There's not really going to be anything interesting for ice though. We're talking about maybe 0.1 or 0.2 inches of accretion above 1kft down here. Meh.

In the 30 years I have lived in New England, there have been a few icing events here and there in CT but the lion's share of them seem to have a tough time occurring down there. Perhaps in the CT R Valley would be an exception. It seems in most cases with CAD related cold air and a rain sounding just above, the llv freezing terminates at the CT/MA border. Interesting.

There have been two icing events here in the last 10 years that both knocked out power for two weeks.

interesting looking 850's saggin into nh/mass border mon early morning thru commute as hvy qpf may be in area. commute around concord nh down to manchester and possibly even salem/nashua look potentially awful. wonder if towns like haverhill can get a snow dump or even down to near andover/lawrence? they will be close

Well, the interior NE Mass area has a better shot than the NW areas.......good luck up that way.

We get a pretty substantial one every other winter or so and have had two major ice storms in the last 10 years. There is some kind of icing event at least twice a winter usually.

Well yeah ... but I'd like to see the hard climo numbers - I bet the frequency is tipped up this way, but who knows... I said it "seems" - so

Awesome for Eric and Jeff. I wonder how long it will take for the 2-3 I get to wash away after the changeover? :)

W MA looks a little warm, but this run blasts the Greens.

Yup--a little too warm. But nice to see something. Of course, keep in mind its source.

Temp and DP pretty darn steady at this point. Hanging at 28/13 still. The p/c has me dropping to to 22* tonight--not sure it's going to happen.
