How bad was the ice up there today. Decent glaze down here just off the valley floor. There was about 2 seconds of IP around 9 AM too.Christmas weekend looking brutal.
That piece of the TPV coming out ahead is def key. Keeps us cold out ahead, if we lose it, it opens up room for it to become a cutterThat was a pretty big change in the gfs across the NE. Hopefully a blip and not a trend. We need it to go the other way for anything to be realistic before Christmas
We all should
IDK. I think I prefer the further west/stronger look.
If it does it to much where there’s less GLs TPV nothings stopping it from becoming an inland runner/cutter. The GFS is a perfect example of that, notice 12z has a nice TPV out ahead, that’s key because it’s the cold source during the storm, without it, we’re working with our prior, marginal airmassIDK.

serious question..why cringe?
This is exactly why I agree with you that the 25th-26th shapes up better for us. While I do think the first system could have some backside snow, simply because of the strength of the airmass coming in from the backside, 2-3 days later there will be a legitimate Arctic airmass in place and blockedIf it does it to much where there’s less GLs TPV nothings stopping it from becoming an inland runner/cutter.

Was the 12z UKMET a cutter? ?If it does it to much where there’s less GLs TPV nothings stopping it from becoming an inland runner/cutter.
