I came from CAD region in NC and this is probably the most impressive CAD signature I've been part of. A great learning experience.

It gets better than this too. It’s fun when Kevin is basking in partial sunshine and 60F while we rot at 33F and a low overcast until the cold front arrives. Or when Kevin is 40F and rain while it’s 15F with snow and sleet up here. Good times.

I figured sfc temp would be off by 5-7 degrees like it does in western NC, but not this big of a difference. We're running 10-15 degrees colder.

You have to respect that high over QUE and Northern Maine this time of year when there is decent arctic air in Canada, Get a real good cold drain on NNE winds to the south, PQI was -11°F last night.

Wasn’t trying to troll you there. It’s just when you warm sector down there and we’re strong into the CAD it makes for a pretty drastic gradient between the two of us.

This has a really good ageostrophic component with arctic dews up into Maine. So the precip gets up there, wetbulbs down, and that cold just keeps draining on in. When it’s more of an in-situ CAD deal, Dover can struggle holding the cold, but back here to the Lakes Region, North Conway, and Plymouth struggle to have it scoured out.

For the models but a win for climo and local mets. Just looked at the radar and if that second heavy batch that's moving into Western New England comes through and hits all of us who are still snow that would be 6, 8 or even more for totals for many

It's always kind of amusing to see model guidance trying to scour out an arctic dome over snow pack in CNE and Maine when you have a low trying to redevelop....it struggles enough down here in interior SNE, but it's on another level there.

 

It seems this happens every single winter at least 2 or 3 times.

Very interesting note to know going forward.
