This will be one of those events too where Ray is clearing every 6hrs and ends up with 5” more than the guy across the street who sticks his yardstick in at the end. 1”+ of QPF as primarily fluff will have natural compaction.
Strange look aloft compared to other models…dumps the PV lobe/nrn stream much further SW and then redevelops the ULL over W NY where the srn stream pva goes to town.
GFS is still mostly southern stream driven…that was juiced coming out of TX vs 6z. I can’t help but think the northern stream phasing in will be a bigger player in the end.
Of course you’d have to be clearing every 6hrs as well. A more prolonged event with amounts that high and you start dealing with the weight of the snow upon itself.
