  1. What are you guys thinking for this year based on how things look right now?
  2. Only has like 4-6 inches here but that euro run is closer to a bigger hit. Get those .7s and .8s for QPF farther west and this becomes a big storm really quickly. I do think the models are underestimating the westward extent of the QPF due to feedback issues and chasing convection. Also with ratios (I read that the snow growth profile was expected to be really good with this event, so 12:1 or better is likely), it’s realistic that we see a widespread 8-12 with an iso 12-16 regardless of what the snow maps currently say.
  3. Watch my 70-85 inch forecast for Boston this winter end up busting because it was too conservative, that would be hilarious.
  4. I don’t remember seeing the long range ever looking this good last year
  5. I’m not a gfs guy, but the other guidance has a similar look (maybe a bit less blocking, which is fine). I haven’t seen a look this good on guidance since March 2018, and us having a moderate snowstorm on our doorstep makes me optimistic that this pattern is for real and not a model hallucination.
  6. This is looking to be a decent storm, and then a possible big one mid Jan. This is only the beginning of all hell breaking loose based on what the guidance shows. Jan 2011, March 2018, and dare I say it, Feb 2015. The pattern looks that good for mid month, and I’m all in.
  7. The long range looks really good, ridging out west and there are signs on some of the guidance that the north atlantic blocking comes back mid month.
  8. In my area the Canadian and RGEM are already nearly at the low end of that, if we get a 50 mile tick NW with the low on all guidance that would make a huge difference. That’s what I’m banking on.
  9. For what it’s worth, the navy has been moving NW quite a bit the past couple of runs. I like what I’m seeing from the big 3 (Euro, Canadian, Navy). My original thoughts have not changed, widespread 8-12 with an iso 12-16, as I believe the models are struggling with chasing convection and are placing the low too far se and are too weak with it as a result.
  10. The eps came west last run, but it’s important to note there were 2 camps, 1 was the stronger solutions with a farther west track (mixing would be the concern) and another with father east, weaker solutions (low strength would be the concern).
  11. I’m discounting every piece of guidance that shows a weaker solution because it doesn’t make sense with a shortwave that powerful and negatively tilted. disgusting, makes me sick! I hope they discontinue that piece of shit model!
  12. I don’t think it’s weaker, just a little slower to develop. Looks like the shortwave holds back a bit more than last run, and the storm starts bombing out later. This gives it the appearance of being weaker, but it holding back more wouldn’t it be a good thing because of better wave spacing? I think it’s going to recover and end up farther west and stronger than last run.
  13. The guidance looked good for 6-12 with potential for more if things broke right a couple days ago, nothing wrong with 3-6 but when taking into account how good things looked a couple days ago it would be a bit of a let down. For me it’s all about expectations, if I’m expecting 1-2 and get 3-6 I’m very happy with it, if I expect 6-12 and get 3-6 it’s a big disappointment. I am holding out hope that it comes back west.
  14. My forecast: 8–12 in all of eastern mass with an isolated 12-15 in heaviest banding. The higher end will probably be NW up into central and northern Mass, lower end in my area. In my opinion the models are underestimating the strength of the low.
