Fozz

Although I didn’t live in New England at the time, I actually stayed up here during the Feb 2013 storm, not so far from where I’m now located. And I could’ve sworn the snow was supposed to last until midday, but I remember it ending early morning, maybe mid morning at the latest. Can’t complaint though, it was around 27” or so. I think there’s a reason why Feb 1978 is considered one of a kind… you got 50” totals in northern RI. That kind of thing just doesn’t happen in non-LES, non-alpine areas. I think March 2001 was also expected to do the loop between NJ and SNE and bring some astonishing totals to a few lucky spots.

Yeah this looks close to an ideal mid-Atlantic setup, except the ridge extends too far into the plains.

I think Jan 8-14 will be the window.

Ended up with 3.8” and still getting flurries. A very wintry morning and the biggest event to date.

KFC is my favorite. Enjoy!

That’s a best case scenario IMO and taken verbatim his map has me right on the 6” line. I’d be thrilled if he’s right.

Lol

Metfan will be pissed lol

Actually we don’t know what the snowfall amounts will be for those near the edge.

Worcester county is not even in an advisory… I hope BOX ends up playing catch up

Looks like less confluence than previously expected and maybe not all models are catching on fully to it in his estimation. If that means frontogenesis and the best lift happen further N/E, that can bring us what Ray is thinking.

That’s one heck of a bold call, but I can see it happening if I’m very lucky. Hope you’re right.

It’s not a screw job if there’s less to your east. 2” > a mere coating

The NAM is just a return to reality. Nobody actually believed the 6z QPF when it was completely alone, right? Especially knowing its biases to overamp these systems.

Here in Worcester it was a half white Christmas. Snow is patchy, but probably still has majority coverage.

Yeah it was a legendary winter in the colder suburbs of DC/Baltimore, went all the way from early December to the end of March and by the end even I was sick of the cold, which almost never happens. I consider it a close second to 2009-10 where I’m from in the mid-Atlantic.

If this storm actually delivers for SNE, then the ICON will deserve lots of kudos. For days the ICON was alone in seeing this, but can’t celebrate just yet.

For once the trend might be our friend. We needed to get NAMd

Radar is looking a lot better now and I might be heading outside. LFG

It was raining with a few mangled flakes. Now seems to be changing over to snow. I just want 1”

We all want the ICON to be right about Friday/Saturday but it must be a worse model than I thought if even that isn’t bringing any hopium.

Home Alone 3 is very underrated, and it’s especially a fun movie for winter weather weenies. It’s not a classic like the first two, but the criminals are a lot smarter and dangerously shrewd.

Well this is disappointing.

I did two ski trips out west that season. It was an all-timer at Alta/Snowbird and the snow was phenomenal. Needless to say, this better not be a repeat, but I’m skeptical of ensemble means that are 2-3 weeks away.

Yeah I just took a look at the guidance and consensus is growing on a nice 2-4” event. And since it will be cold enough afterwards, that means we’d get a White Christmas.
