As we said...the risk is always warmer. No blocking and srn stream vorts suck.

But Tip says I'm pessimistic.

So true. 12z nam paints a New England rain event unless it's northern New England (northern as in hello Canada). What a winter this has been, and we can't say it's early any more.

there was plenty of reason to think warmer could win out. the only real large-scale difference with this event vs. all the others is some semblance of rising pressures to our NNE helping with some low level cold drainage. otherwise, a lot of the same issues at play that have been there since november really

what few storms we've had this winter have all verified further N and W with snow/frozen and underperformed in that dept as well...seasonal trend....

Also wrong. This is a post lacking geographic persepctive. A number of storms have verified SOUTH and EAST of the latest model trends. Esp. when viewed from the ADK/Northen VT perspective.

BTV going Advisory Event tomorrow for 3-7" of snow.

Then another Advisory Event on Friday.

ANOTHER ROUND OF MORE SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION EXPECTED VERY LATE

THURSDAY NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY AS STRONG CLOSED

AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION.

THE COMBINATION OF A POTENT VORT MAX AND CLOSED UPPER

CIRCULATION...ALONG WITH DEEP MOISTURE...STEEPENING LAPSE RATES AND

STRONG UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION WILL LEAD TO POTENTIAL FOR SOME

LOCALLY MODERATE TO HEAVY CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION AT TIMES ON

FRIDAY...WITH BETTER CHANCE FOR HIGHER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS BEING

ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK. PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL BE IN QUESTION

FRIDAY MORNING AS BOUNDARY TEMPS RATHER MILD TO BEGIN WITH...BUT

WITH RAPID COOLING ALOFT DURING THE DAY...LOOK FOR ANY MIX TO

CHANGE OVER TO SNOW. ANOTHER ADVISORY TYPE EVENT FOR MUCH OF THE

REGION IS ANTICIPATED FOR FRIDAY.

Then Brooke Taber threw us a bone here on Friday night/Saturday upslope potential. I met him last summer here in Stowe and we we always talk about the snowfall in the mtns via email, he knows what happens in this area with good ratios and NW flow.

THE CYCLONIC NORTHWEST UPSLOPE FLW WL

RESULT IN MTNS SNOW SHOWERS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...WITH SOME

ACCUMULATION ANTICIPATED ACRS THE NORTHERN DACKS AND PARTS OF THE

GREEN MTNS OF VT. OVERALL...QPF AMOUNTS WL RANGE BTWN 0.05 TO

0.20"...BUT GIVEN A HIGH FLUFF FACTOR WITH COOLING THERMAL

PROFILES...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED A FEW LOCATIONS LIKE JAY PEAK TO

STOWE RECEIVE 5 OR 6 INCHES OF ADDITIONAL SNOW BY SATURDAY AFTN.

LATEST NAM12 SHOWS FAVORABLE 1000 TO 700MB RH PROFILES...STRONG

UVVS ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES FROM WEST TO NORTHWEST 85H WINDS OF

30 TO 40 KNTS ALONG WITH AREAS OF ENHANCED QPF FIELDS. THESE FACTORS

COMBINED WITH RAPIDLY FALLING 85H TEMPS UNDER STRONG LLVL CAA WL

HELP TO SQUEEZE REMAIN MOISTURE FROM ATMOSPHERE...RESULTING IN

PERIODS OF OCCASIONAL SNOW SHOWERS.

wrong simply wrong.

warm air aloft doesn't translate into plain rain for much of CNE and NNE

chill simply chill. Lol. This may not be plain rain or all rain, but it is largely rain for most of New England outside of northern areas which is my original post. There are never absolutes and elevation and other factors and exceptions may come to play, but the fact is the 12z nam shows this as largely a rain event for most. Boy, people are getting snow deprived and testy.

still wrong simply wrong. :blahblah: you said Canada and all of new england in your post. The nam doesn't show largely a rain event for most of CNE and NNE. It shows a mostly frozen event for a large chunk of New England.

Yes the panic is setting in. :weenie::(:weep:
