I'm sure Comm Ave has dropped down to 1 lane each side of the park instead of 2. Thankfully I don't have to drive in the city proper. I take 1A from Revere. Will still be a crap commute.

Oh I'll take 14-18 inches in a heartbeat. I like the trend on this storm.

I had to cancel a business drive to Greenwich CT last Tues due to the storm, rescheduled it for Monday. Not sure if we can cancel again. I love snow but the normal 3:45 minute trip will take a lot longer. But if Mass bans all travel again, I won't have a choice! :lol:

Yeah, last week I had a meeting in Chesire, CT on Wednesday. I was planning on heading down the Tuesday night prior, but ended up heading down on Monday because of all the travel bans. I probably would've made it leaving on Wednesday morning, but maybe not. Lucked out with the travel ban being lifted Tuesday night and getting a night skiing powder session in at Powder Ridge.

Thankfully if my flight gets cancelled on Monday, I'm only missing the 1st day of a 3 day seminar. I won't be too heartbroken if that happens.

Alright, the 1st of the 4 majors is out, and in the first such departure in 2 days......one model FINALLY came south. Significantly (probably a good 30 miles I'd guess).

Nammy being Nammy. Wait until the GFS.

Look at that high pressure placement! Oh Boy!

We're <=24 hours though, that's the only time mets really gives the NAM much respect.

Also, earlier today Larry Cosgrove gave an actual meteorological rather than modelological reason for why he believes all 4 models have the storm too far to the north. It's an interesting read, even if he winds up being totally wrong.

"Despite the various computer models either ignoring or downplaying its existence, a huge storm and frontal structure over the High Plains is set to make a mark on sensible weather across the eastern two-thirds of the nation. The equations appear to still be mishandling this broad feature, and may in fact be too far north with the track of the surface low and its upper components. I say this because there is a wide area of Arctic air across the Great Lakes into the Northeast, and the natural tendency for disturbances is to find the path of least resistance. So if you are asking me to agree with the idea that the low pressure at surface will move headlong into a cAk dome covering Quebec and New England, my answer would be no."

Work sucks when it gets in the way of enjoying snow storms and getting out on the slopes!!

This is an interesting system. Most NE storms dip down to grab Gulf moisture or redevelop off the coast. This one seems to be feeding mostly from temperature gradients. Not too many foot+ NE storms take this path.

GFS is out.

Judging from where the screw zone in set-up in PA/NJ, I think this appears to be a bit south of the 12z by 20'ish miles.

DT with an absolutely "go big or go home" final call map.


He posted absolutely no explanation for this, but the only possible logic is that he believes the L will track substantially lower than the models depict and/or there will be a lot of dynamic cooling.

EDIT: He now says he posted the wrong map late last night and that the above is an error. LOL. Couldnt have happened to a more egotistical jerk.

Just seeing this now, the mighty Euro .

The cutoffs in NJ & VT are pretty amazing.

Just got to hold on a little longer.

I hate those highly graduated maps , being color blind I have trouble with shades.
Much prefer the EPWA paint by numbers charts.

Basically: Catskills, western MA, and southern VT = slam dunk. Poconos = hold on baby we're in for a bumpy ride.

HaHa ..... Although as I recall he had his Arse blown up and Someone else (Luke ) got the glory

Another updated map....

Camelback is still straddling that all-snow line like a Lithuanian lap dancer.
