if you listen to someone tell you when to drive, and they don't know what they're talking about, you could find yourself in a very dangerous situation. so, ya, its a pretty serious thing to be giving advice on when to drive when you're just looking at models and there's much more to it than that. I hope someone listens to you, drives when you tell them to, and winds up in a ditch.

Well the past three events they have overestimated by about 2.5 times what fell. The past two storms when they predicted 10-14" in my area we didn't get more than 5".

The person asking for advice was thinking of travelling north Thursday afternoon are you saying that telling him to go right ahead would have been a better answer than telling him not to? Please go away.

You seem like a swell guy. I bet you're really fun to ski with, too...

dude i love your maps, and map porn, and it's not your fault people probably take what you say as a legit meteorological interpretation. map porn is great. It's all just snowfall maps though, get into the other dynamics/elements rather than just posting different snowmaps.

Thanks asshole, appreciate it. You bitch about how no one here has the authority to speculate about the weather, yet you haven't posted anything weather-related...heck, ALL your posts only bitch and complain.


Yep, I've got snow tires. So, where were we...snowfall rates, 6am, western CT?

info i saw from State of CT says snow starts around 7 AM in hartford. @ 6 i'd suspect you'll be fine to begin the trek north *

Agreed. I am surprised Scotty hasn't asked you how much for Platty? I would try to spell it out like Scotty but my computer won't let me type like that :dunce:

I miss winnchill I used get great predictions from him. I know it snow enough to make the weekend great in the Catskills that is what matters. What this Platty place lol.

According to several models I've looked through, it appears that the snow gets rolling in the early afternoon Thursday in the Boston area. If you can get out of town by noon Thursday, I think you will get ahead of the worst of it. After that, wait until maybe noontime on Friday.

So what you're telling me is the storm will still be going hard 6-9 AM Friday in Boston? According to what model? I need an idea because it affects my plans... Might have to jump the gun and book a place and leave before school officially cancels.

Take a look at the live radar though and marry it to the maps, snow is breaking out in the southern locations about 2'ish hours or more earlier than expected.

Dunno how that's going to play out up north given the go, crawl, go, crawl nature some mets are expecting, but it's the type thing you'll probably want to monitor if you're planing on leaving early.

According to the radio it's supposed to get started around morning rush hour and really kick in at noon.
