Dec 16-20 Snow/Mix events - Going over like a fart in church

Man the ECM looks pretty darn good for NNE... Maine gets absolutely smoked by both storms. Dryslot and Jayhawk shoveling for days. Looks lighter out this way, but still about 3 days of mood snows and wintery precip.

We'll take it.

6z GFS continues to look horrific though. Thank god we've been told that's the worst model and to throw its entire package out ;)

Man, its tough to not just flip the **** out.....south of me until this point in the season, now north...I'm so fu**ing sick of this sh**.

More rain.....no worries, eternal and omnipresent hope at day 7.

00z runs def looked like they came in a tick cooler overall. I didn't try to stay up for the later guidance like the Euro. Models definitely keyed in the secondary sfc reflection a bit earlier. Definitely could get interesting as the mid-levels really aren't that warm either at their warmest point.

On a side note, the Euro ensembles have a ridiculously strong signal for a storm on Dec 21-22 and then anothe pretty good one on Dec 27-28

I know I have been getting my cayoones busted about analogs but man for Christmas week they really have had a solid signal for what the Euro Ens are smoking.

yeah someplace between you and dendrite that warm punch is going to come to a dead stop. how far north of downtown ORH are you in reality? i know i've asked you this before but i can't remember.

either way still doesn't look like a *serious* icy situation right now. but still some time to see where and how the axis of precip evolves.

There isn't nearly enough QPF for serious ice even if someone somehow got almost all ice from this first sytem. Its less than an inch of QPF even on robust models solutions. Euro has like 2 or 3 tenths. I have a feeling the weenie snow on Sunday may trend to hold on longer as we get into the final 48 hours and the guidance "sees" the airmass a bit better.

The euro ensembles storm 12/22 looks cold and snowy most. I am sticking with snow to rain coast, snow to ice inland in the I90 corridor.

Yeah I do think some weenie amounts are possible in NE Mass into S NH from wave 1. That mid level warming hits a wall near the MA/NH border.

Tell Ray that so he steps away from the ledge. I'm thinking 1-3" here, but I don't think the news outlets will ever get us getting anything more than a C-1".

It will certainly become a nowcast event.

Personally, I'd have the CT hills in the mid 30's 34-38F

Yeah that sounds reasonable to me for both waves probably.

The problem with wave 2 is that it's too fast and follows immediately after wave 1 torches the mid levels. So a 925 to 2M cold tuck will be meaningless with an ugly layer from 750-900mb.

Step away from the ledge?

Everything I thought would happen, took place....nuisance, lame first event, then everything is wiped out with a hideous rainer.

Hopefully next week holds, but its frustrating to say the least.

Oh yeah I wasn't implying it was going to morph into a destructive event :lol:

I just didn't want to come across as downplaying.

Agreed. Sun will be nothing more than a nuisance. And I'm close to aborting storm 2.

Like you said, hope remains eternal in the LR. At least the LR signal isn't torch.

Bingo, there is no recovery. If it's going to snow down in the southern tier of SNE, it's going to be from the intial WAA burst. Something we'll have to watch though, since they can come in sooner than modeled. I think BOXs forecast looks pretty good at this time. A general 1-2" than a changeover to a period of ZR for some than a transitions to straight RA. I think this cold push is bootleg and won't have much staying power of the area S of a BOS-ALY line.

i think you'll be ok with what you get. You'll initially be farther away from the mid-level warming so you may make out with a little more than others. From your perspective, yes it will likely be lame.

Yea, I mean....I'm not spiking the football after getting 2", as opposed to 1".....it will wash away just as quickly.

And all of the ice talk is irrelevant to me because I don't get that.

It's all mid levels here.

if mid level temps co-operate for any qpf "thump" we will need to make sure ene breeze/ winds don't bring higher dpoints over the cp of ne mass and torch the bl. A cf will prob set up from. N reading thru , downtown burlington, nw lexington area but don't hold me to that locale.
