I'm  sure parts of New England will go under a freezing rain advisory but what are the chances of putting out an Ice Storm Warning?   That calls for .5" of ice or more.  Looking at the models that does look possible for parts of Central NE.  Thoughts?

There is no more ice storm watch, just right into ice storm warning. I don't think there are any other advisories tied into solely freezing rain (though winter weather advisory could cover minor glazing).

OH I've completely prepped myself mentally for tomorrow's barrel bottom abysmality - and kudos to the modeling tech ambit, which overall ... hasn't given anyone much reason to delude themselves for days of persistence with this set up.

So much so in fact my attitude's turned to embrace it.  Great weather nerding opportunity!  There's going to be some pretty fantastic meteorological aspects of this weekend's affairs, both in the larger synoptic specter, but also what's likely going to be observed at the discrete scales.  I mean, it is not inconceivable that the lowest 100 mb of the atmosphere is if anything cold enough along Rt 2 for icing, while NYC is nearing 80 F.

This somewhat reminds me of the extraordinary differentials that occurred in late March, 1998.   Unlike this time, that one was a real backdoor front. 

This, btw, is not that.   The front is in fact laying down across pretty much my house, during today.  It just doesn't ever go back N as a warm front in the present guidance mean.  "back dooring,", in the sense of the verb, is more for whence the front then bends around and starts collapsing SW through CT during tomorrow - where ever that happens, they could doing a 70 to 38 F hour.  Or, it's possible that the whole thing is back built more than guidance by 12z.    Some runs, like the ICON...are south of NYC  - that's not exactly climo unfriendly in late march with a +PP toting polar air off a Canadian snow shield.   It's a nerd's extravaganza of testable aspect tomorrow.  LOL

I figure in the end, who cares.  One fuckin' weekend ain't hurtin' much.  Let it ice and sleet itself to a bullshit hide the season on March 29th all it wants ... Summer is still coming.

Yup, what he said-

Except my county (Grafton) in NH.  Just a winter weather advisory here.  Personally, I would have included it.  It seems Gray goes conservative much of the time

It’s probably because the WSW is more for freezing rain and they feel that criteria will be met further south of you.

I'll be pushing 80 down here 10 miles WNW of Manhattan, meanwhile Stowe gets 6-8"+

Can't recall ever seeing that

Yeah…not enough frozen to trigger a WSW up there and not enough ZR either. The high terrain further south is where they’re expecting the outages…E Sullivan/Cheshire and W Merrimack/Hillsborough.

Yeah,  I get that.  I think the black asphalt roads will be okay except places like your hill facing north.  It will be an interesting weather day for sure!
