    Could be a storm where Logan gets 1-2” and Fenway Park 6”. Rt 128/Waltham and Newton areas and west are probably where you want to be safe. 2/1/2021 was very similar for them. They need the dynamic cooling from heavy rates.

    Backend snow with a CCB would happen if the 500mb low closes off SE of us, which transports moisture around west of the low. Without it it’s likely progressive and wouldn’t amount to much. GFS looks nice but I’d believe that when I see it.

    This is the kind of setup that others pointed out could trend north at the end. When you’re relying on stout confluence to otherwise hold back a storm that would want to go on a bad track, at our latitude we’re playing very long odds. The confluence weakens which it often does, the SE ridge strengthens which it often does at the end etc, the storm will keep coming north. And wouldn’t be surprised if that’s not done on the modeling.

    Like I and some others said a couple days ago, big picture-wise this isn’t a favorable setup for us despite the model wobbles that always happen. There was/is a small window where the city can snow but that window’s much smaller than for places like Boston where they have latitude for more confluence/cold and longitude to work with the Atlantic more for moisture. We have a marginal at best airmass, easterly initial flow off the warm waters, and a setup that will try to get the low on a hugger/unfavorable track. When you consider those factors and manage expectations, the disappointment isn’t as bad. Makes perfect sense that we get screwed.

    Yep, I think this one’s done for the city/coast, mostly or all rain. Sucks. And for those jealous of SNE, avoid their sub forum for a few days since what they want isn’t what we want other than maybe a miracle with the trailing shortwave lingering some snow. Enjoy NW crew.

    Warm easterly flow initially don’t do any favors.

    To me not much has changed since a couple days ago. NW areas are favored for significant over 6” snow, near I-95 is the battle area between R/S but may get 1-3” type snow, east and especially SE of there mostly rain. Some pieces may change such as more confluence which might force a SE track but we don’t have much time for that to show up. For the city and east be thrilled with an amount that covers the grass and hopefully isn’t washed away.

    Euro technically isn’t all rain but it’s definitely a step in the wrong/amped direction along with the other 12z. As I said if there’s not enough confluence to force this east before we warm up near the coast, it will try to hug the coast because of the trough out west and SE ridge response, unless we end up with a shredded up S/W like a couple GFS runs had which does us little good either. And there isn’t much of a cold airmass ahead of this to help. So we shouldn’t be surprised at an outcome like that when we lose what we need. And for those posting snow maps like the 10-1, all that’s telling you is the liquid equivalent x 10 of what falls as snow, not what sticks on the ground. Up near I-84 or NW of 287 that might be a reality but down here it will be less.

    Someone want to start another thread for the 1/9-10 storm? This thread was created for both.

    This probably won’t be a high end storm where there are many amounts 12+. It’s moving quickly and won’t be strengthening much when it gets to us. Nothing to slow the storm down. Where it’s all snow it’ll probably be 6-12”.
  11. jm1220
    I think any place NW of I-287 is as good a spot as any for this one. It’s been consistently hit with 6+ on all the modeling for 2-3 days now.
  12. jm1220
    We have a small window near the city between the storm being too warm/NW and weak sauce/SE. It’s possible the storm goes through those goalposts but it’ll be tough.
  13. jm1220
    There’s a trailing S/W that could linger precip/snow if it’s timed well. It enhances things for SNE.
  14. jm1220
    It’s absolutely bogus. I don’t know how the guy has any clients since he’s been a joke for years. Unless this is what he releases to weenies to get clicks/likes/new subscribers and for the paid customers something different.
  15. jm1220
    You can even see from the… snow maps lol that notched area near the city and southern Nassau into Suffolk there’s less accumulation than areas starting around Great Neck and heading east. We’re maybe 2 degrees colder here but that can make all the difference like the 2/28 storm last winter. I lived in the “notch” for many years and got screwed over many times.
  16. jm1220
    That’s why I hate when these snow maps get posted. In this situation it won’t reflect reality for many.
  17. jm1220
    North and west where it’s colder is more likely to be 10-1 but anything like that here is a pipe dream. I’d be thrilled near the city with anything over a couple inches. North and west though, especially near/NW of 287 is likely sitting pretty.
  18. jm1220
    We’re not getting 10-1 here. If temps are 32 or 33 it may be 8-1. We still have the problem of easterly flow off the water. If we get a good track and precip intensity it can be overcome, but there’s a very small window between too strong/NW or too weak/suppressed. Where we see models now probably isn’t the final answer.
  19. jm1220
    No ones ignoring anything. We’re still 3-4 days away and plenty can change. We’re in the Goldilocks area where the coast can stay snow and it’s heavy on models like the Euro. The GFS has light precip and an initial easterly flow which warms up the city and coast, and the lighter precip probably can’t cool the column enough. Other models yesterday (which we can easily go back to if the confluence starts to weaken and/or low strengthens) showed a further NW track which screws us that way. But there is that tiny Goldilocks track/outcome which most models went to yesterday. But I’m still far from confident that actually happens. I remember Dec 2020, March 2017 etc where they were too SE at this timeframe.
  20. jm1220
    Still plenty of time for that to reverse back NW. We're still 4 days away.
  21. jm1220
    May be playing into the GFS south bias at this range but this was apparently resolved with the latest upgrade? In any event weak crap won't work for the city and east either because of the warm flow off the ocean before the storm. Light precip would likely be just white rain.
  22. jm1220
    We'll see. Something left on the ground after it's over will be a win in my book.
  23. jm1220
    Uh what? It can snow plenty here just like anyplace else when the right conditions are there. But as @NittanyWx is saying there's a lot more to this than what a snow map is saying. Not discounting the possibility but the overall setup is what matters here. And even where it is all snow especially near the coast it'll likely be less than 10-1 ratio the map has.
  24. jm1220
    If we have easterly winds off the water it’ll warm right up to above where snow can stick if not rain. It’s really about the track of the storm obviously and whether we can hold onto offshore winds. And yes-if it does end up more suppressed there’s the risk the storm is just too weak and it’s too warm anyway. We have a airmass that can work but not ideal. Suppressed would happen with strong confluence or a weakening wave coming east. There’s a possibility we can do okay especially where we are but it’ll take a lot to go right.

    Good number of members NW of the mean. Pretty significant number would be a lousy outcome city and east.
