It’s kind of like vacations for a lot of people, half of the excitement is in the lead-up!

ICON is true SLR snow, right? Consistent with Blake in that some snow virtually to the coast.

Don’t know if it’s true SLR but yes, this would be consistent with Blake’s thoughts today.

GFS is coming in a good bit colder.

I’m inclined to go with the Euro’s colder/snowier model given how the GFS has significantly underestimated the temperatures so far as Blake pointed out.

EDIT: Well maybe the Euro and GFS aren’t so far apart after all. ;)

Yes but I would gladly take the 3 inches or so it’s showing. If Euro is handling temps better this model could be on the conservative side.

I would too but that would likely mean more of an ice mess. Hoping we might be able to skirt that if Euro is right.

0Z GFS and ICON both show temperatures hovering at or below freezing along and north of the 59 corridor next Wednesday which leads to another winter storm.I am concerned that the accumulations of ice/snow could keep temps Tuesday around freezing or below, and we end up getting accumulations on top of accumulation from Wednesdays storm.As the accumulation from Mondays storm may not be able to melt, before Wednesdays storm arrives.

I don't think a lot of people are fully prepared for how fast temperatures will drop Monday evening. It's possible we could be sitting in the 20s or even upper 10s by 1-2pm on Monday. Pretty amazing.

I'm guessing to far out for the finer details to know if that would extend to the coast as the monster system on Monday looks like it will
