For a mean to show that much ice should open eyes. It’s basically showing a damaging event . It probably will change, but that run is grid damage

Not that long ago the eps and gefs means also showed sne and cne buried under many feet of snow by the end of this week…

No, Kevin, the run is showing .6 to .7” accretion and not as much over lower elevations. 

That interpretation just means that there’s some members that have more but that also means there’s are members that have less. But people seem to lean on the idea of some members being more and thinking that it’s some kind of ominous implication, but that’s never been true.

Euro mean also has 30 mph gust..  even if we got a half inch of ice that would cause problems

Expand  

You really need some wind for big ice. Supplies lower dews from the NE to offset latent heating. It's why for big ice events we really need a meso low. In 08, ORH was gusting 20+

I know ha, it’s tough giving observations when the forum is split like this.  But it’s what’s happening.  Aiming for more of an observational approach than a gloat.

It’s all good man, you know we love ya.

No, Actually that was showing that amount at the end of next week..not this week.  

Expand  

It was this week, we will end up getting 8-16” statewide from all the waves. Instead of 12-24”.. still not awful but the low end verified instead of the mean or 75th percentile

I’m kidding. Post away because lord knows we would. Crazy how snowy it’s been in the greens. 

Expand  

Just think of how frequently rainy it is in the warm season, afternoon showers and storms ruining warm season activities… it all comes around eventually.

Just got into the right mid level temps, prevailing westerly flow, with just enough low level moisture aided by the lakes… over a long period of time.

I don’t see my 4” being doubled by the weekend. 

Expand  

We’ve had other storms mixed in, much of SNE has 6-12” since Feb 2nd . Our area 8-10”.. The snowy period on ensembles was Feb 2nd-Feb 17.. we have another 2-4” before Feb 17. Which will bring most of southern New England to 8-16”. Again not what we wanted but not a complete bust.. we hit the 15-20th percentile of what was possible.

I think even 0.5'' - 1'' of QPF as ice in a fast moving, moderate to heavy rain type of system isn't going to do it for Phil. A nice wintry appeal and saggy trees but short of :damage:.

Expand  

If you can get an inch of QPF as ice, that will cause some pretty serious damage. It won’t be 2008, but you can accrete 4 tenths or even half an inch of radial ice. Typically 3/8ths when you really start ramping up the power outages. 
 

I agree half an inch of QPF as ice wouldn’t get it done. That would be under a quarter inch radial and probably keep power issues to a minimum. It’s def better to lean in the conservative direction when QPF isn’t super robust.

If you add in 30+ wind.. you’ll have issues . You recall what we had here very localized 2 Febs ago ..Every yard in my neighborhood lost at least 1 tree or partial trees

Ah, I thought 0.5'' was when the power issues started. Agree that 3/8'' is probably doable in the favored spots if things stay the same as they are now. I just don't see a widespread ice storm warning kinda deal.
