Here's tonight's 00z Euro run

WOW! Thanks Grit! Based on Climatology, this kind of scenario would make sense for this being early December in our neck of the woods. A significant thump of snow and then a  changeover to a FROZEN MESS! GULP...if this were to come to fruition, we would be looking at some SIGNIFICANT power outages. Can this be shared? Thanks again for always providing awesome information!

Sounds like more of an overrunning look? Thanks for all the input Grit! 

Yes, it's very much in the overrunning camp.  Need a strong high to the north to counteract the mid level warming in that scenario

No problem man and yes.

EPS Mean is slightly weaker with the wave and sfc low compared to its last run.  Still plenty of precip, but the overall precip output shifted south with the totals (a good thing in my mind from a temperature standpoint).  Sfc low track is similar and it's a slightly colder at the sfc.  32deg contour on the mean runs roughly from Burlington to Charlotte to Spartanburg as the bulk of the precip rolls thru.  

The GEFS and EPS Means tonight both moved a little south and a little colder thru our forum areas.

Yes... I saw that, but it's still hard to believe, those amounts.

Yeah, that’s a lot of ice. The upstate had a couple barn burners back in the early 2000’s that we haven’t been able to replicate. I was always under the impression that you wanted to be somewhere in the mid to upper 20’s to maximize ice accretion. I guess everything hinges on rates since ZR is a ‘self limiting’ process. I’d take my chances 28

Grit, how does the EPS mean look for Dry Fork, VA?

Trivial at this point grit, but I noticed the Euro Ensembles had much less snow tonight at 0z than at 12z. (The 6"+zone really shrunk a lot) Do you think this is the result of more mixing being shown, lighter precip or a weaker system altogether?

It’s because the wave and sfc low were a little weaker on the mean
