1/30-1/31?

Any thoughs on this? NWS has a 50% chance of snow for CT...and a 30-40% for southern VT. I overheard some lady at the bank (who ironically said: "oh, thank goodness that wasn't snow yesterday!" :angry: ) that her husband said we could get 2 feet. "Wut?"

Should I get some extra bread and milk on my way home tonight?

Not much buzz yet from the online weather geeks about this one for New England (they're all lathered up about the storm this Friday/Saturday that will likely stay too far to our South, but get the mid-atlantic region which is where - especially with the accuweather amateur weather geeks - many of them live. Early buzz seems to view that possible one as a fast moving, relatively moisture starved Alberta Clipper

The best things for New England right now, is that a) it seems that the cold air is about to come back for a while later this week b) It seems that the number of storms is on increase and when you get A + B the chances of one hitting (or atleast a few moderate ones catching us) goes up!

 

[Glenn]

Agreed! As long as the weather trends towards more cold temps!!!

I'm excited to ski this weekend. I took last weekend off to deposit some points in the bank with the wife. Now after a couple days of snowmaking to recover from the rain, and then hopefully some moderate snow on Sat, it should be a decent weekend.

There's some hope for the Pocono's and maybe S New England. The good news is that this is still a few days away and the models have been pretty bad at this range so far this winter.

No chance of it moving north, eh?

Not looking good folks...latest from NWS:

WE WILL BE WATCHING SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE FOR SAT...BUT AT THIS TIME
IT APPEARS TRACK WILL BE TOO FAR SOUTH OF NEW ENG TO GET ANY SNOW
INTO REGION. THERE IS MODEL CONSENSUS ON A MORE SOUTHERN TRACK AS
STRONG POLAR VORTEX OVER THE MARITIMES WILL RESULT IN A FLATTER AND
MORE SUPPRESSED SOUTHERN STREAM. WE SCALED BACK THE POPS FOR SAT
BUT STILL KEPT A LOW CHC POP SOUTH OF THE PIKE FOR NOW. GEFS
ENSEMBLE MEAN KEEPS LOW PROB OF LIGHT SNOW NEAR THE COAST BASED ON
25 PERCENT OF THE MEMBERS HAVING MEASURABLE QPF...BUT THIS LOOKS
LIKE A MISS FOR NOW.

Pshaw! This always happens when Ullr and the Voodoo lady go on their Caribbean holiday. I'm a believer in mountain magic, and it does appear to be helping.
Good old font-impaired Roger Hill had this to say:
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Until temp's fall below freezing tonight should not be much accumulation except at the ski resorts.

[/FONT] I'm with JD. Looking forward to Fri-Sat.

 

[Glenn]

Yeah, looks like this may stay out to sea. Bummer. But at least the temps are cold enough to make snow.

 

[JD]

Upped the forcast from "around an inch" to 2-6" for thursday.....

Just heard the Virginia and the Carolinas are going to get hit with some big snow from this storm. Like they need it.....

Snowing here in NJ now. 1/2 inch down already. Expecting it to turn to rain.

NWS BTV has some good news:
