If the northern stream phases in it's game on. If it doesn't, it ends up being a negative effect on our bowling ball. Also have to watch the lobe swinging through se canada into northern New England. If it swings around at the wrong time the storm won't be able to climb the coast.
*** a little disclaimer. I'm not even sure if any of these canadian vorts are real at this point so its best to just keep an eye on things and look for any big changes coming out of Canada. And the disclaimer isn't for you Walt, it's for the weenies like me.
