Will be interesting since the ground has not been cold, long enough. Might get the totals but it might also be sloppy initially with an overnight freeze to the underlayer.

Yup just like 10/29/11...ground was way warmer... cuz it was October..snow stuck immediately.   This will have no issues sticking at all.

Congrats guys on the impending snow. I'll have to settle for a sloppy inch or two on the front end. This region is gonna have to wait out a couple of storms before the trough axis is far enough off shore for something meaty in my hood.

OT, I noticed yesterday was the 100 year anniversary of that horrific tragedy in Halifax which was the most devastating manmade explosion in the pre-atomic age when the Mont Blanc, a French munitions ship, exploded 20 minutes after colliding with another vessel.The massive explosion killed more than 1,800 people, injured another 9,000–including blinding 200–and destroyed almost the entire north end of the city of Halifax, including more than 1,600 homes. The resulting shock wave shattered windows 50 miles away, and the sound of the explosion could be heard hundreds of miles away.  Wikipedia called the explosive cloud a pyrocumulus cloud.

Rates can overcome any warm ground.  April Fools 1997...May 10 1977.  Etc etc etc

I get all warm and fuzzy at some of the enthusiasm from experienced and knowledgeable hobbyists and Mets in this thread.

2” is a victory for this weekend. 4” is amazing. 6” and I would kiss Jerry’s bald head

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Thanks... I could see that being a pretty good distribution for this event. Maybe shave a couple inches off the top numbers and punt on snow for the cape (sorry James).

 

Not bad though

[WinterWolf]

It’s deleted already...it was snow reports from feb 16...it was massive lol. Ginxy posted it in response to someone asking about that storm.

[Modfan]

Fwiw. Down here in S FL it is pretty humid here pre frontal passage tomorrow; can already see moisture streaming up south of Lake Okeechobee; not sure how that translates for more amped system up there.

The NAVGEM has been pretty consistent from 5 days out.  A rare coup?

[USCAPEWEATHERAF]

I posted my first guess snow map for the weekend storm, I will change by tomorrow evening if needed, it is in my forum blogs

[Ericjcrash]

Snow from the Mexican Gulf coast to Newfoundland. Impressive.

Went a bit east at 18z but quite a bit juicier IMBY. I think only 1 or 2 runs did it really waiver.
