Jeff is close to the 7 of 9.7.  Go from there halfway to the 8 in 19.8 and it's close to my place,. just west of the county line and also the north edge of "2nd red" - looks like the 11-12" color.

Tom's in the 12 to 18? Yikes

A bit too far north.  We're a mile or 2 SW from where the county line makes that 90° turn.

I still think as far as Hubby into Barre Ma area will see 1-2 inches on grassy surfaces

Winter Storm Watch issued here. 

That 12z Euro was a pretty substantial upslope event.  Probably 1-2” slop at home and 9” in the parking lot at 1500ft lol.

The more this cuts across down east Maine the more you snow? Has been a change with the cutting up into Eastern Maine. Huge tides this week east side gonna see issues

I may camp out on Tamarack's porch.

Those low positions on that first chart is whats going to be the difference for here from a cold rain to a thump of snow depending where it actually tracks relative to the coast.

Jesus H...the pattern going forward is ripe for something. Deep deep trough in the east.

We don't want to hoard all the late season goods so we're willing to share.

[Baroclinic Zone]

Only 24”+ this far into April.  Otherwise, sell and we Nape.

Yeah we want this to tick anyway possible further NW later in the track.  

I like the chances with the upslope to get low snow levels as the atmosphere is considerably colder on that NW flow with -2C at 925mb.  It looks like a much snowier sounding than the synoptic system here.  

Also diurnal coldest time of day.  Might be able to grab a couple inches at home.

Its to bad the skiers are left to skin up for their turns though..............

many places closed for skining SR Loaf and saddle. I'll go local to Shawnee but could see making the trip to Abram if the low hugs

Too bad this wasn’t even two weeks ago. Climo gets really tough even in ORH after about 4/14-15.

The only two warning criteria events at ORH post 4/15 are 4/28-29/87 (17.0”) and 5/9-10/77 (12.7”). 

4/18/65 got close with 5.5”.

But if there’s a pattern that can do it, it’s this one.

The local garden center is already selling plants, but the NWS is forecasting a freeze here for Saturday night.

The way this winter has gone wouldn’t be surprised if you cash in

Know Nate well. Great album

 

 

Back in the day (early 1970s), there was rock that sounded a whole lot more country that what passes for country these days . . . Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris . . .

We could be setting the stage for a MAJOR severe wx setup in May again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
