Hard to believe there wouldn't be significant freezing rain in interior SNE on Mon given the Euro scenario.

yeah there certainly could be.

verbatim it looks like a lot of the precip falls before the surface cools enough but that's a fine line obviously.

there are a few caveats to going ballz out on ice i think...one of which will be trying to scour out a pretty mild BL during the first part of this event. i'd imagine the higher terrain of MA / NW CT would be the prime candidates still.

Yeah

Ahh ...well what it really boils down to here is luck. The lucky people that find themselves just far enough west of the secondary low track and yet cold enough for frozen. At this point given the model instability it could be anyone from Western NY to interior NE..... It is probably a fairly narrow stripe..maybe 75 miles wide until you get well north...

You missed my post in the Upstate thread lol. Yeah, the CD is crushed. QPF is close to or over an inch as snow.

The gfs really cools the low levels fast behind the thing - generally isothermal 2M to 850 it seems..... unusually fast for the GFS so maybe it is telling us something. That the low level arctic air will bleed in pretty fast. Here it tends to siphon down the Champlain/Hudson corridor. Maybe we'll see a turn to FZRA before any snow.

I'm guessing/hoping Euro 2m temps are too warm like Justin was insinuating

i definitely wouldn't rule it out but imo it's going to be tricky to get a widespread icing event. the further n and w you are the better your chances obviously but the atmosphere is sort of the reverse of what you want for ice.

I'd be rooting for FZRA if it was on the front end of this thing and it was gonna save the snow pack. But this would come after we already took a devastating hit - so it seems of little value. I'd just like a flip to snow.

I wonder if sleet is the bigger deal here. Maybe a narrow area of heavy ZR, but I could see sleet as a big threat.

yeah that's a possibility in that corridor there as well.

the euro has a big pocket of 2-m temps in the 50s across CT/MA during the day on sunday. that surface boundary is going to have to haul azz and have a very sharp temp gradient.
