Talked with my parents at the house in ME

6 to 8 in is what they are looking at starting tomorrow night

They also have around 36in on on the ground

They are over in Bridgeton right? I am getting close to that snowpack total, Never got my snow stake out this year, They should see all of that

18z GFS= YUCK....EDIT: It actually hammers SNH at 42... Heavy heavy wet snow bomb

FYI..... The 12z NMM and ARW are really cold and juicy for this event and if they verified they would give N MA and SNH around 8-10 inches of heavy wet snow... take a look... how have these models been in past storms with temps?

Jeff,

Did you look at soundings? I looked at 12Z for CON and we stay below freezing barely at all levels except 32.1 at the surface. But I don't know how to get to 18Z. Same is true for LCI and LEW. Have you looked at any other soundings?

I will be driving at 5am from here to Bos on Sunday morning.

yeah i guess the big issue is whether it's 33-34F and rain or 31-32F and ice. i agree with will that areas north of the pike need to be on the lookout. south of there it's a tougher call. without a feed of fresh dry air into the low levels, it kind of has the -SN to -ZR to RN look to me for most regions south of the pike and west of 95.

I'm big on past history also knowledge of local climate/microclimate.. I won't be shocked if the hills stay 31 or so..and won't be shocked if it's 33 either

12z American models rip and read

Neither one of those supports his forecast. He must be using some of the mesos. They don't do maps online..but here's his blog

It looks like a mix of sleet, snow and rain will develop across the state midday and create slippery travel by the afternoon

As time wears on, I expect the mix to change to snow and end after midnight. Accumulations will range from about 1-inch in southeastern Connecticut to as much as 5 inches in the central and northwestern hills of the state.

Very little difference either way. You soak it up, bulletproof it, and hopefully add on next week. Nothing to be upset about. We do live near 42N you know..lol.

I'm going to be hard pressed to break even.

Eh, so you take a minor hit. We try again next week.

We really need to take a step back and realize we are in unprecedented territory, so it's surprise we may not be able to sustain such a ridiculous snowpack. However, we get a second chance next week.

Still may be a flip to snow for you before dawn Sunday.
