Never gonna' happen' from a sensible wx perspective. Not quite in your fraud 5 but a good rule is to cap a SWFE at 10" and that is usually only up towards Dendrite or Dryslot. A solid SWFE for you and I is 6-8" with a light freezing drizzle to finish.
Yeah, barring major NW trends, RT 2 corridor and N is getting a whole lot of frozen precipitation. Of course we would prefer it to be mostly snow but so far even the biggest debbies have not been concerned with paltry QPF from this one.
Winter season you and I are closer to CNE then SNE wrt set ups like this and how this board interprets sensible winter wx forecasts. N of RT 2 and W of I-290 is really part of CNE in Winter.
Whatever, I will be worried if we still have lots of members showing inside runners on Thursday morning. If tomorrow shows a noticeable trend among all models moving NW it won't be a great feeling but Thursday morning is my target.
I'm not too worried about a solid thumping in Greenfield before any pellets or ice. I am worried about plans to go to a party in Newburyport Saturday night and try to get back down Rt 2 on Sunday morning. Start time will make all the difference.
A week w/o power and highs in the teens? No thanks!
If models hold as we get closer I'll go throw a few gennys on the Home Depot CC and flip them for 2-3x ca$h as Ct peeps get desperate.
j/k
Maybe, but some of us would also prefer not to have an extended period of PL/FZRA into a fresh pack, however, beggars can't be choosers when not even crumbs have been offered since November.
It would be most unpleasant to get a few inches of snow on Friday and then get 1" plus of rain poured into it with an immediate freeze right after. Then follow up with a cutter and refreeze for good measure.
It is trying to find any way possible for it not to snow in Boston. LOL
Meanwhile CMC going big with 30 hours of snow next weekend.
I'm concerned we get a 1040 H sitting over Burlington Vt on Sunday saying congrats S Jersey.
