It’s already a glacier. Add 3-6” with sleet on top, a little ZR, some cold rain and a quick refreeze…piles could become pretty impressive despite the fact we haven’t had an event over 6” all season. 

True.  I was referring to here at Pit2.  Our pack here is well in the teens, so whatever comes in tonight/tomorrow will just make it that much more durable.

People losing their mind over a little ZR. This is not an epic ice storm. We get these types of events often. As mentioned by someone earlier, maybe it’s a little higher end for the high terrain of NW CT into W MA. 

It’s not the amount. It’s the 60-70 mph winds Monday with the weight of snow/ ice on trees. It’s always been about that.  That’s why all the focus. It’s real and it may be spectacular.

You will probably have little to nothing in the trees by Monday.

For me it’s not about ice at all, it’s about not wiping my pack out

I mean its not like I know how to look at a model or analyze data. For God sakes I’m not Kevin.

You have like 12-18 otg and about to get at least 6 more. Yet you’re neurotic about  whether the ratios mean 9” or 6”.  Sit back and relax. I wish I had your problem.

Yup usually don't get that afterwards and think there's little melting here..

I’ll go ahead and disagree . I heard that same exact statement from a few posters here 2 years ago . 

The snow won’t be paste. The sleet will reach the ground. You’ll get some zr and get a little saggy through Sun morning, but whether you warm sector briefly or just mix out late afternoon the temp is going to spike and that glaze will soften up and fall to the ground with breezy conditions.

I can also envision a scenario where it stays right in 32-32.8 range and then crashes . That’s what happened two years ago and when the winds hit the following morning all hell broke loose. Maybe you’re right maybe not. We don’t know

I’m pulling for you. I’m not trying to steal the ice from your oaks.

I hope you get an inch of ice and branches rain onto your roof amidst 70mph gusts Monday. <3 LC

I’ll take the under on 50. Maybe a brief 40-45 at most as it mixes and starts drying out.
