  1. I think I'm too high in the Hartford area. Hard to keep 12-20" when you have a pretty notable jump east with the mid level low centers especially.
  2. One reason to be bullish back to the west into CT and LI... even the GFS with its wonky depiction has a great look to the west. In fact it introduces dry slot issues for Boston. Check out the 300K isentropic surface at 18z. I also attached an area averaged sounding for SE Mass.
  3. The GFS is about 1" of liquid for HFD/HVN. Given the fact it's busy bumping west and catching up with everything else you have to give the nod to the Euro. Given somewhat better than 10:1 ratios even a straight GFS/Euro compromise would get you 12-20.
  4. Exactly. There's something weird going on. The fact that 30% of the Euro Ens members don't even give Boston 6" shows that this setup is really freaking challenging.
  5. I don't think a lot of people realize how unusually sensitive this forecast is to fairly small changes in the evolution. The fact that all of the mesoscale models are way out there and the EPS distribution has grown quite a bit from 0z to 12z is a pretty big red flag. I'd hedge toward a bigger solution but man there's a lot that's pretty weird about this one.
  6. The weird thing is we have seen the spread increase in the EPS fairly dramatically from 00z to 6z to 12z. And it's no just the dual low thing... there are some real eastern outliers that are struggling to get precip even to Boston. Doubt they're right but a few red flags to consider.
  7. As mentioned the spread in the 12z EPS has only grown larger from 06z and 00z. Not really what you like to see this close to an event. What surprised me was how many members have really ugly solutions. For example, 30% of members have <6" of snow for Boston. That's not an insignificant amount and it has increased from 00z.
  8. 700 low track is a bit east for my liking here. BUT that 500mb low track is juicy for us. So a decent look for some deform snow even far west.
