I gotta meet up with you guys one of these days. It should be easier now that we're passed Christmas.

I don't know the exact origin. Usually, favorable storm tracks for us are lows that come through the southern Rockies into the Mississippi valley and then phase with another midwest low off the East coast. Here's what the Albany NWS office is saying:

ON FRIDAY THE NORTHWEST WINDS WILL SLACKEN SOME AS A SURFACE
RIDGE MOVES INTO THE AREA...WHICH IS BEING FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING FROM THE ROCKIES TO THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. IT WILL BE ABOUT FIVE DEGREES COOLER THAN THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE ANOTHER COLD ONE WITH LOWS NEAR ZERO NORTH
TO THE MID TEENS SOUTH. CLOUDS WILL INCREASE FRIDAY NIGHT AS
THE LOW FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MOVES TO THE OHIO VALLEY...
AND MORE SNOW IS POSSIBLE SATURDAY AS THE LOW MOVES TO THE
COAST OFF LONG ISLAND AND THEN MOVES TO THE GULF OF MAINE BY
SUNDAY MORNING.

Taunton is not saying much yet:

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
UPPER TROF AND ASSOCIATED POLAR FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THU AND
MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY A BAND OF SNOW SHOWERS...POSSIBLY A FEW HEAVY
SNOW SHOWERS.

A RETURN TO COLD WEATHER ESPECIALLY FRI WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. DRY WEATHER FOLLOWS FRI.

THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER WINTER STORM SOMETIME OVER THE
WEEKEND. HOWEVER MODEL SPREAD IS LARGE HERE RANGING FROM A CLIPPER
LOW TO POTENTIAL COASTAL STORM.

Neither is Burlington:

THEREAFTER...A BRIEF RESPITE FROM WINTRY PCPN BY FRIDAY AS WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE PUSHES INTO THE REGION WITH VARIABLY CLOUDY SKIES. ADDL
CLIPPER-TYPE ENERGY THEN PUSHES QUICKLY EASTWARD FROM THE GREAT
LAKES/UPPER MIDWEST LATER FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS POLAR JET
DIVES SOUTHEASTWARD. MEDIUM RANGE SOLNS VARY IN THEIR HANDLING OF
THIS FEATURE WHICH IS TO BE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME RANGE...THOUGH
WITH AT LEAST A VAGUE DEGREE OF CONSENSUS...WILL MAINTAIN CHC POPS
FOR ADDL LIGHT SNOWS OVERSPREADING THE AREA BY LATER FRIDAY NIGHT
WEST...AND THE ENTIRE FA BY SAT/SAT NT. BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...MUCH
COLDER AIR LIKELY TO SPILL SOUTHWARD INTO THE REGION WITH SUB-ZERO
READINGS LOOKING LIKE A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY BY NEXT WEEK AS
TELECONNECTIONS SUGGEST PRONOUNCED CROSS-POLAR FLOW DEVELOPMENT.
STAY TUNED.

Burlington is reflecting it twards in their short term forcasts:

Saturday: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 31. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

Saturday Night: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 18. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

Sunday: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 28. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

tcharron · Jan 6, 2009

Looks like the chances for this are petering out.

SKIQUATTRO · Jan 7, 2009

looks like more of a costal event...

GrilledSteezeSandwich · Jan 7, 2009

It looks like snow Saturday..

Warp Daddy · Jan 7, 2009

still snowing here -- just plowed again for 3rd time today

Glenn · Jan 8, 2009

Weather guy said this one has been a real bear to watch. Right now, for CT, looks like 2-4". But he said that could change....more or less; depending on track.

4aprice · Jan 8, 2009

There is some scuttlebutt that this may be a decent storm for the Pocono's, Catskills and Berkshires, not so much for our northern friends. There's still a lot of winter to go so hopefully they will get theirs soon. Then they will have to deal with tourists like me who will come up from the low lands to enjoy.

Yeah, so far looking like an I-90 south special. I'll take another local powder day...

Greg · Jan 8, 2009

Looks like more of a Saturday night/Sunday thing according to the NWS.

Madroch · Jan 8, 2009

That is a pretty big change in timing of storm-- originally saying Sat. am/day, now saying Sun. am/day. Also looking to be a lot closer to the coast as well... let's not get too close to the coast.

First chair Sun?
