I like that map, my home is in the "up to 18 inches" area!

I live right on the line of the 18", so does that mean I will only get 17":lol::lol:
Seriously, Woof, Woof???

You mean you never heard the expression "Now lets go woof it up" ?meaning lets go have a most excellent time...
I can't say I have.
I like this fellows enthusiasm, though I doubt anyone will see more than 12" out of this storm, though It would be great to be proven wrong.

Powder day for AZ Team at Pat's Peak. Bad for racing, but that only accounts for two runs. Good for all the rest of them.

Jerry, I have heard of "lets go whoop it up." Not to get too anal here, but "whoop" is in the dictionary, defined as you describe. "Woof" is a sound a dog makes.

the odds
I like the probability maps at NWS better than a range statement:
As of 730am sunday EST, at least 4"=high, at least 8"= moderate, at least 12" = slight chance.
I think this is a much better way of setting the expectations properly. With a range of inches, you get the impression the odds are the same through the entire continuum, which of course is not.

NOAA says I can expect 7"-15" from this storm, but that is quite a large spread in snowfall accumulation.

Powder day at Yagoo Valley:lol::lol:
WE CONTINUE TO EXPECT MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION TO BE SNOW.
FROM CLIMATOLOGY...A TRACK OVER THE BENCHMARK SHOULD BRING THE
HEAVIEST SNOW TO NORTHEAST CT-NORTHWEST RI-BOSTON METROWEST AND
METRONORTH.

a watch (means there is a probability) is different from a warning (means it's likely). There is no watch for Burlington. Where are you?
NWS maps suggest that while 6+ is a possibility, its a low probability. Burlington is on the outer limit of that watch.
The way I read, central vt. may see as much as 6 inches tops, but 2-4 is more likely. It's a southern new england storm, tracking from CT and MA then NE to coastal ME. CT, MA and SE NY (i.e. Hunter) stand to be the winners.

that's why I say look at the probabilities. Best way to read a range like this is, 7 is most probable, 15 is a stretch, the actual amount will be somewhere in between, probably on the lower end.

De-hyped things a bit and dropped the 'up to 18"'. Only a single "woof" now too....

NOAA says 3-7" tonight and 4-8" tomorrow for my town with the local weather forecasters calling for a general 8-14" across Northern Connecticut.
