That's the wave I'm talking about...we get a ripping deep layer SW flow from 5h to 7h and then eventually dryslot. It tries to form a CCB, but exits outta here before it really can...eastern Maine catches a bit of that.

Eh, not so much from where I'm sitting... You'd have to call all open waves SWFE then, and that's not really meteorologically clad for me. If/when 500mb vorticity maximum goes underneath one's latitude is a bit different than going west while there's strong +PP north exerting cold stubbornly into the llvs. 'Course, the GFS runs the vmax right up our fannies, so not sure.

But, "SWFE" isn't really a formal Glossary declared definition, either, so there's wiggle room for interpretation I think. ( "Unable to find term 'SWFE'" :) )

Chairlift genocide. LMAO. Just imagine being on the base of the mtn and seeing all these long haired workers taking the chairlift up and then the lifts return with nobody on board.

Generally the case no?

As of now I could see the warm front running into a brick wall somewhere up in VT that spares PF from the rain. Maybe some basebuilding slop but he'd take it.

We didn't start using the term to describe the sfc winds...it was describing the mid-level flow. Having like 80 knots ripping from the SW at 700mb up to 500mb. Mostly WAA process for the precip and higher risk of ptype contamination.

Most of the classic SWFEs were open waves in 2007 and 2008. 12/16/07 closed off to our west though.

Yeah, I see ... my own personal hang-up with that needs to have the Vmax go west.

Some deep layer cyclones are tilted, too - that enters a whole 'nother aspect -

foolish to speculate at this hour...but that's what we do i guess...euro has a decent icing signature for the interior (N of the pike type of thing) with pretty good HP centered NNE of NE and LP cutting west...good CAD look

I was thinking the same thing. Would be perhaps a quick little burst of snow followed by icing in the interior in the usual favored spots.

We'll have a different look in 12 hours and then another in 24 hours.

would be one of those deals where hubbdave and will are stuck at like 31.9F for hours and only briefly jump to 36 or 37F.

Rotting just under 32. Hey at this stage not much more than we can ask, so early. I'm sure anybody in the interior would take that. I wonder how many solutions will occur over the next 8-10 runs.
