Trending toward cirrus at best, nuisance at worst N of the Pike. Even if it comes back some it’s going to be a prolonged, light, annoying advisory event. Good luck CT.

With my wife having Covid now, and me possibly having it too, I’m all in on spring and nicer weather at this point.

Have a shed being built and I’m putting in a fire pit as soon as the weather gets better

Yep. We nape.

Absolutely, they make delicious stuff. Headway is always in my fridge. 

Yes! The little packie down the street from me had Crucial Mass and Headway. Practically lived on those two during quarantine.

@Damage In Tolland Thanks for the tip on the Fat Orange Cat dude. Having a "Baby Kittens" now and it's very good. 

Have you been to Counter Weight? When I was down in CT during March and April they were my go to NEIPAs. 

I'm drinking a really nice DIPA from Spyglass in Nashua. Anyone who likes NEIPAs around here should get some cans from them.

2008 ruined ice for me. It’s going to be a long time until anything even sniffs that. Legendary ice.

12/8/2008...or something like that.

Yessah!! Combined with no melting in between 

I think the second one has more ZR potential than the 17th. 17th looks more snowy/scalpy to me. Second one is also D6-D7 so we're a long ways out. I love big ice just as much as the next guy and would much rather have ice than two miserable PITA kitchen sink events in a row but I don't see generator stuff as it stands right now.

Next week looks like it's going to really blow. I'm ready to nape.

Both storms have potential for 1” of icing on trees . That’s big. Sorry you don’t like it 

No way. Not enough liquid and too much liquid is "wasted" on snow/sleet. I don't see how this is a 1'' of accretion type of signal. 

Edit: Unless you mean combined, which would make more sense, but still way too much QPF is going to be snow and sleet for huge ice like that.

People post what they want ... it's fun and all... annoying for those trying for objectivity and lucidity to wade through a cackling bus-stop of poorly comported audience members...

buuut, can we reign in the "big" adjective on the front of the ice ?  

not sure what other mets and skilled enthusiasts are seeing but this doesn't quite have that kind of look to it .  I guess 'big' in that context is a bit subjective... but big is usually got a historic connotation to it and it really shouldn't in this - for now.

Ice storms seem to almost need now casting more so than snow storms - there that.  Probably owing to the fact that the models don't resolve the lowest 100 ... 200 mb of the atmosphere as well, so cold wedging can be "invisible" ... But I've seen ice storm warnings end up forgettable ...while advisory for winter weather leads end up being 1:10 years deals. These a still fast moving system and probably the QPF is overdone as it is.. .. 

Agree 100%. 0.25 - 0.5'' of glaze on the trees? BFD. 

Yeah, it's going to be at least an advisory level thump here then just enough sleet to make it impossible to clean up. Can't wait!

Pike north or especially Rt. 2 north might cash on some decent snow next week. Looks really gross for you southern folks.

What sort of annual income does a family need to be able to legitamately afford a $500-600k house?  I'm not even close.

 

And if you’re single and in your 20s thinking about buying around here you’re really fooked.

Nice band from ORH county to Middlesex county now

 

Maybe our first time in ~20 dBZ returns all day but still can't lose the baking powder. Just not going to happen.

Have we not had a SWFE or a coastal front set up along 495?

Ray moves south and it's just going to be SWFE scalper after SWFE scalper. Maybe a few canal huggers in between.

I would say that is more elevation.

This spot is a relative snow-hole.

Yeah, bad example. The latitude helps more with avoiding ML warmth in some of those marginal scenarios. MV is a relatively shitty spot for biggies, I agree.

I can not name one major event in the 2.5 yrs that I have lived here, in which the latitude from Wilmington to Methuen benefited me.

Not one...zero....its hurt in several.

It's that sloppy 3-6'' on March 26th that the extra latitude can help with.

Glorified greasy coating here. 

Thinking it's going to be a heavy heavy bust on the 4-6'' calls for here I saw last night and this morning. 

Total baking powder here.

Really? I'd be surprised at this point to get anymore than 1" and kinda think we just get a covering.

I'm not particularly excited but I think we at least eek out 2'' of fluff.

Just some pixie dust stuff so far. Looks on track for another 2-4'' to me. 

Warnings to Tyngsborough? Lol.

Going to have to assume the NAM is on crack. 1-3'' here.
