Def some sleet and ZR Sunday south of the pike. Might even tickle north of the pike at the end. One thing to watch for is freezing drizzle too even after the main band of precip moves out.

Euro has 2-3” north of the MA/CT border or so into S NH on Sunday.Then maybe an inch or so south of that and ZR/IP. And maybe an inch or two of all snow for most of NNE.

Ukie also looks good on the crap 24h maps for next Tuesday. My guess is a lot of New England would do well. As for the day 7-8 system, that def looks like a farther west track but still a ton of CAD showing up so it could be a good SWFE or even a decent icing situation for a time over the interior. Still a long ways off though.

"Storm" is a generous term here. But yeah it could end up as mostly sleet/ZR. But some of these 12z runs have very little precip at all.

ICON is a Mid-atlantic special...mostly whiff for here. Gets the south coast.

RGEM is a pelletfest right into S NH for Sunday, lol.

Yeah, lol....NAM being the NAM.

NAM is doing the pseudo-phase that the GGEM did last night....that would be bad for the 2/16 threat. Hopefully it's wrong.

NAM actually has very little precip at all on Sunday.

An inch or two and maybe some sleet/ZR to finish....seems like south of pike will warm aloft.

May have to watch some glazing in S CT for Sunday....sfc temps aren't going anywhere even if it warms aloft.

We need a 2015 pattern where the lows are swinging north a little better....Maine got crushed during that too, not just SNE. Recently storms have been getting shoved east at the last second before they can get further north. At least this next storm looks like it will gain latitude a lot better than previous ones.

06z EPS cooled again

NAM is warm aloft south of the pike too.

Canadian sort of partially phased the arctic shortwave with the southern stream deal so it ends up as this long stung out wave. No other guidance pseudo-phases them, though the 06z NAM looks like it would come close (but still not do it)

EPS quite bullish for Tuesday...almost trying to go a little more coastal than SWFE. It’s still more of the latter but the thump would be greater and change over take longer when coming in like that

18z Euro looks ugly again for Sunday after 12z looked better.

If you can, I’d look into buying a small condo. It sounds daunting at first but the mortgage payment on it would prob be similar to rent you are paying...and at least you’d be building up equity in the condo rather than lighting money on fire each month with rent. Even if it’s a small dumpy little condo that doesn’t seem “worth it” to buy. Still way better than renting assuming you know you’ll be in the area for s few years. You don’t even have to save up a ton either if you have decent credit. You can prob put like 3% down. But anyways, this would allow you to buy a house down the road a lot easier than waiting until 50. You sell that condo after 5-10 years and prob have a 100+ grand pocketed.

GFS still kind of hideous for Sunday. V16 looks a little better.

Prob before yesterday....they are 6.0" above average to date with 32.7".

Keep the block into mid March....that way it will be timed perfectly to change regimes once we get into late Mar/April. The last thing we want is the blocking to break down at the end of February only to return April 5th and then torment us for another 4-6 weeks.

I lived for years (and grew up) on the northern side of the city which is generally pretty nice (and so is the western parts around Tatnuck Square and Worcester St College...straight northern ORH near Indian Hill/Greendale/Burncoat area is a little more blue collar than west side but still pretty nice). But yeah, they never have addressed actual downtown. Hubbdave mentioned how the canal distrcit is making a comeback too which is nice....but this is pretty localized. The new stadium will be near there, so hopefully it helps expand the growth. They really need to revitalize Main Street between like the Police station and Hanover Theater over to Pleasant St south of Park ave. So much of that is still pretty dumpy. They've made slow progress, but there is a ton of potential there.

NNE gets snow from that system too but it's lighter. Prob like 1-2".

The Euro looks a lot like 12/16/07.

Yep, that is a classic higher end warning SWFE look. Absolutel frigid antecedent airmass and the whole system slams into an arctic high situated near CAR or just north of them.
