Ski resorts, winter enthusiasts, the layman who likes seeing a white Christmas are all upset. I’m pissed of one of New Hampshires all time snowfalls is going to get washed away 7 days after it happened and every mountain I go to will be an f’ing glacier after whatever’s left refreezes...move to Florida Dr Dews.

Maybe I'm wrong and there will actually be some convection involved here. I think that's really the only way we materialize higher end winds out of this. Even still looking at bufkit (only looked at CT) it still seems to be struggling to really bring down significant gusts. But I mean if there is convection involved...it's going to be quite ugly. I just didn't see much in the way for convection outside of the insane forcing. EDIT: actually 12z was a bit better at BDL in terms of mixing Expand The thing I would be wary of is assuming the modeling (bufkit) is 100% correct in terms of mixing? Plus in these types of only hint of convective elements would be needed to generate big issues; especially for eastern CT... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
