NAM seems locked in on sleeting here after about 4-5 hours of snow. Bleh.

These are not the same

The OCMs are getting all cute talking about snow flake criteria. I’ve never seen that in a 5-8” event lol. Wonder why.

They're reaching these days.....anything for ratings

I know…just found it comical.

Ya NAM sucks for SWCT great elsewhere  especially AMATT

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

So many models so much angst. Save yourselves migraines and stress, keep it simple.
 

A plowable warning event. /done

It looks like it really thumps near the taint line though.

Ya should be a fun 2-4 hours .. we will get the heaviest rates but the least duration

NAM has been too warm at the surface lately. It was terrible in the last event and now tries to warm MHT on NE flow. Sell all that.

[codfishsnowman]

Nice Teflon crust for the snow to accumulate on. The amount of ice underneath the snow afterwards is a bit concerning though. Could be tough walking around for a few days.

I’m not seeing how any sleet cuts down on totals significantly. Like the difference between 5” or 6” maybe…

Could that be NE CT to N RI?

Ahhhhh, NO. Using the HRRR from the time stamp he posted that is just downright idiotic. Why you would even waste your time on that...

The way I see it is that just north of dry slot gets an extra 2-3 hours of heavy rates. So dry slot is quick 3-5” then snizzle. Just north pounds til 2-3am

I think south of there. But that just means you’ll have a little longer duration north of the slot.

It's so funny how Kevin averages like 30%+ more snow than me but so often he wants the snow that I get

I see the heavier stuff pushing east before any taint so it’s either sleet or it’s poor snow growth, not big snows.

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Like the heavier echoes are already east so not missing out on much anyway:

Honestly, I don’t want fluff. Nape season is here and I don’t have a lot of woods and shade. Solar  comes and takes it away.

My daughter goes “I hate our yard. It’s the meltiest yard in the neighborhood.” LOL.

Yeah it looks that way to me too. Maybe extreme SW CT in like the Greenwich/Stamford area has some legit taint during the heaviest stuff but I think northeast of there is good with snow during the heavy stuff.

I was just going to say the 3k looks cooler aloft, at least just enough for around here. Higher res might be better at this point for these small temp differences....Hope its right

Some guidance has a nice band continuing north of the dryslot.. like gfs and NAM 12km
