Ice Ice Baby December 28-29 Storm Discussion

I think you will get some decent icing. 1k way up there will give you an advantage over most of the population in NH. I could see you pulling 1/3” radial. -

It’s a 3hr burst of +ZR which will limit accretion. After 12z everyone starts rotting AOA 32°. I don’t care what a weenie algorithm of “fzra qpf” shows. -

Overblown. Cope. -

We deal with the overblown icing products every icing event. There will probably be spotty outages in the hill towns and here-north, but I’d be surprised at anything widespread. A half inch of accretion is a lot of ice. Heck this is only 5/16” radial. -

lol…that’s like 70% of the euro qpf in the Merrimack Valley. We’re not getting a half inch of accretion -

They bit on the HREF icing. I’m still taking the under. -

Even 32° here with full sun. Nice afternoon. -

But it only takes 15 minutes of freezing drizzle to turn I93 into a demolition derby. At least the state piled a couple hundred thousand pounds of salt on the highway for the 1” the other day so the salt residue remains. -

And to Tip’s point…. A short period of +RA with marginal <32° temps and no evaporative cooling offset isn’t going to result in significant accretion. A lot of that liquid will run off and “waste” to the ground. -

Gotta separate QPF as ZR and actual accretion too. I think you’ll have some decent icing up there around 1k Gene. But there’s really no ageostrophic lower dewpoint drain to offset the diabatic warming so once the ZR begins it’s a slow trend upward to 32°. I think we’ll probably wedge into the 30s until the cold fropa, but I think any additional accretion ends here in the morning and maybe mid to late morning up there. -

Maybe one of those setups where you shoot up to 40° while Ryan is still -ZR in WeHa? -

The SN/IP zone in Maine kinda gets bullied by the WAA…not something I like to see for going big ice in CNE. HRRR has MHT below 32° for the entirety…hard sell on that. I think it’s underestimating the diabatic latent warming and the lack of Tip’s +PP. -

Hopefully it’s not congrats DC, but at least there’s no monster PNA in the extended. I’ll roll with that block. -
Hit 9.5° but currently 12.7° with a bit of a breeze. The stations all by the river approached 0°. Very fake morning.

MWN +19 and First Lake -14 tells you how fake the cold is.

Monday’s morning commute may suck, but otherwise this is overblown. -

Yeah I agree with both of you. I think Gene may get more prolonged icing than most given his elevation up at Newfound, but this won’t be anything historical. I doubt there’s much accretion after early/mid Monday morning so 1/3-1/2” QPF won’t be a big deal outage/damage wise…although the Monday AM commute will probably be a disaster.
