I'm not going to get sucked into that question at this point...lol
If it ends up a weak, strung-out mess then maybe there's mixed showers down in SNE, but if that's the case, who cares about ptype, right?
Yeah...not gonna happen. Looks like it loses/buries some of the energy in the deep south and we end up with something weaker up here before the trailing s/w pushes through.
idk...still looks like plenty of potential to me despite the messy looks. Of course messy hasn't gotten us very far this winter.
That kicker plays the turd in the punch bowl on the op GFS. FV3 has more wave spacing and says no problem. 120hr both storm related shortwaves are just off LI except the GFS has the kicker entering w PA while the FV3 has it over Lake MI. Haven't seen the 6z EC though.
Still about a foot here. I’ll measure it the morning. I had 12” this morning so maybe 11ish? Down to 33° so the puddles are getting some skim ice. The roof is almost entirely clear and dry now minus one tiny patch in a sheltered spot on the north side of the garage. So hopefully we slow down the melt this week with the 35-40° days and 15° nights. With sun and lower RH we should be able to sublimate and evaporate some of it away too.
Guess we have to keep an eye on late week for a late bloomer too.
Big hit to the pack in elevations. Newbury cocorahs is down to 8”. Lower els are a foot or more. A torched early yesterday and for much longer overnight than the lower els.
This is from the old BOX site. 12” events aren’t supposed to be this easy.

Click on snowstorms and then climatology.
I laugh when people expect a 12 incher every year now.
Neither have you.
I see one decent hail report. Whoopdeedoo. Typical New England storms....heavy rain and some lightning.
I never disagreed with Wiz though. It was more a poke at storms in New England. I’m just as guilty as everyone else here...if I get a 5”/hr rate with a lot of lighting and maybe brief pea hail it’s severe to my standards. lol
