The Saint Lawrence Valley track is an almost climo favored spot with the mean trough so far west.

Maybe someone else can chime in but ART isn't all that uncommon in our torch/cutters. Much more likely than like over the Adirondacks or Greens. It's usually ART or BTV and then east of there it's more like VSF.

actually GGEM is an ice storm for NNE

Thing is ...this is an arctic and/or polar stream short wave. It's not gonna be pushing particularly mild air ahead of it. There probably wont even be much qpf in the warmer sector initially. The only place that could theoretically torch badly as in >50 would be southern and eastern NE where the warm air can be brought up last minute (and briefly) from the Atlantic. So no doubt interior locales and much of NNE would be in more of an ice situation...assuming the ECM type track.

I have been thinking ice for a while as you know, I agree with your line of thought here, that and the Euros want to overamplify troughs, battle royale

I haven't been paying a lot of attention to this thread, Steve.  Were you thinking ice earlier wrt to SNE?  I assume that ship has sailed if you were since you're now speaking NNE.

Alright ... now that I have had some chance to look at everything, the signal is still there; it just may not be the type of drama people want.  

 

Folks here are clearly pre-concerned with snow, ice, and cold.   However, considering where we will be in hollows of Friday night (temperature), and again next Tuesday night, to slip a warm rainy scenario in between is pretty damn dramatic.  Particularly when considering that this is synoptic scaled mass-field flip overs.  

 

It's still not entirely etched in stone but I would side with wetter solutions, however, limit the amount of actual warming due to the speed of system translation.  It's just not going to be around that long... This one may move by even faster than the last rain ball did.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AFTER WAKING UP TO SOME OF THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES IN THREE YEARS
SATURDAY MORNING...WITH TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW ZERO AND A FRESH
SNOWPACK IN MANY AREAS...READINGS WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO MODERATE.
IN FACT...WARM AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY...SETTING THE STAGE FOR POSSIBLY A MIXED PRECIPITATION
EVENT SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. CONFIDENCE LEVELS ARE LOW AS
MODELS HAVE FLIP FLOPPED BACK AND FORTH WITH THE TRACK OF THIS
SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME...PREFER THE COOLER...MORE EASTERLY TRACK OF
THE GFS CONSIDERING HOW MUCH COLD AIR REMAINS IN THE REGION
AT THE MOMENT. THE 12Z EURO AND CANADIAN STILL APPEARS TO BE TOO
FAR WEST WITH THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM.

COLD AIR ADVECTION BEGINS AGAIN BY MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH ANOTHER
ARCTIC SURGE ON THE WAY FOR OUR REGION.

 

 

Never mind, it seems just the graphical and text forecasts call for snow, the AFD says 'mix' and possibly hasn't updated to the most recent GFS runs?

Yup. Torch Monday, but impressive cold following it.

 

That is quite the shot of cool air behind it.

 

BOX continues to hit mixed precip for quite a while out here with the event.  I'm thinking that'll shift to more liquid as we go along, but I hold out hope that we mighit be able to get a changeover with an inch or two on the back end.  We know how that usuallys goes, but the track and qpf may be more conducive for that out here than is typically the case.

Cutters gon cut.  Hopefully, some mix as on the front-end as the cold gets scoured out and a flip to snow on the backend.

 

Asking a little much, but that's about the best we can hope for methinks.

Still think the Euro is probably too far west and too aggressive with the warmth. I mean it's got low 60's with dews near 60 in Se New Eng.. Hopefully it's wrong
