With all 3 of the major models showing a rather large snowstorm in the 4th/5th timeframe, it's looking pretty solid that someone's going to get pounded with this thing.

If it was only one or two models six days out, I wouldnt feel as good, but with all three showing a big one it's going to be game-on somewhere in the northeast. Warm air could be a problem for the Poconos and/or the Catskills though, but above that it looks like rain/sleet shouldnt be an issue. This will be fun to watch.

I was thinking of doing a Catskills overnighter in mid February but if New England gets pounded in the next few weeks I
be willing to drive. :snow:

Put the snow in the mountains, not the beach!

Maine certainly needs it. I'm sure Sugarloaf isn't much better than where I live but we had 7 inches of snow all of January with no more than 2 at a shot. At least one of those was so windy I doubt it stuck around too long. Hopefully the last half of the season makes up for it.

Yes why does that heavy snow band stop just around southern NH ??

Because it stops at Day 7. The weather is tracking to the northeast. The area to the east of "that line" will not experience the leading edge of the weather until Day 8. The charts over the next two days will tell. Forecasts out 7 days are a crapshoot anyways.

Matt Noyes just posted a pic of the Euro 240 hr snowfall accumulation and it has all New England in the 24" range. Yes please!

Sunday's storm is really looking like it is going to cut west. Meaning mixed precip for a lot of us :( . After all this deep freeze we get a shit storm. Figures. It shouldn't get cold enough to melt anything, but it should pack in some of the fluff out there and prepare us for whatever is coming Wednesday. Although that Wednesday storm will probably miss the NEK :roll: (still only 3.5" at my stake).

He's really sticking his neck out. Could be a career-limiting-move if he's wrong. Guess I'd better make lodging reservations now!

He's not stating that we're getting that. Just says the atmosphere is moisture loading right now and we could get some decent storms because of it.

Yeah. The euro has not been very good this year. I think caution should taken on a snow forecast in that range.
