Join Pickles at a training session.

This would be nice. Lots of esthetic beauty with no big issue with power, etc. At least if there are power interuptions, there's no real cold once it pulls out.

I think that's the GEM, the EC is the other map. Correct me if I'm wrong.....while this says accumulated, isn't it actually the total rainfall while the temp is below freezing not the anticipated accretion? Speaking of which....how are the modeled rain rates of this? I know for big ice one doesn't want it too heavy unless it's damn cold.

What a torch next weekend on the Euro, 180-hour caveat.

What's the best free site for EC that's more frequent than 24-hour increments? Thanks!

Part 2 could be healthy though not for SNE. We each get one though....I'd prefer your snow.

SNE is the new mid-Atlantic.

Not quite the 'woah', but solid reaction from Jerry and Scott.

How we long for the "woah!!!" comments about how cold it's shifted rather than the 'ticks' comments. Sort of like the pre- Boxing Day GFS.

lack of snow is serious bidness,

IWI 4, 6, 1

It consistently has. A nice continuation of winter for Dave and Chris/points northeast

This system could at least lessen your deficit.

Thank God. The remaining ice from the last system's sleet is nearly melted from my walkway. It needs some replenishing.

I'd be most concerned from a plumbing standpoint. We have a gas (heating) stove so at least our family room would remain warm. Our main heating is gas/steam heat and we have a tankless hot water system. I imagine the latter two require electricity to run but I'm not sure. Even in GC we managed to get into the cold. Not as much as eastern areas, but I was impressed by how we held below freezing.

2.8". Seriously, I think you will get that. I do think the ice-angst for areas below RT 2 and certainly south of the Pike is overdone. Could there be some? I Sure, but I think the low-level cold will come in less so as this ticks back north. Further, Wineminster's comment on the lack of antecdent cold will mitigate icing potential. Bottom line, I'm echoing my earlier post and there will be much lament over the cold rain.

I refuse to get excited for this. Remember how the EC was a consistently cold model for the last event. GFS, while it trended cooler continued to be the warm model showing mostly ip/zr with little snow. The GFS was closer to reality than the EC come game-time, and many of us still have crusty ice to show for it. The lead up to this already has a starting point warmer than the last. I anticipate we'll find the press and NE flow are overdone. 34* rain south of the pike with a little sleet between the pike and Rt 2, and a more veritable wintry mix north of Rt 2. A Hippy kind of winter and an 'at last' for Jeff and Lava.

Much better than the mall!

OT sitting here at the Natick mall as my daughter shops, all I can think of is thank God for mobile devices/internet. This sucks!

Thx

Pit 2 is midway between the 4-8-1 at KIWI and the 1-6 for NAS. Maine new year might be calling.

For pwm?

Imagine if this were snow. until we get closer in, I’m hanging with Dave on the meh front. Pain in the ass shoveling of sleet.
