Sweet, lets bury Jordan's box on Belicheck's beach side bungalow in ACK, and keep bare ground in Methuen. -

Hopefully it's a higher upside deal like PD II, and not some lame, Jan-Feb 2014 rendition. -

It started in 2018.....before that, it was two decades of blizzards and marquee FA signings being dished out like Halloween candy...now, every vort either cuts to the lakes, or is sheared until it reaches the Maritimes, while every large FA target sublimates into a broke-dick high AAV-short-term signing. All they do is sign clippers....even Suarez kind of a broke-dick/clipper on roids. -

Don't you have a LES band to chase, Don? -

I honestly wonder if Mother Nature is John Henry....the timeline of the evolution fits perfectly. -

Significant Snows Possible Latter Half Of Holiday Weekend Eastern Mass Weather asserted late last week that a significant storm was highly unlikely to materialize on Friday into Saturday. However, there was a distinct possibility that the follow up wave could produce major winter storm this coming Sunday Monday, due in large part to subtle changes in the orientation of the western CONUS ridge. There is now a growing signal amongst guidance that such a storm may indeed materialize. Synoptic Overview There are no changes with respect to the prevailing thought process surrounding storm number one. The energy will simply fail to coalesce soon enough for the region to be impacted by a major winter storm due to the follow up disturbance triggering a reconfiguration of the western CONUS ridge into a more positive (southwest to northeast) orientation. This subtle change promotes a slower down stream evolution, which results in the energy phasing over the Canadien Maritimes instead of just off of the east coast. While this does not preclude snowfall, per se, it doe relegate the region to a lighter snowfall that may accumulate an inch or two over the higher terrain of the interior. These type of wave spacing issues, as referenced last week, were a common occurrence that consistently plagued storm potential last season. Thereafter, the amplification of the incoming trough over the midwest will allow for a reconfiguration of the ridge back to a more positive orientation. This will afford the system more of an opportunity to amplify fast enough to have a greater impact on the region by Sunday night into Monday. However, there remains considerable uncertainty concerning whether or not it will amplify fast enough to provide significant snows for all of the region, or whether the primary impact will be more confined to eastern zones. Anticipate a First Call on Friday. Threat Assessment Now I just need John to helicopter in to my rescue and use the surface reflection over New Foundland to validate my analysis. -

I'm sure they'll be enough to freeze on your driveway if left unattended. -

Which will make it even more exhausting. Like, just insert the weedwhacker into my netherland and let it rip....Christ, we need to let it idle for a few more runs until any residual trace amount of mother natures lube is adequately extinguished. -

Keep this on ice for the off-chance it shows a big hit for us later this season. -
