I think the general idea that you'll run an LP center offshore while a second one develops close in under the primary U/L forcing seems pretty reasonable and not likely a model phantom. Out this way the 3km solution isn't bad verbatim, but we'd almost like to see that convection rocket even further east and faster and let that second low have some space to breathe. Of course, if the initial LP were a model phantom, that wouldn't be terrible either.
Logan Airport reported 6.8" on 12/23/97 so I presume that was a white christmas

There could be something to that. Sturbridge area might have been the jack and they could actually weakly downslope from hilly terrain to the west. It's all pretty gradual in that stripe along the pike though, and a net rise coming out of the CT valley.
Not sure if it's coincidence, but that little area near the pike in central Mass has done well in the rare anafrontal events we've had, including last Friday, 12/10/19, and 2/2/18. By done well I mean 3-6".
Yep. Get it while the getting is good. First couple warmish sunny days when most of the mountain refuses to soften, Royal Flush and Devils Fiddle are the places to be.
