Weather sites are backing down estimates, but those maps look promising.

I like the maps.

Yay maps.

Go maps.

If this mornings GFS works out it will be the knockout punch for this year. Another 2 day rain event during a money maker week. Shows a weaker version of last weeks monsoon. It went from being in the gulf of Maine to western NY in 6 hours so it is obviously as confused as I am about this winter! Canadian is better but could come a little closer to the cape.

I'm officially just shutting down my ski brain after this weekend and getting excited for Cancun 3/12/16.

LOL @ GFS going from a coastal snowstorm to a savage deep inland cutter in 6 hours (really). That model is absolute trash. Last night's Canuck looks great for Cats, n.VT, and ADK though.

Ah, look, you guys are speaking a different language to me.

Am I getting this right?;

- After VT got wrecked and we cancelled our trip north, there was a glimmer of hope for net weekend in the form of a storm next weds>thru that at one time looked like a nice 12"er.
- This storm is now being called rain by someone named 'GFS'.
- Some people think 'GFS' is stupid and should be kicked in the balls.
- These people like someone else named 'Euro' who still thinks it will snow next week.

Is that where we stand?

12z GFS getting a clue maybe. Weaker low pressure travels over the cape brings a moderate snowfall to ski country. Let's see what the euro does.

Congress please ban GFS.

Don't just take my word for it, NYC meteorologist Joe Cioffi posted this a few hours ago.

GFS MODEL JUST UTTERLY AWFUL

If you wonder why it is so hard to nail a forecast down in the long range, the last 3 runs of the GFS show why in this case (and so many others) the model is utterly useless!

He sounds angry.
