I will be right back, will grab the labs equipment, take some temps.

Well I walked over and on the top of a foot of snow on the roof outside my office in the shade where once a four foot drift was. Solid ice top to bottom, surface temps 27 iso all the way through. Not ripe anymore, good timing one more torch day would have decimated it.

absolutely. if it was 42 degrees this afternoon... we would have lost more than either of the torch days. what a stick save today with the cold for snowpack.

Based on what Scott said im assuming the 18z gfs is similar to the euro. Def discard those two in favor of the snowiest models based on the nams stellar track record this year

The 18z GFS is a 2-4 maybe 3-5 deal from ORH-BOS, south.

My comment was to let things transpire for another 24 hours, because we are still seeing some shifts, and this may still come north a tad...as SREFs indicate. The PV will have a say, but I'd watch for it.

Messenger has been wishing winter away post after post and the outlooks get more wintry every day, now his QPF fetish will come out. CT 4-8

Havent been around all day as I've been catching up with some work...but I'm still thinking solid advisory with low end warning lollis for much of the area.

26.0/9. I need to give the dog a 90 minute walk but don't feel like braving the cold. Torches weaken us...

Yeah, they do.. so they are useless. My 35" pack is now 15" and equal to Ray's despite my elevation.

@ Christian.. This looks like 3-5" to me as it will have a slight center jump. However, that won't deter a nice moderate event here. I'll have a forecast out on FB.. with reasoning.

@ Ray.. thats neat you have that . You beat me on one storm, i remember clearly.. i'll look up in my climo as I have snowfall maps with each storm.

The GFS actually has a nice little frontogenesis area that hangs around the Pike until 21z Monday. That's usually one of those things where we have a small lingering band of light snows that lasts maybe 2-4 hours after the main band is gone. Just another thing to look at, besides qpf.

The mid-level RH and the frontogenesis signature has been keeping me relatively bullish for this event....couple that with likely a little tick north as we get inside 24h and I think we'll see some decent snows.

Ryan said earlier he expects this to be more aggressive than depicted. I am thinking he is leaning in KeVs Wills camp

Right now I'm thinking 3-5" basically statewide. Someone will jackpot and see more but I think that may be north of us. I think this has an impressive/quick hitting look for sure

Later next week is a head scratcher. I have a few different scenarios that I could see play out.

It's temping to let the -EPO win out and do something like the GFS is doing. That is, have a weak coldfront move through on Thursday, just in time for a polar airmass to settle in for a long duration overrunning event. Or, have the Euro torch us with a cutter.

A scenario that's possible, is something closer to the euro ensemble where we have a milder day with a fropa that may come through relatively dry. That's sets us up for a wave that moves in later next weekend. I'm just not completely buying something like the HPC has and a colder GFS scenario, however the thought of that is certainly there, so it would not be wise to completely rule it out.

I hope and pray for the GFS to win here, I'm just not sure it will.

The 00z euro was pretty bullish with this. One of the "signs" I like to use to see if it verifies on the higher end of things.

the funny thing is if this was a normal winter there would be post every 10 seconds about this storm this year every expects big storms every 3 days

I just want to see everything whitened. It's really nasty looking here. Lots of grass in the typical sun torched spots, but this is now many of the south facing lawns. It's funny driving along the e-w roads because there are the "haves" and "have nots"..lol.
