I am working on an update and pulled up that graphic only to see tepid support, much to my chagrin...until I realized I had left the window open and was viewing guidance from the 16th. FYI, refreshing that page will not update it...need to manually set run if you leave it open. lol
Even that QPF chart, as is, argues for prolific deformation from like Steve up through my area here in the MRV....crude rule of thumb is right near the QPF gradient, which at this range is only detecting lower level forcing.
I can tell you how I would cope if this ever missed...working in the the outskirts of Boston proper (Chelsea) is a logistical nightmare right now with all of the snow. It's really testing my resolve with regard to the snow obsession.
I think barring a significant regression, you can start tuning up the plows EOR because I don't see how this doesn't get banding well west of model depictions....again, assuming it doesn't verify further east.
It's also important for us in the east as far as high-end potential is concerned.....I would cap things around a foot if it were to close off so far south.
IDK if anyone read my blog post from yesterday, but I laid out the reasons why I think that will take place....aside from the fact that the depth of this thing is exotically anomalous as is, which is tacit.
