Euro has highs in the mid 20s here Wed with gust to 40 + ..not a day for short  pants .. that's vodka cold wind chill stuff for early Dec man. For the clipper it looks like 850s around -10c at onset of precip and 23 degrees . Man ....if someone could manage .10 " qpf ...that be 2 inches possibly of cold smoke. We all would take.

Gfs gives us some love Thursday am in the form of a tenth

My triple pane with krypton is ready.

Here's the P&C for this week for our house in McHenry in Garrett County.  I'm heading up there this weekend (too bad not tonight!).  Wisp opens this weekend, too...should be a great opening weekend for them.

Tuesday
Snow showers. Temperature falling to around 15 by 5pm. Wind chill values as low as -3. Breezy, with a west wind 18 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.
Tuesday Night
Snow showers, mainly before 1am. Low around 7. Wind chill values as low as -13. Breezy, with a west wind 20 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.
Wednesday
Snow showers likely, mainly before 9am. Partly sunny, with a high near 17. Wind chill values as low as -13. Breezy, with a west wind 18 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Somewhat related, the VT Meteorology Program has been installing a number of high altitude weather stations in the area over the last few years. According to their Facebook page, they installed one on Spruce Knob, WV at 4682’ about a week ago. Should be fun to follow over the next couple of days.

Seems like the trend today is to have a more vigorous clipper than previously modeled...00z NAM continued that theme.  Just need to pull this this south and we could have a decent event on our hands.  Before today, this system was moisture starved and weak at best. 

Saw that too. Ratios should be great too. Even 0.1" of precip would guarantee WWAs.

Euro track was decent...and nams strength ...put them together and maybe 1-3" of pure fluff. 

Probably even more than 1-3". We saw how good ratios were with this past storm. Temps would be in the Low 20s, so raitos would be 1:15+. I assume if this were to happen, the NW burbs would cash in pretty well too, with someone getting 6" of snow

Yep...Us western zone folk are getting itchy after watching the last one scoot east.  1-3" of cold fluff would soothe the soul!

All about thermals up top and better ascent in tandem to generate prime flake structure to maximize accumulation. It’s close to something noteworthy for us, but my guess is the northern tier crew have a better shot at getting accumulations close to 1”. A bit further souther with the Vort pass and we’ll get better forcing and increase our chances at something more than just a T.

The thing I like about this clipper is there's a distinct circulation. Need the center to pass south of course but this shouldn't be just enhanced flurries like many others. Could be a decent stripe somewhere and won't know exactly where until pretty short leads. Even if the gfs and euro suck at 0z and again 12z tomorrow, we're still in the game if the potency holds. These kinds of events can surprise at even 12hr leads. Can't write it off until Wed at the earliest. 

The late week deal can do all sorts of things still as well. Another setup where people who jump to conclusions outside of 48 might eat words. Active northern stream periods like this are fun because you can't sleep on any of the vorts that pass under us  even when the ops aren't showing much.

In that sense, it's like '13-'14 all over again.  Time and again, 36-48 hours was the period when things came into focus.
