I think it's much too soon to discuss "compromise" solutions. They are both moving, so we don't even have stationary goal posts to compromise from.

Aren't they they the only 06z run we can see other than the op? If so, they're not outliers. They're one of two things that make for an apples-to-apples comparison.

Yeah--06z is a lot snowier. Looks like by the time any mixing might occur many would be dry-slotting.

Yeah--Pete and Mitch ftw

They're not.

That includes your 1-3" from Friday.

Just returned to find about 10 pages of new posts.....what a shitshow. lol

We've climbed 12 degrees (5-17) since I came down at 4:45. TORCH!!!

At least we had last Friday's event. In the meantime, I'll request again that we require a max of 72 hours before starting a thread? For the love of God---why start these a week out?

Yeah--there's still plenty of time for it to run over Detroit.

06z GFS tracks the low through Scranton.

Per the nearby PWS, we managed a -1 last night, both before and after midnight. So I guess we bootlegged back-to-back subzero's.

Down to 4 here in Westborough. -1.3 at Pit2.

Yeah--they referenced it as lifting a few hours before go-time. Or something like that.

Even on the coast at Pit2 it's 3. And here in Westborough it's already down to 5.

So for all the ICON dispersions: I'm watching a WWII documentary on D-Day. Not surprisingly, Rommel was going to be commanding the bulk of the Panzer divisions. Here's where it gets funny. Quoting the documentary here: "Rommel considered the first 24-48 hours would be crucial for this battle. And where was he? He was in Germany celebrating his wife's birthday. He had believed too much in the German weather forecasts which had said on the 6th of June it would be poor weather--but then the weather shifts...."

Who's said it's going to be rain? We don't know where this things going to go at this point. I'm just keeping my options open.

Better than most. Something to watch in any case--and perhaps to make travel plans to Maine.

Speaking of night......the added 20 minutes to sunset is a bittersweet observation. Soon Tip will be posting about his warm car. On the other hand, it's no longer completely dark when I take the dog for her 5:00pm walk (close to it still, but clearly not).

I'd classify these as "arctic hounds howling in the distance". Squalls notwithstanding, single digits is not too traumatic. As far as the rest of your post, totally agree.

I might live in a town of Karens, but at least they didn't call a 'cold day'. Bottomed out a 7 here. Scored a -1 at Pit2.

Just noticed I picked up a half inch or so last night. Every little bit helps.

I’m giving Friday two more runs to show real promise. Then on to Monday.
