I'm surprised given all the previous discussion of how well the NAM does with thermals there is not much stock being placed in it. Any specific reason for it being tossed aside or is it the frozen precip model output confirmation bias in this thread?

I'm planning on heavy snow and sleet.    Feeling good about 6"+ of snow and sleet.   We just need frozen here for the big winter carnival.

I'm hoping for skiing on cream cheese at Berkie on Friday.

 Maybe lesson learned on banking on band ending up west with +NAO? But then again, you hear people argue that that FAVORS NW push. Bottom line is at the end of the day, its a guess...and I guessed incorrectly.

Rookie question, I was thinking the old 50-70 miles from modeled for bands but with the +NAO there is nothing to "slow the flow" and push it NW?

nah, it took a minute for me too. the map was screwy with the labels

Yup, edited my previous post. I'm still on the edge of 8-12 and 12-18. I'd love to see another 4-8" this afternoon but doubt it.

There's a 12-18 zone, it looks odd because of where they put the numbers, we're in the 12-18

Damn ADHD/Dyslexia, thanks!

NWS sees something we don't 

Yea, a big pivot in. Similar to what happened out here December 2018 is all I can think of. I'm on the edge of their 8-12" and 18-24" (no 12-18" zone?) and I'm looking at 4.5" currently. 

Edit: I cant read and suck with crayons, zone is there.

This little band has been keeping me in this all morning. Otherwise it would be a total bust.

Gives me hope for possibly moving down there next year lol

On the edge of it now, really picking up. About 1" per hour type sand.

No shit? I never knew that. That's pretty wild. 

Forgot the sarcasm font lol. Was a fun place to work though.

Ha we will see. Usually the bands are more transient here. We usually get the good stuff at the end more often than not. Surprising to see a juicy band move in from the east this early.

The size of the bands is surprising, usually don't see a them greater than the width of the entire state.

Lol at the Johnston landfill still showing up 

Worked there for a few years after high-school. The amount of warm gas expelled creates the RI screw zone. 

The two bands coming together right over northern RI. Awesome to see on radar. Where is @MBRI?

Ooh band of yellow incoming… that rarely happens here…

I hope my post last night is 100% wrong and you get 3-4" an hour.

Getting some banding creeping in toward electric blue now. 

Radar is just picking up on all the glitter.

Definitely seeing some hints for snow picking up even far west at this hour

Give it 30 minutes, returns will fade. I just started up the wood stove to dry out west of the river. 

3 minutes ago, DotRat_Wx said:

You can see the beginning stages of a band from @Ginx snewx to @ORH_wxman to @40/70 Benchmark

Yup, looks like some good returns starting to pop up along 95 from PVD to Boston too but it will really build NW.

Driving the Dominator around the dunes?

Not used to these types of winds here during snow storms.  Howling up high.  Wish we could pull in some better snow rates tho'

Really improved down here in the last 20 minutes, no more sand, actual flakes and almost 2". Want to see some of these pivot.

Lets hope.  Beyond meh so far but some bands do seem to be approaching.  

That 395 that was mentioned does look great for Ginxy.  

I'm just happy with Berkshire East getting a refresher.

This is why I hate windy storms . 4.0”

Looks to be pounding 35dbz around 395 in CT and around @Ginx snewx.

About 1" down. Pounding artic sand. 18/15

When do the avalanche warnings go up for Blue Hills?

Really thinking the best banding will be from east of the river to Worcester/PVD area and the typical RI screw hole a little east.

Gray, ME   34"

Best thread title ever!

I run into issues like this ALL THE TIME now. I spend half my work day chasing people and information, parts etc and hear the same thing..."thats weird, I'll have to check and get back to you" So So many non qualified people doing jobs they don't stay in long enough to learn...or give a shit about. We pay the price

That was my take away. Had to wake up early to catch up on work I had planned to get done yesterday. I don't understand how they have been in busy for decades operating like this.
