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.

No way this happens. Large swath of 14-18? 4-6 on the cape!? Gimme a break.

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.

Thanks for the help

Here's a pro met who is out of consensus and is dialing WAY back on the snowfall totals.

He's either going to look bad, or look like a genius.

Whaleback. ALWAYS on the 3-6 /8-12 line and gets fucked every time. Sorry for my language, but I swear to God this line happens every storm. Every. Single. One.

I move to mass this summer. You watch. The poundings will stop and move north.

Looks to me like he just dropped the northern areas down a bit. 8-12 is consistent with most forecasts for MA, central NH, and southern VT and NH.

These are amateur mets and/or hobbyists. The NWS has actually raised totals in their last update.

Depends where. For where I am in NJ they've lowered snow totals on the belief the storm is coming in warmer.

That said, this storm has been handled terribly by the long-range models, and the short-term models are a bit colder.

At this point, if the Catskills get 10" and I dont get a massive ice storm with loss of power for 3 days, I'll be happy.
