I believe it was Covid related . He had a true passion for wx. 

Shit. God damn CoVid. Had it a month ago and it was nothing but I’m triple vaxed

Just now, Damage In Tolland said:

Unfortunately he passed away last year. Truly a tragedy 

Bummer. I remember how you all (in a friendly way) gave hime the business - especially when he first popped on. Now we have George01.

Enjoy up there and raise a glass to James! This ones for him. 

What happened to that dude anyway? I remember he wrote a book and was always talking up every little storm as if it was the second coming.

Just so you know, in Feb 13 my area was forecast for 10-15” and the same massive amounts that you’re seeing forecasted for Eastern Massachusetts now, we’re being forecasted then.  We ended up with 33” on a 10-15” forecast the day of when it was already snowing. 

 

You don’t know how these monsters are gonna set up the Banding, and where the banding will actually be? Primary band, secondary band etc..we won’t know until it starts happening.  This could be similar..there will be surprises with this. You might want to keep an open mind. 

Exactly - same exact here.

I wasn't going to drink tonight but ... I feel like the storm is imminent - not still 36 or more hours away!!!!

From someone still relatively new to meteorology, what about this is so impressive?

I don't know that piece well but the blue dash line from '0' is the temp I believe - the squiggly lines are dew and temp at that location (having them overlap means near full or full saturation). And the vertical markers are your heights and from what I have learned from this is that 700 is where the magic happens - and the column is saturated to the ground.

Caveat - I am a music major who was friends with a bunch of mets at Lowell and I've lurked here for a long time. Those with more knowledge then me feel free to egg me - I am total hobbyist.

Drunk in tolland can't be helped. He's stuck in his old ways unable to adjust or move with the times. 

 

Well said though, we will chew as many gummies over the next 3 days to help cope with another near missed big event. 

Horrible for anyone on the spectrum however. Psychosis can be amplified.

The same with beer and alcohol. Like anything, moderation and knowing what your're ingesting is key. Lava took too much before bedtime and he obviously didn't chew Indica but sativa or hybrid instead. Flowers have different strains for different purposes. 

Exactly 

I have good luck with Bedtime Betties” - at most twice in one week.

let’s get this west by 100 miles.

Had bad experience last wknd with some gummies. Took a 10mg gummie before bed thinking it would help me relax and sleep. No can do. Every time I'd shut my eyes, racing images would be going through my head. Had to open my eyes and stare at ceiling to make it stop. Duh, TCH kicking in. That was fine, until heart started racing (maybe 140bpm) for 2-3 hrs. Finally fell asleep around 2am. I was a bit panicked, but settled down and told myself I wouldn't die. 10mgs awhile back never did that, so no sure. Don't think I want to even try anymore. Juts stick to wine and beer.

Type of strain - very important.

Besides sema, I do like where dryslut and coastal maine is for this one.

 

Sounds like a bad use of hard earned money!!!!!

2/3s of EPS members are big hits back to HFD.

Was just thinking same for down here in Bridgeport area.

The freakouts are getting a bit ridiculous. This is still really 2.5+ days away. I know it seems plausible to want to see such strong agreement and consistency but the truth of the matter is we're still within the time frame where subtle differences are going to occur. Forgetting about these east vs. west swings, at the end of the day, we're not asking for significant changes here. For things to come together and be a very high-impact event for most...it's not like a ton has to happen for that to happen. There is a difference in needing drastic or substantial changes and very subtle. 

Like 100 miles west and it’s a massive difference. I think I saw Tip say earlier that at this lead time the envelope is like 150 to 200 miles - granted that was after the 12z so let’s say 120 to 180 now.

How bout them Hockey East standings!!!!

Further than that because southern nee haven county is considered yankee still. We are rarely blacked out for the yanks in favor of the Sox… 

Sox fan here. I have always sort of felt more of the 'tri-state' vibe than a New England vibe here near Bridgeport.

Just saw the 18z NAM

What's to stop this from going even FURTHER east! 

 

I am recalling Tips -"stretching the X Axis" description from a few days ago - WE STRETCH!!! God damn it we stretch!!!

I think the majority of us folks west of Rt 8 associate more with metro NY.  East of that, you get the New England/Boston association.  At least that's how it plays out with sports.  

RT 25 is actually where MLB considers the division between Yanks territory and Sawx territory when it comes to broadcast policy and blackouts.

I think CT is in the cross hairs 

If I remember correctly(and I may not) Feb 2013 had the big totals off to my east. We wound up with 33” here and we were near he top end of accumulations here in Trumbull.

There are a good amount of eps members that get you guys good up there. 
 

E35 and 36 work for our area.

I haven’t been paying attention to that specifically.  In this situation I don’t have a lot of faith in the mid.  I think there’s probably a data sampling issue going on and those intervals are going to be suspect first

Upcoming runs will be telling think when compared to 12 z today. Curious about how the NAM presents the evolution as we close in under 84 hours. Also where GFS and EURO go after their 12z today. Will it be 1 step back and two forward or a “slip sliding away” run.

From Doorman

How is the gefs east with this look

Doorman - what thread is he on? NYC? I haven’t seen him In forever

It’s better overall from what I’m seeing but it suppressing you ur way. 
 

it’s inched west overall. Deeper QPF into SE zones down thugs way  etc

dont sweat it though. This model’s in mid trend … I’m suspecting 00z my be interesting. 
 

Mid trend as in moving a bit westward correct?

I remember a storm while I was at Lowell -  the only one of the year  _ where it snowed pixy dust for like 12 hour or more before the big show. The sun was also shining softly thru high cirrus clouds so the snow was sparkling as it dropped thru the air. I forget what year but I think it was when was in dorms my freshmen year - 1987. I'm wondering if that was PRE.
