ORH- when this passes through, tailed end looks colder again, any chance that moves in quicker to change back to snow?

No. The dynamics for good precip are long gone by the time the cold funnels back in. At least down at our latitude. Further north they may get a period of snow at the end. 

The bigger concern for S NH this run would be prolonged icing. Prob more than 6-8 hours worth. Luckily it isn't a ton of qpf but it could make things pretty nasty for a while.

I wonder if that trailing sw over the western plains that continues to show up on guidance around hr 66 can help flatten this guy out in the way of destructive interence. I mean the whole evolution per the GFS is odd in that the main system should really be the trailing SW which contains the better UL dynamics. The GFS eventually consolidates things but I doubt that evolution occurs verbatim. I'm beginning to think the southern stream lead disturbance fizzles and this becomes entirely a northern stream event--similar to tomorrow's system (only deeper).

Ignorant post.

Relative to climo in the aggregate the past several seasons, I'm inferior to most of sne east of I 91.

No.   SE MA averages maybe a bit more than half of your climo.  So in good years like 2012-13 they will double,  if you double, it tends to be a blockbuster for all and they will triple.  That doesn't mean they did better than you anymore than when you get 100 and RDU gets 30 RDU had a better year.

He's mostly just grumpy that he got less snowfall than places in SE MA for 3 winters in a row. But whatever. It happens. Nobody who is more than 100 miles west, north, or southwest is going to feel remotely sorry...it's still been a good few years.

Ray did better than SE MA in 13-14. I think he may have been close to me that year...but I thought he was 70+" which would best pretty much all of SE MA.

rays saying relative to climo he got the shaft

I know what he means....but when you take into account the SD of snowfall in SE MA...it's loaded with variance. His is more stable relatively speaking. I mean SE MA could get skunked the next few years too. Nobody remembers how bad far SE MA got porked in 10-11. If you want to talk anomalies...then I would say from MQE-GHG and points in between are definitely taking no prisoners relative to avg. They have been the sweet spot relative to avg. I'm sure it will change.

I feel like the higher your annual average is the more relative shaft you are going to get.  Your chances for higher percentage of normal is much diminished.  

of course, back to this storm, minimal damage up north, more qpf to the pack with sleet and then a solid old school overunning event on tap. nice winter for the big boys

That's why you don't use percentage. Use standard deviation. That normalizes all comparisons. 2 standard deviations for BOS might be 175-200% of climo while it is 150% for Ray. So the percentages won't be accurate in telling the story...it's almost an apples to oranges comparison  

To put it in extreme context, nobody would say ORH got shafted relative to climo if they got 110" (160% of climo) vs DCA getting 40" (260%) of climo. Those are both pretty similar frequency occurances...so they have very similar standard dev values...but if you only went on "percent of climo", you'd be under the impression that DCA had a much better winter than ORH

All based on a SSW that it's too late in season to help winter unless you like Mid Morch snow that melts next day

lol it's been melting the next day since this season began though...so what's the difference this year??

 

But I here you..I'm not banking on that strat warm either.
