  1. Luke, you get slammed with QPF prior, and you'll actually have a cooler column being west too.
  2. After St Patty's Day (which could be very nice wx wise) it looks pretty active with a fairly cold late season look.
  3. That was the second time I remember saying "Fucking Worcester" when I saw Cantore live in that one. First time was 12/92.
  4. Yeah just scooting east and not feeling anything yet. But agree, it would start tugging NNW soon.
  5. It's real and it's spectacular. Cost like 12 bucks a month for some more capabilities.
  6. I'm sitting here looking at that image, and glad I am not at work with the things happening below the desk. Good God.
  7. I mean look at this. 4:30 3/31/97. Look at this wall of convective precip running into a below 0C column from nrn CT, nrn RI, and just south of Boston. Can tell by the smoother echoes. Just an effing firehose.
  8. I understand what you mean. But with my hand raised, I’m just trying to be objective. I don’t expect much here unless something changes. I’ve made peace with it. I’m definitely not trying to show emotion or bias:
  9. I mean thunder started that day. The lift went absolutely bonkers.
  10. Is that one hour critical? LOL. If the model you are looking at shows a start time at 00z, I guess assume 8? LOL...I gotta say...that's probably the least of our concerns.
  11. It cooled especially off the deck all night into 3/31. So once we got lift nuking the DGZ and winds turning north, we were off to the races.
  12. And timing matters. Having this after midnight Monday is good. Get the meat going already as daylight arrives.
  13. That storm had a better airmass with a good high to the north funneling cooler and drier air (wetbulbing helped cool us). That low also was well to our SE.
  14. If that were the case, I would have been fired years ago as I smoked cirrus while forecasting 30" in NYC. I'm looking at this as a met, not a weenie.
  15. Here is 925 prior to the onset of the euro op. That's a mild airmass to start. You got temps NW of Maine above 0C at 925. Look where the good stuff his. Next to Ray's Golds Gym nipple low NW of Toronto. Sure this can be overcome, no argument there...but it will depend on being in the real meat of this stuff, especially below 600' or so. If you expect 2-4" then nothing to worry about. But for 12" plus, I think you need a lot to go right.
  16. Because I feel like everyone is dropping their undies and treating this as a mid winter storm. It's not. There isn't a whole lot of room for error. Exact track and intensity rate matters. You simply cannot treat this as if we had a 1040 high to the north in January.
  17. Everyone needs to realize though that we literally have no cold when this starts. Even high elevations will waste a little until it really gets going. There is very little room for error with yet another garbage airmass and later in the season. Only thing better this time is a more dynamic system, and perhaps more of an ageostrophic (northerly in our case) component to the wind...but it's not drawing any cold air south really.
  18. Honestly, I thought you'd be better maybe more east since this whole thing tilts NW and you'd get the mid level goodies. Further west and it may send it to NY state.
  19. Hopefully more subdued and later capture. That would also get mid level goodies into CT and western areas with a look just east of the op. Or we can always have the Ukie blizzard lol.
  20. 6z euro looks a little less aggressive. We’ll see if that means anything
