NAM caves!!!!!!!!!!

This was the only holdout.

The only major computer model that showed a "decent snowfall" rather than a "Holy &$@%" snowfall, and it's now on-board with a historic blizzard.

EDIT: Keep in mind, this map defaults at 10:1, this storm would probably be something like 14:1 or more.

I have the classic work catch-22 this week. I have meetings Tues-Thurs that are absolutely critical that I cannot miss, so I can't head north. But at the same time I'm 99% sure that these meetings will get canceled due to the storm. So I'll be sitting around with no work to do and no access to skiing.

To top it off, my XC gear is in NH and we're going to get slammed here in MA.

GAH!!!!!

Skiing Monday and Tuesday in NH but have to work Wed night. I may have to ski Wednesday also and just work tired. January was the one month this winter when I couldn't take time off. I've got a crapload of vacation time, too.

EDIT: Remember, these maps DEFAULT at 10:1, this storm will be 15:1 all day long, so you're talking about THREE FEET of snow in parts of Jersey were this to verify.

Joe Cioffi of WPIX

"Today marks a couple of firsts for me. For one thing, in all my years of forecasting and I go back to the late 1970s, i don't think I have ever seen a model series as impressive as this one. Even in the biggest storms I have never seen 3 ft or more amounts on a map print around New York City and the coast. And a personal first for me when putting together a snow forecast graphic where I used 18 inch plus! But these are interesting times we live in and last night's European model was nothing short of astounding. Today's European run was completely in line with the prior three runs and continues to steadfastly indicate that a snowstorm of record proportions is getting ready to bear down on the northeast."

Cioffi's map. He seems to have the lowest ski country numbers I've seen, so he seems to think this slides east after walloping the I-95 cities.

Anyone concerned about not sharing in the powder due to travel restrictions, don't forget that Black Mountain of Maine is closed all week but re-opens Friday with $15 lift tickets. The new snow'll be sitting there waitin for ya! :)
