That's ugly. We usually will warm up in these situations eventually up here (I see most models eventually flip us into the 35F range between 12z and 18z Sunday) quicker than you guys further east...but I've been here long enough to know that here on the east slope of the Spine it won't happen easily...and it may be too little too late.

I get the trolling because a lot of us in this forum are easy targets, but not at the expense of compromising your board reputataton as a pro met....most of us in sne will undoubtedly be left devoid of snowpack, but anyone who thinks that central NH sniffs 50 either printed their met degree off of a computer, or needs to lead the charge to sne climo 101.

Perhaps a combination of the two, who knows...something, though...

Well if the ECM has 50F entering southern NH, and some posts what it shows verbatim I don't see an issue...we all post what models say verbatim but that doesn't mean we think it'll actually happen.

I didn't say that there was an issue with regurgitating raw model output.

"anyone who thinks that central NH sniffs 50"...ie. the statement was theoretical in nature.

Ahhh I figured that was a response to Forky's post. I like hearing what the models have verbatim, but yes probably not getting 50F to NH, though maybe briefly if it mixes out near the FROPA.

I'm at peace with my melting.

Now THAT's locking in your snowpack.

Agreed.

 

I was just generally speaking to the ongoing daalogue regarding how far n the wf penertrates...

What a battle. There is really very little chance that anybody in the GYX gets much above freezing before the front. However, that mid level front could very well be at the international border. The heaviest QPF will be on the cold side of that boundary (as usual), so that could save us from something truly nasty. However, damming can occur up through the atmosphere to 925 or higher sometimes. If that happens the mid level front may struggle to get that far north.

 

This is one of the more difficult phenomenon to forecast, since the conditions needed are so specific.

Would you suggest that everyone in the GYX area begin preparing for possible power outages, downed trees, etc.? I'm not trying to put you on the spot. I just don't want my daughter and her family (including my newest grand daughter) traveling up here from PA on Saturday if this has a possibility of becoming a nightmare with the power and icy roads. I already have her in a holding pattern.

Lol, I'm going N for it.

But to live and be stuck up there is gonna be difficult, W/O power for a Long time (potentially) , maine looks like best chance, we shall see hopefully for many folks the cold layer is deeper and this is sleet

You are willfully driving into a potential ice storm? interesting. Or were these pre-existing plans?

I would really suggest everybody be prepared for that heading into winter. However, it's really too early to pin down those most at risk. It could easily be a 33 rain as well as a half inch of ice.

I do think we get serious ice somewhere in the CWA though.
