If Tim Kelly is right, there are going to be a lot of sick days next week!

I'm guessing he's a Euro fan, because that model is displaying dirty snow porn for the next 7+ days.

Personally I view a map like this about the same as I view Kate Upton.

Nice to look at, but I know I have no chance of it happening.

Well, the Euro does have a much better track record this year than the GFS.

That's next week. What about tomorrow?

Or is that a way of dealing with the bad news by look past it to next week instead? ;-)

The interesting question is 'if given the choice between this map or Kate Upton' which would you take ?

Latest on David Epstien's blog on boston.com, but I think these will be all over the place over the next few days:

Well weather people on here are saying Platty should get all snow this weekend, and you can get price chopper tickets for 30$ for Platty good to end of March, any time and 3 other hills, I put in the steep and cheap thread fyi. Pretty sure I be at platty the whole weekend.

I'm a skier, but I'm a heterosexual skier.

I'm guessing that map is a bit stale? Some of those totals seem way too high given the storm's eastern movement.

And now Platty is saying it too, Scotty. I just got this email:

With this system, any map that's more than a few hours old is stale...:roll:

I'm still having my parade, even if you're raining on it! :razz:

You were saying?

Hopefully the snow starts to fall soon, because any more map updates on this thing and nobody will be getting much snow. lol. The trend is NOT our friend with this thing. Hopefully this produces more at elevation for everyone than the map shows.

 

[hammer]

I don't like the trends but I'd have to admit the initial forecasts of a dumping of heavy wet snow in the flatlands wasn't exactly what I had in mind either...

Looking forward to next week.

You could always go to Hawaii.

One more questions for Mr Winn Chill, do you think driving my non snow tires car( car hates snow) from mid Hudson Valley NY Middletown Sunday morning on I 84 20 miles east and then 60 miles North on I 87 to Kingston, then going west again for 50 miles or so. Or am I better off going west on 17 towards Bingham NY, which way you think might be less snow. I would check on your great forecast site for ski hills snowforecast.com. but that only gives me great prediction for snow in the great fun hills.

I don't know the roads there so I really couldn't tell you. Sorry man.

Again, I'll go with all snow, little to no sleet. NOAA can eat my ass too.
