Ice storms are inherently difficulter 'er to predict; by very nature, you gotta have cold in the lower (sometimes a mere) 100 to 200mbs of troposphere, where the models have a difficult time resolving things.

This smacks as one of those opportunities to bust icer -- whether folks want to get there heads around this or not, there is still a +PP situated N, and with wave running out underneath it really doesn't matter what the 800mb level is doing in my mind, there is going to be a perpetual cold drain gong on near the service.

Storm 3 is a classic snowstorm. Low pressure over the Lakes/Canada, stale old air over us and warm mid levels. We're so close to doing well with that one. ;)

Down go the bowling pins one by one.

And I fear what comes after Xmas.

A few days ago we had binders full of snowstorms, now all we have is dusty old analogs.

(21-26 is going to produce)

Our shot may be more or less explosive redevelopment along the leading edge of the polar air. I'm getting excited about the 22-25th....first time since last Tuesday I've been this excited.

All models have some semblance of either a 1 2 punch, to me it's probably now looking more like a single event that tries to cut, falls victim to the block but this time has a massive amount of cold air with it and ends up a rain to snow deal with a wild storm in the west atlantic.

Whoever posted that GFS snow map looks reasonable to me, not much going to happen south of the pike.

days upon days of snow upcoming

Is there really any accumulating snow in SNE south of the Pike in the next 340 hours on the GFS? Lol. I miss the days of the GFS/AVN showing multiple blizzards per run.

Aside of the 20-27thish ...after that I think we just rinse and repeat this same tired pattern. (and I mean in terms of sensible weather OTG here in SNE, not at the stratospheric level, or the movement of some block from point A to point B. I mean in terms of snow/cold OTG vs the mild to near seasonable pattern we've had that's dominated by mild weather events)
