  1. I want to be wrong about these things. When I got the KU books I was mortified at how often Springfield got stuck at 10-12 inches with totals often double that just to the east south and a few times west. But I have seen personally close to two feet once here so I know it can happen. One can only hope. These opportunities only come along once in a while.
  2. 1978 was nothing special in the Springfield area. The initial thump was solid but after that I am pretty sure the valley sucked exhaust for the next 24 hours before maybe a few parting storm snow showers. I think only 12 to 15 inches fell. BDL did a little better and my folks in Bristol CT swore it was close to two feet there. The big difference was all the blowing and drifting snow.
  3. Well I told my central Ct peeps it looked like a big deal but told them up here I wasn't convinced of more than a respectable snow storm unless we got lucky with banding. I feel not nearly as excited seeing the Icon and GFS cut back like that ...those aren't little moves for folks on the edge. In fact a few more of those and its a foot of windblown snow on the cape and islands Gfs and icon big sudden cutbacks, really hope that's a blip
  4. I'm very much southern New England. Appreciate the vote of confidence but worried about shadowing.
  5. Oh yeah its on every model. I can only hope that I am close enough to the CT border to get out of some of it because things look better not far from therea. I'm not excited about this storm, I am actually really worried of what I will see going on all around me. Actually the tracking part will be the most fun part of this.
  6. Thank goodness! I never ever thought I would be rooting for that model.
  7. I'd really like to see some more purple across west central and Western Mass and parts of eastern New York. This qpf cut off is vomit worthy.... We're going to have to have some deform magic or its ar tic sand and pictures from the south and east to look at I don't know if I have ever seen the models hammar home valley deficits so intensely before....every model has it so its got to be right.
  8. That was brutal back here but that's just how it is back here a lot. That's a huge move east by the GFS though especially if its the start of a trend for some of us back here
  9. I get the possible issues in my hood but almost all of jersey in the big qpf , I wonder why that isn't easily stretching northeast across all of Westchester county NY and Fairfield county CT. Unless the Icon hasn't caught up to that yet?
  10. He was a negative Nancy with snowstorms it always seemed like to me. They were never going to be a big deal or just a glancing blow. I will never forget the day after the Feb 1983 him eating crow on the radio as the state was buried . Think he lived to be 91 though.
  11. I heard that today right after Steely Dan's Dirty Work.....was in a 70s mood earlier
  12. Light sleet...a few flakes 1.5 inches in under an hour Didn't expect more than some pellets and a few flakes before just some rain. Best rates and snow growth of the season or close to it.
  13. Just wait til it starts my friend.....should be a fun afternoon for northern folk
  14. Pray for deformation, even a glancing blow from it. Might be all we have.
  15. 6-8 would still be pretty good considering what's not happening today and didn't happen Wednesday. No one wants to see a deform band of 2-4/hr goodies parked overhead with awesome snow growth more than we do. We just have to pray. I'm sick of these messenger shuffles!!!!!
  16. They were both equally as bad now that time has elapsed as far as I am concerned . Well who knows maybe in this twilight zone winter of a mammoth country wide SWFE and snow onk southerly winds maybe something will go right and help to erase or at least quell some of those 15 and 22 nightmares.
