TWC is having a field day with this hype.

Holy crap. I just saw the TWC graphic that AZ posted on Facebook.

A foot of snow in much of MA? Up to 18 inches of snow in some spots? PURE. 100%. FANTASY.

And they know it.

Yup, they love scaring the shit out of the big areas during major travel times. It will be all rain or a minor coastal thing (but then again 2" of snow and people forget how to drive).

The GFS pulls west, also, but not nearly as much and honestly that puts more ski areas in play (The low tracks over Nantucket as opposed Boston). The EURO can be overamped at this time range and its ensembles are leaning towards a GFS solution so I'm expecting the next run to pull back east.

I'm rooting for the GFS as I will be in Central New Hampshire during the storm, and honestly if Jay is your intrest, the GFS has roughly the same amount of snow as the EURO.

Yes, the ensembles are much weaker than the OP. This is kind of a thread the needle system because if the low tracks east, it's too weak to make huge totals, but if its amped up, It'll cut too far inland. We need to strike a perfect balance if we want a totals to exceed a foot anywhere.

If only this was February...:sadwalk:

Miller A? I feel like we haven't had one of those hit us in a while. With not much blocking they are very likely to go out to sea. It would be great to see ski country get some snow though.
