"During the overnight hours the early Saturday morning European model came out with a particularly impressive solution with regard to the Manitoba Mauler (MM) weather system which COULD develop into a major East Coast snowstorm ...for someone."

"This model shows a powerful southern stream system that is "is neutrally tilted" over the Mississippi delta... that develops a severe negative tilt on Monday as the coastal Low begins to form. The coastal Low closes off or separate itself from the main Jetstream flow which allows for the surface Low to stall for many hours off the New Jersey Coast. This results in extremely heavy snow and high winds from Boston down to New York City and coastal New Jersey. The European model which producing a wide band of 12 to 18 inches of snow in this area. SEE IMAGE #2 . The European model has significant support from the European ensemble but that doesn't necessarily mean that the European solution is going to be correct . "

Good point! I think he over thinks things and gets very excited well in advance of the play. A little enthusiasm never hurt things this year. Just like Tim Kelly, I like to listen to him, but also recognize he's trying to forecast 7 days ahead. Of course I temper it all with the scientific reality of things. Then again, I like to post what everyone is saying, including CrapUweather and let us all make up our own minds. I don't mind drinking some Kool-aid this year :)

So is it looking like a Monday storm or Monday night into Tuesday storm? Got plans to head to Hunter for a few days on Wednesday. I wish these storms would aim for the mountains, not the coast.

Got the Big Lift Card for Hunter this year so it's only $33 for me to ski midweek and the B&B down the road is super cheap so Hunter is my new playground this year. Hope Catskills get a dumping. It's the least that can happen for the snow messing up the two days I'm supposed to work. Working tomorrow but will be worth it if the Cats gets something out of this.

I purposely work two 15 hour days so I can have the rest of the week free for skiing, hiking, camping, etc..and the weather always hits on those two days! I bought the BLC when my daughter and I went up to Hunter for 2 days skiing the first week in January. It was basically Buy 1-Get 1 free because I got her ticket for $33 too. It's paid for itself. I like Hunter because it's a straight shot up the Thruway and the B&B is 5 minutes away. Plus they have a new BBQ place in town that has delicious food. I also combine some great hiking in too after I'm done skiing going into the weekend.
