Smoking some Siberian White fatties while rain comes down.

Snowfall amounts have been
increased a bit since the overnight forecast package, especially for
the more southern and eastern areas where snow on the back end of
the system is looking more robust. Though temperatures will be
dropping into the 33-34F range in eastern MA initially, guidance
indicates the chance for some more moderate to heavy snowfall
potential with rates of 0.5-0.75"/hour possible which would help to
dynamically cool the column and allow for accumulation. Generally
thinking 5 to 9 inches in the northern Berkshires and northern
Worcester Hills with 2-4 inches in northern CT through northern RI
and northeast MA, and a few inches for southeast MA. However, we
can`t rule out some isolated higher amounts; the HREFv3 indicates
decent potential for banded snowfall which if it sets up could cause
a localized bullseye. Snow tapers off from west to east from 5-9 pm.

The Valley is not the place to be in the winter lol

The GFS would be a win IMO. Crushed up in Maine.

Mud sharks. Congrats man enjoy the foot

[tavwtby]

 I'm getting a feeling we may be a bit surprised tomorrow in SNE, getting the feeling we may be a little surprised tomorrow after, wish the temps weren't so marginal up to 850,

It's about perfect with what I put in.  I had 5-7" in the max axis .. but a couple of 9er's here or there is certainly within error.

That’s a huge banding sig .. but the question is.. is it real . Many winters it would be.. this winter probably not

Nice. I've got 2 racks of baby back ribs, coming off in about an hour or so.

I read the discussion that said all of Northern Connecticut will be in for the two to four inches tomorrow. And it does have litchfield county which is west of me?

yeah I'm skeptical, but nearly all modeling is showing some burst banding as this wraps up and is departing, I do hate to hang on to wrap around, but I'll take what I can get while I'm back this week, Wed looks like it's slipping away too so this may be the best chance for a while,who knows this winter like you said

[tavwtby]

some antecedent cold would be awesome this winter when we have a s/w approaching... just saying

[Typhoon Tip]

18z NAM was colder ...sure that's been covered -

Wednesday is like 1-3” of snow to heavy rain . One of those 80’s deals. Looks exactly like a normal 80’s event. With decent cold behind it

The one in Athol is pretty nice. There is also a 110 Grille there which is sweet

If they could they’d probably do an advisory for you and nothing for me. Just have to get the CCB going good tomorrow. At least we get the rain out of the way first.
