Looks like Wachusett as well provided they don't groom everything out...;-)

Guessing conditions will be fine for the ski vacationers. Have seen some chatter about systems later next week but nothing specific yet.

What's going on with the storm next weekend?

I'm hearing that it's going to sock the midwest then occlude and weaken. Then things might get interesting. A coastal low might develop in association with the storm and ride up the coast in a similar fasion to the December storm according to Bernie "Hype" Rayno.

Weather channel seems to be on board. They already named the storm "Winter Storm Q"
Single chair blog seems to be liking the the set up as well

What are the chances of this thing blowing up on the coast?

I'd put pretty low hopes on that storm materializing for the east. Wishing for coastal lows to develop is starting to smack of desperation. Fingers crossed I guess, but this one seems even less likely than some of the ones that did seem plausible and yet didnt pan out.

Increased talk on AmericanWx about Saturday into Sunday. Since I need to fly out for San Francisco on Sunday morning, I'm sure it will materialize.

I think you mean Sunday into Monday? This is the 00z Euro, which displays a pretty good storm for the Catskills and Poconos (though everybody would get something). Still a ways out, but given it's the Euro, you can at least give it some credence.

The 12z Euro should be coming out literally within the next few minutes. Hopefully this storm still pops up on it.

I believe the talk this morning was around a storm starting Saturday p.m.. I could be wrong though.

Edit: anyways, Sunday late works well for me since my flight is at 6:30 am.
