Hopefully this entire post is sarcasm. Otherwise there will be some anger.

I'm kinda serious I guess....I don't mean damaging ice, not the set up for that....but maybe like 1/4" stuff.  Always gets underplayed. 

And I don't care what people say, it's called using my eyes and personal experiences.  A 10 degree frozen ground is way easier to accumulate on than a 40 degree saturated water mess....laws of thermodynamics. Try it. Take some ice and throw it on a 40 degree soaked carpet.....and a 10 degree carpet....what lasts longer? Now if it starts to pound down....well the game changes.  Ok rant over :-).

Take a look at the airmass coming in for tomorrow and Thursday. Good luck on a skin temp of 40F.

Also, the sun angle is crap this time of year. We're a little over a month from the solstice.

Both 12k and 3k have a nice thump south of pike and then translate north. It even starts the cape as snow it seems.

That H position is in a nice position to provide a northerly drain of cold air into the region as a precursor.  Sure it retreats but the damage is done for most.  Could be a classic SWFE, thump to brief period of rain then shutoff.

Especially in a coastal front area. Not to mention the fact Methuen is a good ride from Wilimington. Ray is two towns from live free or dying.

There were countless storms I experienced a good difference from Ray when I lived in N Andover. That was only probably 7-10 miles.
