We’ve been in about as bad a pattern as possible all November and so the North American temp profile was torched. That’s not something that will happen often where you are, and especially not mid winter.

That was also a ridiculous cutter. It basically stalled up in Ontario. Pretty unique. When you have tropical dewpoints into northern Maine, there’s no escaping those cutters.

Oh definitely...but with a more typical temperature profile across eastern North America I also doubt you see that result either. Either way it was anomalous not something that should happen frequently, especially not deeper into winter.

Parents just had a large tree come down across their driveway so they’re trapped for awhile.

Hope they are all right.  How much snow do you have?  We have none accumulated though about 0.5 miles south and north of us away from the lake they have about 2.5 inches.  Across the lake they have accumulation. The wind has been rocking the house with a current air temp of 33.2 deg.  We are located on the south west end of Webster Lake, NH.

This storm was an embarrassment. To have 2 inches by 145 pm and wind up with 3 inches total is just against all intelligent thought given where this was heading via modeling and forecasts at that point.  We flipped by 1045 in Nashua..ahead of schedule....forecast for 6 plus and looked to be over performer and we just had a combo of shiat lift after 4pm and garbage temps.

Im thinking the last half of this system pretty much just didn’t happen? Certainly happened well shy of those late guidance last night ...they had moderate to heavy snow deep into the evening… interesting.

So we were done here by 4:30 or 5 o’clock this evening and we’ve had nothing but mist flurries and drizzle temperatures rising back to 34 ever since. 
 

I think I am kind of kicking myself for something I noticed yesterday. And it seems to be playing out here until I get a better explanation... 

I would say the last 1/3 of QPF from last night’s NAM over Eastern sections was thru a 320° wind.  I’ve noticed over the years that the NAM tends to hold onto substantial precipitation way too long when wind backs to the northwest around coastal events.  Rad is filled with what looks like probably chaff/virga  now. I’ve seen this before it’s like the models think this is heavy D form banding

Lmao...I got an inch in a couple hrs. Then it turned back to rain.

The thing is it's still happening? The CCB held on pretty well until about now where it's dying down south of ME. The rates/flakes were that crappy? My precip ended by 2pm and I'm not that far from you.

Same time  the snow.... stuck to the radar apparatus and the radar crapped the bed for a while ...it was all down hill for many ..not all  lol.

Yeah it’s like we’re still in the wrapper around the CCB but I think it’s getting eviscerated by downsloping other land source drying when deeper lift passed away ...other mechanics to consider. But in the past these 320 to 350 direction winds here kill CCB wraparound

Any ideas on how Loon/Lincoln is doing? Was thinking of heading tomorrow but only if big totals. 

The poster near 93 in Plymouth at 1100' had a horrible bust so my guess is 25 miles further north at Loon's low base elevation stunk as well.  Up high they probably had a significant gradient.
