Hard for me to get excited about this storm for anyone in New England just yet. We are still a couple of days from the southern component of this storm from forming, and there's still three different camps of thought on how it develops and tracks.
I feel like Sunday morning is when we will get some consensus, when we start to get into the range of the high-res models sorting things out. That being said I feel like there's more of a chance of this storm being suppressed and progressive and missing most of the area instead of it being overly amped and flooding New England with cold rain. I don't think the SE ridge is going to be the main influence on this storm...
Agreed. Especially where I am it's not going to be beefy one way or the other unless you thread the needle. However, any thing that helps with keeping it snow longer will help. A flatter look means less rain for most.
It was farther south and east until hour 99 than the 12z run, then it became more amped than 12z from hr 102 forward. My guess is GFS goes back SE at 00z run...
18z GFS has been drinking.
You don't want to discount it as a possibility, but, with the accuracy of the GFS in our next of the woods recently and it not being part of the consensus guidance, I'm hesitant to believe that track as well.
IMO - ANY significant snow before January 1 is always a pleasant surprise down here in the coastal plain, next to the bay. Too many things working against us early in the Winter. A couple of inches of slop will be a positive...
It's always interesting when the CFS monthly is out of sync with the weekly version of itself. December looks much better on the weeklies than the monthly one that @40/70 Benchmark showed. Euro weekly backs it up. Never confident in these long term models but it's nice to see the signal getting better as we get closer to December rather than the other way around. Hopefully it's not hallucinating.
I did! But unfortunately work has been very busy, and November is also a busy family month (wife's birthday, wedding anniversary, son's birthday). I plan on adding this weekend. Thankfully everyone can retroactively add snow reports when needed.
Do not submit your accumulations with the inches (") symbol. It converts the entry from a number to plain text in the Google Sheet. This then breaks the "sum" formula adding up the totals.
