The models seem to be moving towards the idea of an extended snowfall for ski country on Fri. Looks like I can save my vacation day, and go on Sat.

Cripes. I've been ignoring this discussion 'cause I thought it was only an Atlantic states event. I guess I'd better wake up instead of watching all the WC races.

nws has released its snow forecast. Looks like they are favoring the Euro.

This has only been on the radar (no pun intended, though fitting) for about 16'ish hours or so. What happened is there is a second piece of energy moving across Canada that previously was unknown, and apparently some think it could act a bit like a magnet and help suck the left-hook into VT and NH etc... Fingers crossed.

NY too. Conditions this weekend could be stellar across the board.

The 18z NAM just came in (the more important ensembles arent in yet though), and it's colder and snowier. Though it doesnt develop that left-hook, it takes a more traditional path.

Would still be good for everyone, and much better for the Poconos, Cats, MA areas etc....

Realistically this is probably a snow-porn map that will not happen. Seems like the NAM has been overdoing the snow totals all winter.

Anyone want to guess at the moisture content the further inland it goes? I know it's going to be slushballs on the coast, maybe even a mix. But what about inland?

As someone who follows a ton of mets, I can tell you some have essentially "run and hid" and are all of a sudden radio silent the last 16 or 24 hours = cowards. At least make a call you pansy! Or at least inject some humor like Bernie Rayno did today by waving a white towel on your web update.

Are you seeing the snow lasting into Friday? Also, any thoughts on Monday?

This thing is a cut-off low just sitting out there and could carry into Friday a bit but I am leaning towards snowfall diminishing then--most of the effects look to be offshore anyways. Monday looks like some mixed/rain showers with higher snow levels.
