Well what I can say is I’m absolutely not surprised at the trends in the last 2 days for this one. And it doesn’t look too bad now for us! What I saw before, that mid Atlantic squasher... that stopped abruptly at New England:.. I’m not saying that never happens like that but it just looked so.... Odd.

I’ve never seen a system look like this on models here before. I feel like you do. Granted however, most of my model stalking has been done in the Midwest. My thoughts are “how does it just halt like that? WTF is that”?

I liked that we got a morning coating about 3 days ago here, a different event than the Mass one

Over the past hour we’ve had a few mood flakes. This article regarding polar air just came out as some of y’all may be aware! https://apple.news/AIszB6jXVQWSksjAqxt9r0g

Oh hell yeah. Cuz you know this can deepen and tick NW and do that thing we like.

Most storms don’t come down the line in place from 300 hours out. I tend to see ripples or changes upstream at 120-200 hours where they come in a side door onto the conveyor belt

I eyeball a solid inch. And I was happy. Usually when you see shades of grey on model runs it leads me to assume we don’t get anything. But we got a nice white light plastering!

She looks like a dirty whore. Fake on the outside, nothing really at all on the inside!

April 2003 dropped a solid 4 on Westerly/Pawcatuck. This ain’t Nevada and April snow just isn’t common in these here parts

Mwahahahaha

Some yellow bits developing to my SW

Starting to coat what you’d first expect

Snowing very lightly, pixie dust. It has been so for less than an hour. It doesn’t look like it’s sticking yet

Well the radar has taken on the appearance of shredded lettuce. I’ll call this the shredded lettuce Storm. High in filler but low in nutrients.

Forgive me for changing the flow but 18z V16 Still just won’t give up the CT coastal pasting. I don’t know if that means anything

My mom reported traces of Graupel in northern New London county an hour ago.

Yes and a positive spin is that forecasters narrowly dodged a bullet of a bust

It’s because seeing clown maps followed by zero at this window of time just isn’t something I’ve seen since the 90s either.

It didn’t go my way and I’m slightly sour. But when I was a kid and even a teen, I would enter rage, tears, severe anger and pain when I either had to miss a storm, or a storm fizzled out. It created many incidents of suffering. And trust, Reno’s rain shadow was a bitch to forecast in the 90s.

Evil. Not only that but my SNAP benefits office cut me off this weekend, good thing I have food. The institutional inertia behind the times, doesn’t understand, like they promised me they would on the phone, that there is no such thing as a “termination of employment” letter when you are an Uber driver. I explained this once on the phone interview and she said just write my own letter certifying I don’t do Uber anymore. So I did just that, and got a notice that it was rejected. Now I gotta deal with them on Monday

Of all the models I have access to, only the v16 hangs on, maybe RAP. I don’t have access to all of them or their variants but no. Even an inch looking questionable.

I think anything could happen. We learned we not trust the models when they suggested a lot of snow with this system. We also cannot trust the models NOW, that they are suggesting none. Unlike most events This is one where I believe it is possible to get a region wide surprise 3-6 inches that models don’t sniff out until inside of 6-12 hours

On the goofball RAP long range Notice the ever so slight hint of energy from offshore that was once looking like a bigger deal

Is having a low track this far east a common thing or no?

That is absolutely correct. It’s like your average snowfall event in Sparks, Nevada, except that type of snow event has no trouble sticking at 34 degrees. Desperado. Why don’t you come to your senses. You been out riding fences for so long. It may be raining, oh, raining.
