Why are people so afraid of any sleet? Damn, that means you are maximizing WAA and precipitation. Take the QPF dump and if you nibble some pellets, so be it.
Yeah in most places… but it’s been squeezing out low level moisture ahead of and behind the front. WSW flow entraining moisture from the Great Lakes, then NWN winds wringing it out… almost like a standing wave.
Mansfield Magic morning… I swear the top of the Gondola terrain gets 50% more snowfall than the snow plots a lot of the time.
This is what 2” edited to 5” looks like on the snow report, ha. Could’ve said a foot up top and people would’ve believed it. But we stick with the standard plots.
Crazy squalls. Had thunder and lightning at the mountain and shut down for 30 minutes like the summer.
Even in town MVL with the rare M1/4sm visibility.

That particular prog likes the triangle of you to Will to Scooter… looks like the classic Essex County flow. Remember a few of those from back in the WWBB days when Topsfield and Danvers always seemed to jackpot.
That radar went right over the heart of the ADKs and then turned northward into NVT. Jay was in it the longest, and it just clipped Mansfield.
We saw 2.5” at the northern plot and 1.5” on the snow cam a mile or so south. 4-5” up at Jay Peak seemed reasonable.
This looks like a problem down south… -10s in Alabama after the storm? lol.
I have no idea what their records are but that’s wild if they get fake cold set up after snow/ice.
We've all been there and understand. It's just nice to see the page try to turn.
The difference between looking outside and seeing a white landscape, vs brown and dead in the darkest time of year makes a huge difference aesthetically.
Sounds pleasant.

Ha, we can make ends meet without it.
All joking aside, fairly normal progression as the jet lowers in latitude this time of year. We get in the sweet spot like Nov/Dec and then again March/April. Jan and Feb should be south of this latitude.
