I'm less concerned with the BL than the temps aloft. I don't see much of an impetus to scour out the low level cold behind the first wave, so I'm expecting cold air to remain stuck against the mountains. Problem is that the second wave follows so quickly that there is no CAA in the mid levels, and we're left with a truly stale air mass. It's all a question of how quickly we can get the secondary to crash those heights back towards the coast.

Yes 850 gets warm and close @925 need that 2nd wave to get going sooner

Well at least i get my ice ...And I do think it's going to stay ice for a very long time

UTILIZING CIPS ANALOG GUIDANCE FROM SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY...NEARLY

ALL OF THE ANALOGS EVENTS /15 IN TOTAL/ SIMILAR TO 15.0Z NAM

EXHIBITED A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF FREEZING RAIN OBSERVATIONS ACROSS

SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. COLD AIR DAMMING IS DEFINITELY APPARENT IN

MANY OF THEM AS WELL...WITH THE SE COASTAL PLAIN SCOURED OUT

QUICKLY...WHILE THE INTERIOR REMAINS AT OR BELOW THE FREEZING MARK

FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THE BEST ANALOG EVENT IN THE LAST SEVERAL

RUNS CONTINUES TO BE CENTERED AROUND DECEMBER 9TH 1986 WHERE THE

HEAVIEST SNOWS WERE ACROSS N NEW ENGLAND...HEAVIER PRECIP WAS S OF

NEW ENGLAND...AND A MAJORITY OF NEW ENGLAND SOME FREEZING RAIN AT

SOME POINT. IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MUCH ICE ACCRETION OCCURRED.

WITH THE POINTS RAISED ABOVE...FEEL THE EVENT IS MARGINAL AT THIS

TIME. DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO BELIEVE A WATCH IS WARRANTED

CRITERIA BEING 6" SNOW AND/OR 0.5 INCHES OF ICE ACCRETION. WHILE

WINTER WX ADVISORIES ARE LIKELY NEEDED FOR 3RD AND 4TH PERIODS BASED

ON THE LATEST FCST...WILL ALLOW LATER SHIFTS TO ADDRESS ACCORDINGLY

WITH UPDATED FCST INFORMATION AND PUBLISH AS THEY SEE FIT.

Euro is not rain to snow, it has a little weenie patch of QPF afterwards, but how often does that work out.

Chance is there. All we can ask

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN THIS TIME FRAME. THE SYSTEM WILL

BECOME VERTICALLY STACKED AND SLOWLY M0VE EAST OF THE REGION. IT

MAY BE A SITUATION WHERE WE ARE JUST DEALING WITH A FEW SHOWERS

AND MUCH OF THE TIME ENDS UP DRY. HOWEVER...IF THE SYSTEM AND ITS

WELL DEFINED MID LEVEL CENTERS ARE LOCATED FAR ENOUGH SOUTH WE

COULD GET INTO A DEFORMATION ZONE. IN THAT CASE...RAIN COULD EVEN

CHANGE OVER TO A PERIOD OF SNOW

I'm encouraged that Albany has ZR in the forecast for Williamstown. I thought (and continue to suspect) that I'm too far west for any prolonged freezing. But, Hubb Dave through areas like Templeton-Ashburnham, up toward Nashua should have a fairly decent ice situation. Nothing damaging, but enough to keep things looking pretty and untreated roads dicey--or icey. :)

There's going to be a good amount of ice for all of the interior..You may never get above 32. fyi

06 NAM looking more favorable for SNH/northern MA area for snow about 60 hrs in (18Z Mon). Precip was upped as well.

Agreed. Curious as to what it's doing at the end of it's run--and trying to extrapolate just beyond--with respect to wintry possibilities in northern/western areas. Even if it can't hit the broadside of a barn at that point, perhaps it's at least pointing to a barn.

My initial response is, "Yes, I will", but what time frame are you ending at? Based on your answer to that, I will wager a Diet Coke vs. the beer of your choice at the next GTG. We'll use my station as the goal-post. KMASHELB3
