Mesos keep any clipper accumulation along RT 2 and N today. Looks paltry but maybe can freshen things up with an 1" or so here?

S of Pike best though?

Transient warmth.

I'd like to pile it on while we can, end of next week looks good to me. A moderate relaxation probably coming late month, maybe go a little more zonal? We joke about Grinch storms but I can see it happening.

The Canadian was pushing that theme yesterday.

ICON is trying to put a pretty friendly H over Ontario/Quebec so we'll see how that plays out the next day or two.

As you know, WNE love us some SWFE's. They are the only really lock for decent snows W of the River.

You are leagues ahead of me with sensible wx knowledge, I was just going on climo experience and staring at a bunch of multiple hour model runs today. What I saw was coastal hugger or a slightly suppressed push E and weak dynamics with the perfect BM solution being a more tenuous resolve. I have not bought my winter model subscription so I don’t see high res hour by hour so I am detail ignorant. I am just trying to learn and have fun at the end of the day. edit: to clarify I looked at a bunch of 500 and 700mb maps trying to look for trends.

More than 12/1 for sure.

We are either going to hug or suppress I’m not sure I’m buying a benchmark track.

I personally only like model compromise as a reasonable forecast option inside of 72 hours.

What, we shouldn’t spike while the ball is at the 50?

Staring at a bunch of models last night the disjointed mid-level mess scenario was my leanings but I know nothing. Let’s see how models trend with strength of secondary next few days.

One reason not to trust it is that it puts what should be the CT River Valley screw zone totals in the middle of Worcester Co.

10" at Sugarloaf yesterday, if the map above verifies it will be some great T-Day skiing there.

Their earliest opening evah'!

Count me in.

Also, New England Hurricane, A Factual Pictorial Record By the Federal Writers Project is pretty good. It was published in 1939 but you can find acceptable copies for short money.

Not much left in the Bahamas but GFS said Florida gets in on the action this time.

US news outlets have no interest in Atlantic Canada. it's boring. It will be a slow process getting everybody online as it will be a street by street effort. At one point 80% of Nova Scotia was without power. I can't imagine there are much more than 50k people on PEI. New Brunswick has a lot of customers out as well.

1) Blizzard of 78 (I was 10 and school was cancelled for a week!) 2) April Fool s 97 (Awesomeness!) 3) January 2005 Blizzard (30"+ in Cambridge) 4) October 2011 Snow Storm (Freak storm) 5) Hurricane Irene (Western New England flooding was surreal) Runner up: Feb 2013 I've had several personal severe weather episodes that have been personally mind blowing but were isolated so I went with the historic stuff.

Except in Jan-Feb when I need it!

We actually ended up with a nice 30 minutes of rain and .10" when I expected partly cloudy.

My relatives are up off the water but it is starting to look bigger than Juan at this point.
