GFS looking juicy...ORH going to get a decent event out of this. Def going to be an area of 4-6''

looks like the GFS wants to pull moisture from a lake effect band that develops and enhances snowfall around here

Probably not the right place for this but high res and now the GFS has the chance of snow showers later this evening in western Mass/CT. HRRR most aggressive.

we had some light snow here a couple hours ago

While I would remain cautious about some of increasing totals in this morning's short range guidance, there is a solid trend towards juicing this system up, as noted by Wiz... Probably going to be a 2-3 hour period of enhanced rates across parts of the region?

Strong isentropic lift and some steep lapse rates aloft so that will help offset the typical srly flow/low qpf results one would expect.  
 

So I guess the question is where roughly in longitude does this occur? Near NJ/NYC or further east?

I think its going to rip pretty good in Worcester County right into northeast CT just west of where you have some initial BL concerns. Sufficient moisture into the DGZ with some pretty steep lapse rates aiding in instability. I would like to see a bit stronger lift on the RH sounding (at least from 12z NAM but we'll see what 12z GFS has) but I feel pretty confident in a 4-6'' zone and I would not be shocked to see a 7'' report in the highest elevations there (Worcester county). I could see 1.5''/hour rates for a good 2-3 hours...could even get drawn out closer to 4 hours.

I think I have a chance for around 2'' or so. I'm a bit nervous in the valley but I think one thing to watch for tomorrow which could help the valley's is how well do we mix through the day. It's going to get very cold tonight and if we struggle mixing tomorrow we may not see the valley warm too much. Even the mix happy GFS at CEF (bufkit) is barely mid 30's for CEF.

Any idea how accurate this map is? If it is legit some areas in northern Mass/S VT/S NH could get 10:1 or better ratios with 6:1 being down near the coast4b1975f6476f122d58ee28c65fe5b1b8.jpg

Away from the coast and under the heaviet precip/lift...snow ratios probably a good 12:1-15:1. Using Cobb method and ORH bufkit from NAM ratio is generally like 13:1 it seems...even as high as 16 or 17:1 under best lift

Ratios likely will be less than 10:1 initially, especially south of ORH. Even Kevin will be slop for a bit. As temps cool to 31-32 near 1K, ratios should be higher as lift goes into the DGZ. Not sure how high as layer near 925 is still mild for a time.

ahhh...

perhaps, would have to get lucky to be impacted by a snow shower since they'll be scattered but certainly could whiten the ground if lucky to get hit

radar looks good hoping it holds as its moves east for you

That's mostly S/SW upslope into the Adirondaks and Southern Greens. Why you are seeing higher totals from most guidance in those areas. We actually do pretty well in this area of SVT on SW winds.

I see now Wiz mentioned that.
