Even though the low levels get mild in SE areas, it's quite cold aloft. There is not taint in the 850 level so it's going to be a very bursty kind of snow..even if the lower 500-1000ft get near and above 32.

yea 534 heights, one of those deals where the progged LLs get washed out quick with precip

Looks like yesterday's NAM had correct idea with teens inland near 32 on the coast..Big time convergence signal..Gonna be some bigtime banding and fluff factor. Gonna be some surprises I think

...Hype train is boarding and will be leaving shortly after the afternoon data is out.

There always are but before every event so far this season you've alluded to surprises in a favorable way or a positive bust, lol. Hopefully no negative surprises.

Someone once told me that salt water doesn't accumulate snow very efficiently though. Probably a little lower ratios out that way in the water.

Low sun angle this time of year will help. Below a certain temp the salt treatment they put out there does not matter much

I like where I am sitting here on the midcoast. Subject to change, of course.

 

Yup--this would be a good day to be in my old stomping grounds.  Congrats.

Some fish off the coast of Maine might be in for a good surprise

 

LOL.

 

Pleasantly suprised to see the GFS put me in the .25" and NAM close to that.  I imagine the ratios won't suck.

ha just saw the 12z RPM what a joke.. 1-2" tomorrow morning for everyone then 4-8" tomorrow night from nyc to maine

So the idea of weak 1'st wave dropping light snows during day, then a sharpening second wave sort of taking over during eve and nite is crazy. I guess the 4-8 so far back to nyc /sw ct maybe the joke part ? But i mean with this *potential, we may expect to see some bullish solutions (i thought)

Or when you get a few inches of snow and wake up to bare ground, temps in the 50's and roaring sou easterlies. That's a negative one

1-2 final call here. Was looking pretty promising yesterday. Looks like north and east is the place to be

Seems u adopted the PF mantra of goin low to a fault to avoid busting on high side . (Hey pf,lol)

I would say you are Far East enuf to have at least a decent shot at 3 or 4. I see this morphing into more of an evening deal .

If this bombs out early, then I think I'm in a real good location. But right now, looks like I'm gunna miss the potential good stuff.

And yeah, keep expectations low and be pleasantly surprised.

My weenie has deflated on this one. Just a feeling that for my hood we may see an intense band of mush move through and then get ray slotted on any follow up.

1-2 with the hope that models are still pulling the a/b and may lean towards a brief capture in later runs far enough south to make a difference. Capture = brief slow down as the low waits for the trailing energy

Ukie looks like a nice hit for ern areas. Can't see 6 hr QPF though. It does seem like this slows down a bit as the second s/w trends stronger...but not sure it's in time.

 

How has verification been on the Ukie these last few events? I know it always gets mentioned
