A flatlander storm Wednesday?

[abc]

Still 5 days out, but the total kept going up. The least I could do is get the snow tires put on!

Maybe I'll get to cross country ski out my door? Or maybe I NEED my xc skis to get out???

Snow storm coming
2 Nor’easters Likely
Cold Weather Coming

SNOW on Monday
Potential for 1”-4” of snow

SNOW on Wednesday/Thursday
Potential for 6”-12”+ of snow.

We have multiple wintry events for next week on our plate, this morning. Very cold temperatures by the end of the week.

Last week, I mentioned two concerns for this upcoming week and even threw out the dates. With the big signal for Wednesday/Thursday the attention weaned for the potential Monday event.

The Monday event dwindled out to sea to our south but over the past couple of days has trended back north and northwest. Many events that end up in the Atlantic Ocean tend to trend further west within 72 hours of having potential effects on our area. Both the EURO and NAM are now projecting snow on Monday. The other model guidance is also trending in that manner with a coastal low but not yet quite there.

We are expecting an injection of colder air to arrive from Canada. The cold air from a Canadian High pressure to our northwest and eventually to our north and then northeast will deliver this upcoming week. How quick does it get here?

A coastal low travels near the benchmark on Monday with a trailing upper level low traveling almost directly over our area passes during the afternoon. The NAM is few hours quicker than the EURO. The arrival and passing of the ULL will determine how cold our air is on Monday as the injection of cold air arrives. The EURO has temperatures reaching the mid 30s during the event but the NAM actually drops temperatures to below freezing during Monday morning. Below freezing temperatures will cause accumulating snow. Both model guidance is suggesting accumulating snow for Orange County. Anywhere from a trace up to 5” of snowfall. A good call for Monday is to expect 1”-4” of snow accumulation. More likely to the southeast.

Monday, snow arrives between 6 AM and 9 AM for everyone. It may mix with sleet initially. Expect light to moderate snow throughout the day. Dependen

AZ believes ski country begins at the VT/MA border...

I'm usually against flatland storms that just drop 3 or 4 inches. Total PITA on the roads and doesn't improve the ski conditions around here save for the day of the storm and the groom after. But a foot+....let's GO!

Catskill report shows 5 to 8 inches..I'll take it.
