Do you think the NAM could cool enough to increase the snow across SNH?

I supposed it’s possible. But these tend to have pesky warm layers aloft that prolong the sleet. If you get another tick colder on the 00z run then the snow would be looking a lot better in SNH.

With a SWFE Up here it’s a battle to hold off the warmth, and usually we can get a good dumping before we go to drizzle and sleet. That is I suppose easier to predict in some ways. When we’re waiting for the cold air to come in it feels more like a crapshoot.

Agreed. When there's already cold air in place it seems like you can bank on 4-6 or 6-8 around here before it goes to drizzle. The ones that tend to be negative busts are situations where we're waiting for the cold air to arrive before the steady precip leaves. And of course it doesn't help that you're starting with relatively warm, wet surfaces - so sometimes it can take a little while before snow really starts to accumulate after changeover unless it's one of those rare flash-freeze scenarios.

Nam and HRRR

Yeah maybe a little bit. They are all kind of within an hour or two of each other with the changeover. The bigger difference is what happens before that. Both the NAM and HRRR are a lot uglier with high dews and temps than the GFS.

Yeah we’re waiting on the midlevels. The NAM sucks for us and the gfs trended worse. We’re really close though (especially me) so I’m not giving up yet.

At least the sleet is a pack insurance program. We should least get a few inches of snow on top of that and then we wait for what could be a good two or three weeks

Well I have learned that the NAM is often very good with the warm tongue.  So I hope it's coming in a little warmer than reality.  But it seems to me that some of us are on the line for a bunch of sleet and a few inches of snow vs. some sleet and 8-10 inches of snow.  And that line probably runs very close to KCON.

Aren't we just lucky! Nooot!!Time for the crampons
