You should to, I was in Construction for many years and you would be surprised the people that ended up with leaks even on fairly new roofs, Its the daming with water backing up under the shingles and when it starts and can be a nightmare..

I second that. I cleaned all my low pitch porch roofs yesterday. Main house is standing seam FTW. Git yer azz to wirk.

Not to be too weenie but this looks to have the potential of one of the great winter storms of all time in terms of how broad of an impact it has across the entire US from the plains all the way to new england with a combo of heavy snow, heavy ice, wind, and even strong storms in the warm sector. I'd love to hear one of the weather historians put the potential in perspective in terms of another storm that has had such a broad impact.

This is gonna be a tough forecast here. I'm leaning more snowy, but I def think we'll be flirting with pingers.

Its interesting that most guidance now has what I was kind of describing yesterday....a period where the high fights back along with dynamics and we actually see the mid-levels cool slightly for a few hours. The insane direct flow from Maine and those thicknesses not getting over 546 is still a red flag for me on how this could go on future guidance.

Yea, not a huge diff, but it should be enough to set up the sleet line at the pike, as opposed to rt 2.....my guess is the EC ens still holds it at the pike.....that is the way to go.

Scott, is this a big time ZR threat in your eyes across inland CT or do you think we may be "saved" by sleet?

It will be for parts of inland CT..probably sw of HFD imo. It's such a touchy setup since a few more hours of sleet will put a limit to the icing. However, maybe the sleet area is pretty narrow? It's too early to determine that.

is D6 Friday or Saturday? Fly to london Sunday morn...

Jer, maybe we should have coffee up here on Wed instead of Peets in Brookline.

Peets or bust. I think we do ok based on climo of these events. It's very unusual for this area to have prolonged sleet. Rain yes, snow yes, sleet...well VD 07 stands out and I can't remember other events.

You know as well, I have seen a lot of fallen ceilings and replaced sheetrock from just not getting at least the 1st 6' off the roof, I have one section of mine that has very little pitch if its a storm with wind no problem, But if there is no wind it just sits up there, Much better since i used ice&water shield up there no worrys....

Just hope that s/w doesn't trend stronger. If it stays status quo, I could see everything tucked south another 20 miles or so.

violently agree.

I don't think this aspect is being discussed enough.

Decided to post something similar in the main thread to see if any of the folks that track winter history can give a perspective. I guess it might be more appropriate as a post-mortem since this is still just potential but the signals are quite strong right now.

You're scaring me...lol. I mentioned to people yesterday at the GTG. I have a flat roof, house is 130 years old. No way am I going up there to risk my life. It's seen snowpack before. But leaks are certainly possible.

Thanks. I am sw of HFD so that's worrisome..hopefully we limit the ice accretion to < .5"
