December 23rd light snow potential

What are you thinkin for 1k over here? Ski area "summit" is 1.1k, their base is 550. Would be nice to get even a couple of inches of replenishment.

Yeah I can see that for you..maybe even 2-4 if things break out right. The latitude may be a bit of an issue so I think you're going to wait another 12-18hrs or so and see how things look.

That would be sweet even though its highly unlikely

What would be chagriningly funny (not a word...) is if it were right on QPF but correcting colder because of the usual headaches surrounding resolution in the boundary layer and critical thickness depths, and viola.

14" of warning snow and very littel leading coverage.

the NAM is so much colder than anything else out there.

I know it. I'm really not excited at all outside of the hills of ORH and maybe nrn mass/srn NH. Kevin maybe as well..but it's still a little shaky even for him. I just see this as waiting for cat paw crap trying to change over, and then maybe it does flip to 34 -SN..only to be melted an hour later. At least for my area. And this isn't the GFS swaying me...I just see it as that right now. Maybe I'll change my tune later.

Knowing model bias, its hard to go against a Euro Gfs blend, I would think accumulating snowfall would be limited to northern orh and west, maybe extreme nw ct up by norfolk for an inch or two.

IMO the GFS has been fairly consistent with this system and was the first to sniff out the non storm for xmas, it should actually do pretty well in a swfe regime, even though 2m thermal profiles might be a tad too warm.

I think I would have to agree with you here. Things have just been terrible so far and this set-up is nothing to get excited about really. I remember at one point we thought maybe the rain we're getting today could be a front end thump of snow/ice. It just seems like if it can be warmer, it will be.

11/23 trended colder for me at the last moment and I ended up with over 7". I wouldn't hang your head quite yet.

That was one where the NAM actually scored a coup at this time range....it went way colder, and I was skeptical, but it turned out to be onto something. I think it originally went too cold showing warning snow all the way down to just south of the MA/NH border, but it still had the trend correct.
