The Lehigh Valley guys is actually predicting 2 to 4 inches of snow at the moment, God only knows the Poconos could use that, even if it's just a few.

Come on Northern VT...we'll be at Smuggs Sat so really hoping for some fresh underfoot---be easier to deal with the cold/wind that is forecasted.

New England guy I follow is starting to get excited now too, he just posted his first snow prediction map.
I'd pay good money to have this map shift 50 miles west!!!!!
But lets hope this one pans out nevertheless, I'd be THRILLED with even 4" at this point, let alone 6".

The 12z GFS came wayyyyy West like the NAM12z.... and has a deeper trough axis than the NAM, but instead has a double low feature offshore, which is most likely incorrect. It has glaring convective feedback issues on this run, so verbatim while it agrees with the NAM as far as totals, 2-4" Lehigh Valley, more South and East... it SHOULD be showing a much bigger coastal storm if it wasn't for the convective feedback issues. If you had big plans on Saturday, make sure they are in pencil...
Translation: It might snow.

Just wish the color bands were reversed...all of that snow on the coast is such a waste.New England guy I follow is starting to get excited now too, he just posted his first snow prediction map.

Could be a good opportunity to hit the mighty Nashoba...

There's hope. For instance, just yesterday that map WAS farther east, and in his opinion
So fingers crossed....
Not going to happen...Not this year... Summer is on its way and wont snow again until next winter...

The Accuweather guys have a similar prediction, but they've not nudged the map as far west as the other guy.... And obviously pushing this thing westward or not is going to be key
And the Pennsy guy who has been the most conservative so far also sees it bumping further interior...

This storm needs a kick in the pants to the west, and we could be into something special.
Weather guy here in CT is calling for 2 to 5 across the state - the 5 being where the picture above shows 6 to 12. And said the further west or north you go, the amounts will be less. Said the "considerable snowfall" will be out over the water. 
VT, NH, and ME forecasts are updated (whew!). Yeah, this storm still looks like a glancing blow. The cold front dropping in from the NW tonight could give northern areas a few inches--then the ocean storm clips southern resorts Saturday (not much) but I could see a Gunstock or a Waterville, possibly Sugarloaf/Sunday River with more favorable slope orientation to get a slight boost Saturday PM. Winds may hold off most of the day to keep the windchill down a bit. THEN, Jay/Smuggs/Stowe and a few other northern resorts picking up some upslope Sunday (mainly PM)....cold though with windchills! Lots going on but I'll update through the weekend. Hope that helps everyone!
