All the models have a storm, the question is the track it takes. This one may wind up being more of a southern deal than a New England thing, but there's still tons of time to watch it. Awfully nice having two storms to monitor though!

So as expected, this is staying south, though the Canadian model (which Bastardi is favoring) has it coming as far north as NJ, s.NY, CT, etc....
On his map color codes he calls them, sleddable, plowable, deplorable.

Sweet more snow for the Catskills and Elk hopefully. How can I afford to keep skiing this April, come on Lottery.

I was thinking the same thing. You guys deserve it. Wild that it's almost March. Imagine if the resorts closed without spring conditions!

Well, Tim Kelly has been spot on this winter. Check out this week's flick

I hope he's wrong about the wind on Saturday, he's obviously looking at the GFS for that, because the UK, Canuck, and Euro dont have it obnoxiously windy this Saturday, but the GFS does.

Unfortunately, he's been right all along. Go back and look at his archives.

More to muddle the waters. This is the NWS forecast. Then again, I've seen this radically change within a day or two.

The NWS is looking at wind too. But not too bad - 20 knots, no gusts. this is for Waitsfield, VT

It's a little worse where I'll be, but again, that's GFS fed, and it's been the most craptastic of the models so far this winter, and given it's the outlier I'm not worried yet. Also, and I could be wrong, but IIRC it seems the GFS has been overstating the wind for a while now. Had me worried a few weeks ago and it turned out to only be about 10 mph.

The 00z NAM is out, and it has caved to the Canadian model by coming north and delivering a nice snowfall to e.AP, NJ, and NYC. Looks like about 10 inches for Jersey, but this model has WAY OVERDONE snowfall totals all winter.
Will be interesting to see what the EU shows in a few hours, as its' kept the precip way to the south in VA/MD, etc....

Boo NAM. Cheers European!
I wonder what the track record been on the Canadian model?

Not good. The wildcard here is that the Canadian government "upgraded" it just last month.
Even though the Euro is now the only model keeping all the precip to the South, you still have to respect it as by far the best model. Hopefully it caves to the others today, I'd like to be able to go snowshoeing at least ONCE this winter. My northwest area of New Jersey has been passed to the north or south by literally every single snowstorm this winter. Most we got in one "storm" was about 3.5 inches, definitely an all-time low in my lifetime.

I hope you get the big dump and the resort areas have the intestinal fortitude to stay open. Hmm. Now where shall I go tomorrow, while all the other AZers are at the Bush???
