Post-00z run call:

Socks (KAFN): 4.3"

Hubbdave: 3.5"

KORH: 2.3"

KTOL: 0.8"

MPM: 3.7"

MRG: 4.0"

KGAY: 0.5"

Thanks for your call on the 00z run, Will. 3.7" exceeds my continued expecation of 3.0" :)

Expect a trend north and a bit warmer from the NAM at 06z and beyond.

lol 6z nam actually looks south and colder

Looks like it did nudge north. Not a lot, but given the precariousness of rn/sn line, elevation, and surface temps, smidges will mean a lot I think.

Meanwhile, hoping to get at least some mood snow on Saturday. But we need a lot more to happen for us here in the NW corner. East of the valley, much better positioned at this point in time.

39.6/35 off a low of 38.3.

The 6z NAM was decently south again. Complete whiff up here now.

Oops--my bad.. It looked to me that the qpf had gone up north a bit. Maybe it was just something I saw in mby.

FWIW, BOX is calling for mixing here during the day with no reference in the forecats for accumulations. Perhaps they'll start throwing those out with the 4:00pm. forecasts.

Here's a buzz-kill from the BOX AFD for 95% of the posters.

BASED ON BUFKIT SOUNDINGS FOR THURSDAY EVENING...THE FAVORED

ELEVATIONS FOR ACCUMULATION WOULD BE AT OR ABOVE 1000 FEET IN

SOUTHERN NH CLIMBING TO 2000 FEET OVER NORTHERN CONNECTICUT.

FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST...THE NORTH-NORTHEAST WINDS OFF

MASSACHUSETTS BAY AND ITS 58F WATER TEMPS SHOULD KEEP THE BOS-PVD

COASTAL PLAIN AS RAIN.

On the plus side, a whole bunch of the posters will be able to record a trace. Hell, that might be all I do for all I know.

EDIT: I'm not sure if the posted excerpt is for the system or just for the day on Thursday, but later on they are dismissive of snow south and east of ORH. I think Mt. Tolland is south and west so the Rev may eek out something.

LOL..there's not even any 2000 foot areas in CT BOX forecast area . Why the hell would they even put that in there. NAM, GFS, EURO all drop accumulating snow 500- 1000 feet

How can you not know where i am? I'm 12-15 minutes from the Mass border.

Had to fire up the furnace over the weekend and again this morning. The house was in the mid 50's.. heating season has begun

You're a wimp. Just throw on a shawl.

I've had the stove going most of the last two weeks. I expect I might have one or two days that I will let it go out still, but for all intents and purposes, it's going 24/7 until April.

DT throws Phil a weenie on FB...

**** ALERT*** ALERT The oz wed GFS model has conceded defeat once more to the vastly superior ECMWF when it comes to handling east coast events! The new GFS has shifted a weak diffuse low HUNDREDS kf miles further west and developx the low into a much more signifcant event for VA MD DE PA NJ NYC NYand NEW ENGLAND...

39.1/35

I've had the stove running here too--not 24/7 just yet but I fire it up in the evening when I get home from work. Heavy heavy kindling.

Wait, what thread is this? :whistle:

Doesn't sound like it's going to snow much up here--too far north. Good luck down yonder though!

If I can keep my qpf.......:arrowhead:

Seems like a fair amount of frowns wrt to Saturday. I think the Euro's muting of the storm has had a greater impact than the GFS' emergence of it.
