meh we'll see how these cloud physics work out for me

With the way they plow here I wouldn't be shocked if they end up closed through Thursday. Probably won't see a plow on my street until Tuesday.

Yeah I don't see sleet reducing totals anywhere. The bulk of everything already occurs. Its not a big deal

Wasn't entirely sure I'd get to do into enough detail to make a forecast but alas I did. I originally had the whole area of 12-18" but wanted to highlight that potential for some higher amounts in northeast Mass...I think that signal could be very real. Didn't want to go crazy and throw out 18-24" contour so just bumped 12-18 to 10-15 to add a 15-20 area. This is what winter is all about!!!!!! LFG!!!!!!! Massive snowstorm and a Pats trip to the super bowl incoming. Someone pinch me I'm dreaming https://weatherwiz.blogspot.com/2026/01/significant-snowstorm-to-impact.html

Its the 84 hr NAM gut that is a lot of DPVA throughout the day Monday (seem better animated of course) And we're in the left exit region of this monster jet streak

The coastal front is going to be insane. I think we know where the jackpot zone is going to be

yeah not sure if its a cod thing but its a little funky in that regard. but thats the type of lift we want to see!

Oh here we go...northeast CT right along the RI border. This is it

Going to be a hellacious fronto band moving through

Nothing loads for me either I forgot all about his page...his site used to be my go to for soundings back in the day.

Yup...great point. I'll say too...looking around at various locations, I would like to start seeing some stronger omega values popping up on some of these soundings. It's easy to get carried away with ratios given everything but we aren't going to automatically snag very high ratios because the DGZ is deep and its cold. There are really a ton of details to go over and analyze on this

Ratios will def be great up that way...the average should easily be in the 15:1 to 20:1 range up there and probably upwards of 22:1 to 23:1 during peak intensity.

If that Monday snow verifies I think someone in northeast MA may pull >24" I would not forecast that now but I think there could certainly be some reports. This storm is going to be full of surprises...I can't get over the whole DGZ thing looking around on bufkit lol. I think dendrite mentioned this about the snow ratios and how its difficult to maintain upward of 20:1 - 25:1 but where and when the best lift is occurring...there is going to be a swath verifying those ratios at least for a brief period of time

I like the good ole fashion wood

I could picture the NAM ending up with one of those runs that produces 1.50-1.75"+ of QPF. I really need to get to Lowes and get those yard sticks. Might have time to go Saturday, hopefully they'll have some in stock
