Right now, this thing looks like it will have 2 things to watch for. #1, early in the weekend as "phase 1" of this storm comes through, that's when as of now the temps look the most questionable and also when things will be the most moisture starved. As the weekend goes on, it looks like "phase 2" will have both more cold air and more moisture with which to work with.

Lots of stuff to figure out, but this very well could end up being one of the classical later season events for ski country where the dividing line between all frozen and some mix/liquid sets up somewhere between the Mass Pike and the MA/VT/NH border

Well, if the freeze line is at the MA boarder, I'll be a very happy camper. Because right now, some forecast is still predicting rain for as far north as the North Conway area, which is where I'll be heading for.

I'm going with the recent storm trend of models 5 days out vs. actual reality which of late has been that our air masses across the Northeast have been colder than the models want them to be. My guess as to why we've been "lucking out" temp wise is that the Atlantic is a solid 5 or so degrees colder off Southern New England now than it typically is, so as the storms get closer and start to drag in some air (and moisture) off the Atlantic, the storm system itself isn't getting air as warm as the models are expecting it to be, and as such, the mixing line is staying further South

As of right now, the models are suggesting that the part of the weather event this weekend with the most moisture potential will be late Sunday/Monday.

Heading up to SR for the weekend with some friends...

Here's to hoping it snows!

If not, the beer will still be cold and refreshing.
