Follow the fronto for snow. Need to pound VVs into the snowgrowth zone to maximize latent cooling...even at higher elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pull the card more for tropical though. A few years ago when I chased Hurricane Laura I woke up one morning and just said “I’m going to Louisiana”. In 2022 though when Buffalo had its all time Christmas blizzard, I stayed home. I probably could’ve tried it but 1) she’s really become part of the Christmas traditions after years of work so I didn’t want to undo that and 2) it was the first Christmas after my dad passed. It was the right call, but part of me hates that I made it lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrrr and nam are maybe more north of lakes region, but somewhere near there will just slam paste. Wish I was over where we go in summer on Moose Pond near Bridgeton.

weatherwiz Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 There is going to be one heck of a narrow fronto band. Someone is going to get smoked. Wouldn't be surprised to see a narrow strip of totals around 12'' from interior Maine southwest into central New Hampshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 1 hour ago, dryslot said: .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Clouds will increase tonight as high pressure exits to the east and a developing area of low pressure moves northeastward over the Ohio River Valley. This low pressure system is progged to arrive over southern New England by Thursday afternoon before it crosses over the Gulf of Maine Thursday night into early Friday morning and then exiting over the Canadian Maritimes. This system will bring impactful rain and snow to the region for the Thanksgiving holiday. Below are the latest forecast details. Timing: Latest hi-res and global ensemble guidance indicates that light snow and rain will begin to overspread the region from west to east during the pre-dawn hours on Thursday. Precipitation rates will begin to increase on Thursday afternoon through the evening hours as FGEN forcing increases along with increasing omega within the DGZ zone. The latest WPC snowband probability tracker (SPT) indicates the potential for snowfall rates of 1-2"/hr across the foothills and lakes region of ME and NH during the afternoon and evening, which will result in rapidly deteriorating travel conditions for the thanksgiving holiday. Snow and coastal rain/snow mix will then begin to end from west to east during the late evening and overnight hours. Precipitation Types: Most locations are likely to begin as a period of light snow early Thursday morning before coastal and southeastern NH locations transition to mainly rain for several hours during the day as h850 temperatures warm above 0C. A mixture of rain and snow is then likely for the interior including the lakes regions for much of the day with light accumulations through the early afternoon. Mostly snow is then likely for the foothills, mountains, and far north. As the low deepens while traveling over the Gulf of Maine Thursday afternoon and evening it will begin to wrap around colder air and this combined with strong dynamic cooling will likely allow for most locations including the coast to transition to at least a mix of rain and snow but in many cases it will likely be primarily snow by late afternoon. This is when travel conditions will begin to quickly deteriorate as increased snowfall rates combined with a lowering sun angle and cooling temperatures allow for rapid accumulations. Amounts and Headlines: The snowfall forecast has increased based on latest forecast guidance. There continues to be uncertainty in exact amounts though due to discrepancies between individual model runs and ensemble suites but generally did bring at least some accumulation to the entire region. More specifically, the current forecast calls for a slushy 1-2" along the coast with 2-4" about 20 miles or so inland. Amounts then increase to 4-8" across the foothills and western NH with localized amounts nearing 10". It is important to keep in mind, however, that these amounts are likely to change some as new information becomes available but despite this impacts are expected to the holiday travel. As a result, in collaboration with neighboring WFOs and the WPC went ahead and issued a Winter Storm Watch where confidence is highest to reach warning level snowfall. Some areas under this watch are a little below warning thresholds currently but given the timing of the system falling on a holiday combined with likely heavy snowbanding, and wet nature that the snow will be, believe a watch was the best route for now. Advisories will likely be needed for much of the interior. Other Impacts: This looks to be mostly a one threat system as winds will largely remain below 25 mph and no coastal flooding is expected. && Love it.

She just told me "I'm Air B&B'ing a condo in Florida in January with my sisters". I told her "Awesome, have a good time, I'll pop in for a long weekend, and oh, yeah, I just booked a week at Steamboat with Bryan." She asked me which boyfriend Brian, or Bryan?, I told her the pilot one, lol. It's just how our relationship has worked over the years. She's always been very close with her sisters, as I am with my friends. The kids are grown/independent (college junior, highschool senior). We've learned things like holidays and Thanksgiving aren't worth fighting over. We used to fight over it, but now that we've been married for 22 years, it's actually much better. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
