GFS backed off quite a bit from what it had been showing,here as well as the MA. I think you're pretty spot in with that call up high in favored Locations.

I'd love a blizzard, but I'd be very happy with 6 hours tomorrow evening of below freezing temps, moderate snow, and lots of wind. If I end up with six or more inches of snow, I'd be thrilled.

Gonna be about 6am Eastern Standard Time. It's gonna form more souther!

That was the early March 2001 one where there were TWC maps with 3 ft in these parts, right? That was astounding and might as well have said 8 ft. How close to the expected start time did it become apparent that it would not be happening? Also, wasn't that another case where it was on the radar a week or six days out, then the models lost it, then it was back on the radar 4 days out but in a somewhat different form? Lastly, that was 25 years ago next week. Good God.

No, I just looked it up. It's not a euphemism, it's a phased approach. There's still a SOE.

I hope the old school MoCo/HoCo band sets up and dumps white asteroids for hours hahaha. Unfortunately I've had to root against this one down here and was never in the game anyway so it was easy. The 3 week glacier really set me back with property development work and I'm behind schedule. Picked up 2 nice excavator jobs for the second half of March so I'm seven days a week on our land until then. Had a real good winter down here this year. I gotta root for warm and dry from here on out so I'll only jump back into wx disco if I'm in legit crosshairs for a late season event. Always pulling for my northern friends. Enjoy the storm!

Never-and states have declared "state of emergency" plenty before things start for many years now.

Comment all you want at each of the BS model issues , debbbie downers and upbeat amounts posting. Have fun. This old timer only looks at one one model right now ---the NAM and I am also someone convinced of the HRRR lately at this range. - all the rest are garbage for this type of storm event. I have seen and experienced all of the biggies from 1983, 2010, 2021 etc. At this range it is usually the NAM. While it appears a little on the high side right now at these OZ runs tonight, its going to be close depending who gets the deformation bands. These bands tend to fire up along the S Mtn range too so watch out - there will be screw zones. This map seems very plausible to me after doing this for 35+years Where is the thundersnow guys? This will be a defintley in the cards too. Sleet may cut the totals along the coast in the heavier bands

Correct

36/30

NAM has had that band locked since 12z while the GFS is ticking se and EURO is waffling. I am inclined to go NAM on that...especially since they often end up NW of where we think they will.

Ok I've caught up on the banter thread after work but I do have a question. When we go to "storm mode" will all the Deb stuff that's so rampant tonight in the main thread have to be confined to banter?

I'm pretty much at the saturation point of model watching. I'm going to try my best to stay off the forums tomorrow and just enjoy what I'm hoping is an entertaining storm. My goal is beating Januarys 16+ anything less than 12 now I think I'd be a little bummed. Good luck to all.

Hallucinating on pressure change maps is peak PHL-BOS HECS behavior on this board

Trixie, come on now. How many times in the past have we seen a state of emergency be declared hours if not a day before a major weather event? Don't be obtuse.

There is a bit of an east shift in all the global guidance so far tonight. Not sure it’s really the time to be looking at global models but I feel like it can’t be completely ignored.

I drove through from Bethel to Holton and back this week and was surprised about the relatively low snow pack in a lot of the state. Trail crossings were beat in a lot of places. I didn’t ride in Maine but just across the border in NB, the trails east of the St. John’s valley were in nice shape but the locals were saying it was somewhat low compared to normal. The trails along the river were pretty thin.

I'm riding the NAM at this point. Model is good at this range. 33.6/29.2 I don't know what to say other than I've felt this storm for over a week now and everything that's happened this week has led me to believe this is going to be a big thing. Rest up because tomorrow we celebrate.

Let me say that this Cory fellow has a heck of a track record. When do we set up a gofundme to send him out of town the days before Christmas next year? We'll get the Grinch to jump over the BM with that!

Also, they have ARW, HRRR, RAP, and other mesos.

It's just another stupid thing someone made up bc "emergency" is too harsh in 2026 in our western culture.

BGR and BTV might be the only commercial fields in New England to see flights on Monday.

the storm hasn't started yet?
