Thank you. It's so amusing the bridge jumpers at the first sign of no immediate flakes. Following the weather in southern New England for the last 43 years I've learned anything that falls before Christmas is a total bonus. It has been somewhat different the last so many years, but that's not the norm. It is an awesome landscape out there to enjoy right now...I think I'll take the long way home from work for the scenery.

Certainly not marginal compared to the weekend...

Sniffing distance yes, but be careful...could be the turd in the punch bowl that we're smelling

You know it!!

Was thinking the same. If the threat is still there Sunday evening while I'm sipping an adult beverage.. then I'll get excited

CMC is a fairly long duration, strung out system. Looks nice...but they tend to consolidate like the ICON

For what its worth, CMC looks interesting for the 17th-18th. As others have said looks like a timeframe to be watched

Quite different if you're talking an automatic standby

He may need to get creative in sourcing parts...we have here in CT! I've even ordered parts on the "A" site for twice the price because of impatient customers. Can't blame them

Well now,, next you'll be asking whats the ETA on the LFM...hahaha. Seriously though I'd love to know how it compares. Isn't there a site to use for that?

I think the paranormal GFS was showing something similar

Funny you mention that Thanksgiving storm. We were on the Cape in Truro for Thanksgiving. (was James around then?) I remember waking up and hearing a prediction for a dusting to an inch or two. All through the day the forecasters couldn't keep up...we ended up with 17 inches! It was so surreal seeing as before that we had only been to the cape in the summer. And the april '82 I was 12 and babysitting our neighbors house. First adult responsibility and I locked the keys in the house. I trudged through 18 inches of snow and found an unlocked window to sneak in!

It's happening James! OES on the Cape this morning

Just heard about this on the way in, be careful everyone. Clear over here in the valley

IIRC..and I probably don't, weren't there several systems that looked to be rain days out but the -AO helped keep just enough cold air in place? I need to find my old snowplowing logbook, its all in there

So true. As a kid of 8, the blizzard of 78 was the storm that focused my interest in weather.. then had to live through most of the 80s
