  1. From my experience these front-enders don't just totally crap out like this even for you guys. It should cool the column enough at least for a few good hours. For the Cape and places like Plymouth sure I guess.
  2. Right, I can see the layout of what it's showing with the min for the CT River valley etc but the amounts to me are just crazy low. I'd bet good money Northborough MA does better than me in a Miller B. Boston I could see the easterly flow and matured low killing after a time.
  3. Yes, I'd have to think that's worth more than the 3" in Boston that map shows.
  4. That has to be too conservative, the PivotalWX and other maps are better. Is this based on Kuchera ratios? (FWIW for my backyard it's not too off from those but also a little conservative, I'll certainly take either).
  5. Yeah that wasn't fun. I think as the CCB pivoted I ended up with 3" or so. One I'd rather forget.
  6. I'll certainly take it although the dry slot makes it here along with some rain. Just 50 miles or so SE can make it even more awesome though lol.
  7. Verbatim it would but it would be as the heavy precip pivots away. The 10-1 ratio snow map has me at 14" but the precip total is about 1.7" liquid at the same point, so that would have 0.3" liquid as non snow. For the city the rain adds up to about 0.1". To me that means a very heavy initial snow thump followed by light rain/showers in the dry slot for a time.
  8. :I remember the incredibly heavy snow band that formed like a fist (again I was living in TX then ) as Jonas came in in Jan 2016, something similar probably happens this time as the mid level moist easterly jet cranks up. Let's hope anyway.
  9. Cheers to that!! I have to think that front end 6 hours or so produces for most of you as well even in SE MA.
  10. This isn't the kind of system where most here outside of maybe the far eastern people near I-81 should expect the best amounts. The coastal redevelopment will take the best dynamics with it, but there's still a very nice easterly moist feed that will keep the snow going over PA and make for very nice amounts but not blockbuster. The 12/5/03 storm could be one to look at for you guys where there was still a good snow event in PA despite there being a coastal redevelopment like this.
  11. Yes that was definitely the fluke season. There was the mid Feb 2010 one also that actually did max out west of NYC. The blocking/confluence is relaxing this time though so hopefully not a repeat.
  12. No they still have them. They got rid of heavy snow warnings and blizzard watches. I could see it being a possibility (blizzard) especially south shore and eastern areas. You also need the 3 hour or longer duration and it's hard to say still how much mixing makes it to places that would get the strongest winds.
  13. And for me that was a very close shave but I just missed out on the really heavy snow. The eastern half of Long Island had up to 18" as the coastal storm blossomed. It's always a close shave here one way or the other. Nemo in Feb 2013 had over 30" in central Long Island, Juno in 2015 had over 2 feet, etc. It just never quite made it to NYC. But there are others where it does like Dec 2003, and the flukes like 12/30/00 and 2/25/10 which unfortunately for you guys cut due north.
  14. Absolutely-there'll be a ton of water being lifted on that 850mb jet on Monday. No doubt there will be some insane snow rates when the front end comes through. And it won't be booking either due to the fairly slow nature of the low. It'll essentially be a mini atmospheric river.
  15. Yes and the fast Pacific pattern may be helping us for a change here. If this had time to sit around and dig/deepen it really would've been a snow event inland and mostly rain near the coast.
  16. Yep, I can't think of a miller B like this that had the max snow over E PA. I'm sure you can correct me though if I'm wrong. These have the best action from my backyard up through New England 95% of the time outside of flukes like 12/30/00. For once the later development actually benefits NYC though rather than me cursing as the best snow shifts to Boston like Juno in 1/2015.
  17. I can't think of a storm this type that maxes out over E PA. A miller A certainly can like Jan 2016 or Jan 1996 but miller Bs typically are the best closer to the coast around here and into New England. Maybe this one will be a little different though due to the earlier development and maturing? I can think of plenty of Miller Bs though that ended up developing later than expected and ultimately trended east especially Juno in Jan 2015 and that storm of which we never speak Mar 2001.
