I do like seeing that WCB stuff south of BID heading on a trajectory to get wrapped into the CCB over E MA and RI. Too bad we couldn’t get that stuff east of the Cape to wrap all the way back.

No because it will tilt more N-S with time. So I think you’ll get into it at some point. Esp as we get into later morning and afternoon.

That far north of the radar you’ll want the leading edge of that band to get like 5-10 miles north of you since we have really strong drift on the potent NNE winds.

You are pretty close to Scott (CoastalWx) and we also have a couple posters in Randolph.

Great band for Ginxy right now. I’m on the northern part of it.

06z gfs is getting close to good ice for SNE and mostly snow for NNE. On another note, Feb torch idea in big trouble looking at latest EPS?

Yeah. We’ll see though…maybe some of that heavier stuff can rotate a little further west than advertised. I think I’m going to be low in BOS. They look primed for something bigger than 18

Him to PYM will be the jackpot but somewhere prob in E MA down to RI or E CT will be a secondary jackpot with the really heavy deformation band later this morning and afternoon.

A lot of guidance really hammers eastern areas later this morning.

Getting smoked right now.

BOS 18” ORH 17” PVD 18” BDL 13” first and last call. There will be a band of 20”+ on south shore and another somewhere 495 or metrowest. I don’t quite think we’re gonna do widespread 2 feet but I admittedly keep staring at H7 and doubting myself, lol.

Steady light snow here. Been slowly picking up the last hour. Prob a few tenths down on all surfaces. We’ll see how things look in the morning but precip backing in nicely

That would only be in the band though and not for the whole storm.

Because the euro makes small jumps and clown shows like the NAM make large jumps…we’ll go with that

This has always looked like a total beast aloft for SNE since early in the week. It’s just that bizarre convective train going fishing in George’s Bank decided to show up late last night/today on guidance.

I don't find it very useful outside 12h for verbatim solutions but having it trend for several hours is often a hint.

Euro coming back and both HRRR/RAP trending better....this one's gonna be a beast.

He’s now like Al Michaels when he will unabashedly talk about sports gambling in the middle of the broadcast…he knows he’s a legend and doesn’t give a shit about playing it safe. That said, Harvey did this in the 2/15/15 storm too. He was basically the only met who stuck to his guns on huge snows in E Ma despite model guidance trying to give us a pedestrian advisory event. Sometimes the upper air is just so overwhelming. I also think he knows that there’s the fluff factor to lean back on….if the storm ends up a bit more seaward, there’s still the exceptional ML/Deformation that will have incredible snow growth and maybe winds not quite as strong in that scenario.

Didn’t like York or Ogunquit put up a 24 burger in that? Like 10 miles away had 5”

Reminds me a little of the disconnect between sensible wx output and the upper air in the 2/15/15 storm. The model guidance was shoving this massive WCB out east and up into Maine (where blizzard warnings busted iirc) and being paltry over SNE despite obscene height falls south of MVY/ACK

It will definitely be ripping tomorrow…but the key is do we lose some of that WCB injection. That is the difference between like a 15” storm over metrowest and a 25”+ storm.

Is bet dollars to donuts the EC goes east at 18z. All the guidance has except really the NAM which started out east but recovered late.

I’m sure you saw my post to Ryan with the coupled jet maps. It is so bizarre to me. This isn’t even like Jan 7th when the forcing mayb have wanted the afc low further west but it was kind of meh for strength so convection could overcome it…this time, it’s a monster coupled jet with big dPVA.

GFS goes to George's Bank...lol

Yeah this doesn't exactly scream "strung out low....lower impact storm for SNE"....it's literally how you would probably draw it up on an idealized setup
