potential for a few mangled flakes part 3

not just coastal plain, i think even linland areas below 700 ft will have temp issues

If the warmest model guidance is right, that will be the case. But I don't think it will be.

I think the temp problems will primarily be confined to areas below 400ft or so, especially after the heavier stuff moves in. I'm not saying it will be aob freezing everywhere above there, but I can see places at - say 100ft - having trouble getting below 36F, while it's 33.5 at 500ft. That makes a huge difference when snow is falling.

I would say minor adjustment eastward on the RGEM. Those images just posted are a little deceptive because the surface pressure is listed on one with an X on the far west side of the central contour, but not the other. But the overall structure shifted east only slightly IMO. And changes to the thermal profiles or R/S lines look relatively minor as well - albeit changes in a positive direction. Good run from the RGEM. Slightly weaker at surface and aloft. Slightly later developing with a bit less QPF in far N and W. Probably slightly colder near the dividing line based on 850mb low track.

Well if you look at the thinner pressure contours it's definitely east--and also weaker. Fits the trend of the higher resolution models tonight. The Euro just came in essentially looking like it's 12z run...which is not too dissimilar to the latest runs of the NAM.

Pretty exciting stuff. We're in for a fun 24 hrs.

Welp here is my forecast accums for our area. I've worked over 15 hrs today on snowfall forecasts all across new england, but i think I got the right general idea for our area..not very confident tho given the time of year.

Wow, I can't believe on I'm a plane heading to JFK to see a historic snowstorm back home... and the models actually seem to have gotten slightly snowier since I left Elko ;thumbsup:

When we say historic I keep thinking tons of snow but then realize .9 is historic lol

Here is a true story: When 'snowmageddon', or whatever it was called hit Washington DC, Dr. Louis Uccellini on the day before it hit flew to NYC and then to India to meet with their respective meteorological agency. On board the flight to NYC a baby started crying. He said to himself, you are not the only one that is upset.

Sounds like how I felt on February 8, 2010, when I flew back to Elko a day before the 5th biggest snowstorm on record at TTN (17.6" on Feb 9-10, biggest storm since 1996).
