They probably have better retention that the E MA CP because they don't get the marine intrusions or the DSD days....kind of the inverse on how Kev doesn't get upslope like the ORH hills because he is more of a single hill than a chain. That area of VT doesn't get the general downslope on a prevailing westerly flow like the CP does.
Kind of plays in to what you and I were discussing last night with respect to how being in an interior valley can be worse than being on the interior CP....unless it's December and you rip ENE at the surface.
The southward tend on the EPS has ceased....looks to about steady from 18z and a tick N of the nuts 12z run. Trend tonight on the EURO suite is a bit less of an impressive of a system overall, but this is largely noise.
