Week of February 2nd, storm speculation

[fbrissette]

... expect folks to increase snow totals this morning (if they havent already)

You called it OK. Amounts went up quite nicely in northern Vermont.

I hope this thing doesnt keep moving north, I was perfectly happy with the Catskills bullseye, but if this keeps up the way it is the bullseye will be north of that.

I think the North trend has stopped. Fox Boston has the low running out to sea after hitting the Penn/NY border. Don't know if that will happen. I think all of the models are coming into agreement on more north than earlier thought, but have stopped moving it north now.

You can just tell by looking at it on radar. Thing's massively larger than what the models said would be = larger precipitation shield. I just hope the north trend stops or Catskills will be more like 8" than 14".

Also, many of us now have to worry about a fairly major ice storm.

Sorry, rooting against you. Want a good dump up in Maine to open up the glades!

I expect to see some sweet videos from Magic!

Magic is right in the bullseye there. Looks like a great place to be.

This is projected snowfall rates in inches/hour via the RAP (a model you only look at when crap's basically about to be on top of you). Cats/Berks is mayhem.

I'm so excited I'm about to start drinking...

Hmmm. Trying to decide on where to ski tomorrow. I'm staying a couple of miles from Attitash but Cannon is tempting.

I'm trying to convince Whaleback to open early tomorrow.

Paper towel tubes and duct tape work in a pinch!

And boom goes the dynamite! Incredible snow growth in ski country too. These flakes will be massive up north.

Storm Saturday and Sunday too!

Second that - I heard it was ticking south again.

Not sure how talented this guy is, he's a hobbyist rather than a pro, but he is knowledgeable.

He updated his map to include northern NE based on the larger storm.

Nope, north if anything.

Look at those squall lines ramming into the circulation down by the gulf coast. The sheer power of this storm right now far exceeds the depiction made by the models. Not sure how this translates to the coastal low, but I'll assume it means good things for us.
