Well it went from rain, to mostly rain, to rain/snow mix, to maybe we'll get lucky have almost all snow, so I'd say the trend is positive.

At least for NNE that is, looks like the Poconos are going to take a hit, and I guess the jury is out on the Catskills.

This.

I was hearing about a complete NCP event early this morning and now we are looking at a mix north of Boston. Will be interesting to see if this trend continues.

I will have to drive my backup vehicle the rest of this week (primary will be in the body shop) and the backup vehicle has tires with minimal tread life left...so now would be the time to get frozen precip.

how much qpf are we talking about?
not to be greedy, but if this thing shifts too far SE, those of us concerned about NNE, might be left yearning.

Matty is getting psyched
Tuesday cool front provides just enuf cold air 2 make Thu AM storm interesting. Getting excited for all Northern NewEng"
..
Timmy Kelly sez
"Another clipper system will race across Vermont Monday night with a few more inches of snow from Mount Mansfield to Jay Peak, the snowiest places in New England this winter."
...
The mountains of Vermont have a good chance for a net gain of snow Wednesday/Thursday but much of the region likely sees more rain than snow, at least until Friday.
...
The story does not end there. A Major chill will be trying to advance into New England by Monday January 16th, but we have room for another storm before that happens"

A sight for sore eyes:

Matt Noyes:
Early to make certain calls on Thu storm, esp given northwest trend of projected storm tracks this year, but 6-12" Northern NewEng possible

I'm in good company then.

note-not bad timing either. should be ok to drive up friday night.

FIS Lionel Hutz coming onboard:

So what snowfalls are we looking at? Overall- when all is said and done I think it’s VERY possible somewhere along the Green Spine and ADK will be over a foot with the potential to get into the 18 inch range if that second low tracks a little south right over the spine. Otherwise I think this is a solid 5-10/6-12 type event
across much of the North Country (at elevation). Further south I think southern VT could fall in that 4-8 range. Interestingly a low level moist easterly flow at the outset may spike snowfall rates in the Whites putting MTW in that 6-12 range.
