Don't sell us short, some of us also do whiffs pretty well. Rain, to cold, to whiff is a pretty classic screwing sequence.

Temp finally headed back down now.

Glad to see it caught on to the northern solutions finally at least. Goofus got a clue.

GFS is also almost 2" liquid.

GFS ass-kissers are kinda quiet this morning.

Great ski week if anyone gets some time to come up here. Sunny, mid-20s, deep powder, and perfect groomers. Doesn't get much better.

I haven't seen any updates from the 30" blizzard zone. How is the pack holding up so far there? Curious if some can survive this event.

Riding the line, waiting for the sound of pingers to either start or stop. Been there so many times in MD. I have said it a couple times here, but I never buy into "cold chasing rain" turnover storms. The cold is always late and the warm push always early and stronger. These usually seem to end up being a bit of stray mixed crap to whiten the ground as the storm pulls away. That will be a fate of a lot of SNE, IMO.

Glad I cleared all decks and walkways before this one. With the warmth, the existing pack has settled into a cement sheet about 15-17" thick and once it freezes will be very hard to clear. Wouldn't want to try to remove that and the new snow at the same time.

Yep. 37 here, Alex is 46 (!!). Cold is slow to arrive. Not precipitating here yet. No clue if this means anything for down south.

NAM and high-res guidance is all 1.7"-ish liquid or more. 3k NAM and FV3 would be 20"+ here at 10:1. The band of Friday afternoon and evening looks more and more like high-ratio fluff here; that could tack on 5" in a hurry as the system departs.

35, some light drizzle around overnight it appears. Hope cold comes in soon.

Did models juice overnight? P&C is now 11-21 and the map jumped everyone into the 12-18 range.

Beats 50 degrees rain though.

Mitch just melted down on Twitter over it.

Move to Randolph and join the Gorham PD. Easy.

Could be biggest here. 17" or so would do it. Outside chance at least, but I still favor around 12" given the variety of model solutions.

3k over 2" liquid here as well. 20" in store?

Verbatim, biggest storm since I bought this place.

Seems to be a last minute warm trend.

00z HRRR is 2" liquid here, verbatim.

Edward Tufte would probably dedicate at least half a page to these charts in one of his books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Tufte He always had an issue with busy charts full of redundant information in big bold fonts that distract the viewer from the bigger picture the creator is trying to convey. Easier said than done to make a perfect chart though. I think these NWS graphics are pretty good. Information visualization is a fascinating and relevant topic for many disciplines, and I recommend his books to anyone who has an interest in that topic. They are full of beautiful examples of excellent and terrible visualizations of complex data. Several weather-related examples in his books.

Was very good for sure. Felt like 60s out there after the last few weeks. My kids wanted to go “spring mode” which means light jackets and t shirts but I had to remind them it was still like 35 and windy. LOL not quite there.

3" of sleet is a decent amount. If you are gonna sleet, it's best when it's an assload of the stuff.
