I think I'd lop a few off those clowns. There's a couple hours there that look like rain on the soundings and the ptype maps are showing snow/mix.

3-4" not out of the question, I would sell the higher amounts in places that are closer to the coast.

That would be the wise move.  Not buying anything on the clowns.

But at least it isn't 100% rain on the models.  I just want to keep the rain away until around 9PM

ineedclowns keeps posting all of these runs that "look nice" and then I look and they're all meh to me.

If we can hold the BL cold a little longer maybe we can overperform and get into that 4-6" zone, but it's going to start getting worse than 10:1 before the official flip to RA. It's going to be a slopfest by the time I wake up at 5am...not looking forward to it.

My take away is that the large scale set up only allows the colder solutions to verify to some small extent. But perhaps the antecedent air mass and the thick snow cover allows us to maximize the frozen and maybe the rain isn’t as much as feared. If I get four or 5 inches of snow, and then a half an inch of rain, I think that would be a huge victory, particularly since it’s so fast moving, and we cool down after.

Gets a little warm @H95 i see there, But we may hold onto the CAD a bit longer, Looks like today's runs has the CAD a bit further south so it will take a bit longer to scour it out, Don't mind getting a few to sacrifice to the rain that follows, Should hold on to some of it here hopefully but i didn't see as much here as your area did yesterday.

Well, the Pivotal clown does drop 6-7" as snow on the 10:1 for his backyard, but I would sell that

Your area looks good, although I can't see the soundings there (and can barely understand them)

Per Ryan and Scooter doesn’t appear to be a big wind event

I always sell the wind here…unless tropical. 12/18 a few weeks ago wasn’t even all that impressive here(gusty for sure and a couple house rattlers), but nothing all that impressive.  I know other areas had lots of damage with that one, but I’m just saying for my town.  So I’ll sell any damaging winds for now.  If it ends up to be damaging, I’ll gladly say I was wrong.

Yea for some reason non tropical related winds in WCT away from the water fail time and time again. Even the one from pre xmas DIT wacked off to, my gusts maxed out in the mid 40s. The twig and small branch damage was all a nuisance.

Euro soundings for north ORH Co look like snow through 02-03z, maybe 04z on the border. So, maybe 0.3"-0.5" qpf. I'm still on the skeptical side, but its been fairly consistent.

I don't think it will be anywhere near 12/18 but should be a mess for some

I'm seeing pros and cons. So far the magnitude of LLJ is not as high and not as consistent across the model suite. We have CAD in this event that just wasn't present on 12/18. It's a much more inverted sounding, so mixing will be more difficult. 

However, this event has more convection modeled that 12/18, and it could be all it takes to mix out the inversion briefly.

50-60 isn't a huge deal. Typical. The one on 12/18 was 65+ in many areas. That is when there are issues. 

We've also been discussing the impact of where those 50-60 mph winds occur. Relatively speaking we had fewer outages along the coast, where 50-60 mph happens a few times a year. But from I-95 into the mountains the grid was wrecked, because those kinds of wind speeds are not common.

I may be off, but I am pretty sure that one screamer we all had in 96 had a line of convection where all hell broke loose with massive gusts .. despite 1-4 feet OTG prior
