Perhaps because the storm is still almost 72 hours away?

Welcome. I'm on the West side near the river. I suggest we average our measurements for a NYC total as we do tend to be a tad colder over here than the East side.

This is why PBP are so awful.

I think Don and Forky both buying is the new EE rule (if you know, you know).

In case anyone isn't reading closely - that is only through 7 AM Sunday...

I swear to god in the 80s in Mass every single storm (and there weren’t many) ended with a crusty glaze on top. It was fun to punch through it.

We've also seen this play before. Most all of our biggest storms were "south" at this point in the model runs. Not a guarantee it will come north, but it's kind of like having, say, Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes down 5 entering the 4th quarter.

2003 was traumatic for me (in Boston). We planned a PD weekend getaway to Montreal area and I tracked the huge mid-atlantic storm for a week sad I was going to miss the 6-12" fringe targeting SNE. It was only Friday when it became apparent what was going to happen. You know the rest. We sat in Quebec under -20 temps while Boston broke the '78 snowfall record.

PBP are usually brutal - full of overreactions and bad early takes.

Forgive me for asking "how much in Drake's back yard?" but I can't sort this out - what's the 3-6 PM forecast for Foxboro?

Accuweather in 2000-> WWBB in 2001 then Eastern and Amex.

sure

Incredible. Probably at 1.5” on ground here in Riverside

I hope Borregales has been taking all his practice kicks in the cold and snow (when it was there) for weeks. Venezuela-> Miami-> Foxboro in January.

I just walked from Amsterdam back over to Riverside and it was very cool to really notice the microclimate we have over here - was sticking much more easily to sidewalks and cars.

at this point I've completely lost track of whether there is anything to care about. I'm just assuming it's going to be cloudy with some light snow maybe.

20z kickoff Sunday.

Because there is a long and well-established tradition of creating threads for storms only when there is stronger model support. like... more than one? Not saying it won't happen, but cluttering up the board with threads for storms that could be gone by 18z is a thing the community decided it didn't want. OG's will remember once upon a time there were threads for each model run when big dogs were incoming.
