups are tenuous at best. 1998 had a low stalled out over the lakes and high pressure in just the right place in Quebec. That’s what allowed a good fetch of gulf moisture to ride into the Arctic air for days.,

Mom’s 90th birthday party got moved from Sunday to Saturday so that’s gonna make it a little tougher for me. I’ll see if I can get there around 5-6pm.

Lets do it!

Brisk night. 20F with a fresh breeze and some good gusts. I'll probably go test/measure the ice on a local lake on Sunday. Should be several inches of black ice by then.

Still looks like a few inches of fluff is possible for the S Coasts and the Cape. Parts of CT/RI too.

Hopefully the south coast can score, but this feels like it’s going to end up flurries here.

I hope southern peeps can at least get inch or two. This seems like a coating for the Rt 2 folks.

Without salt it just creates a thin layer of ice. I am convinced most DPW’s have no idea what they’re doing with. frozen precipitation.

Light snow in Greenfield now. Not expecting anything out of it though.

Yeah, a three legged turtle race.

Nickels and dimes?

Bennington is kind of a snow hole, they get shadowed in all directions.

Some sunshine coming through the clouds now. Zero precipitation yet.

I've watched Worcester to Boston cash in many times while I get flurries. I don't get real angry but I also don't get real sympathetic either.

I think we'll be fine. Models are all over the place so I'm not calling anything. So far it's been an OK December RT 2 North.
