I like my spot in this one. Hoping for 6"+. But will be pretty happy as long as I get at least 4. 

Same here. ORH to DAW should be a lot of fun for this one.

First significant snowfall for the region will occur late tonight
and into early Sunday morning.

Lets just skip Saturdays now.

RGEM is solid for CT. For those QPF queens.

Depends on the model. Might want to wait on that for the 12z stuff. Earlier I mentioned where I thought it may go.

Right over Crystal Lake.

Nice little goodbye party for eastern areas too. Takes a while to leave there as the upper level support is to the southwest. This run would def be widespread low end warning stuff with prob some lollis to 10.

Looks like an 8 spot thrown up in Cumberland, RI on the TT 10:1 graphics.

Yep, should look great in many areas come Sunday morning. Whether you get 2" or 8".

I think you may mix or flip to rain for a bit. It gets mild near 850. It's certainly not washed away, and you'll flip back to snow after 4-6z or so.

You're in S Carver, correct?  I'd hedge on lower amounts drawing a line from New Bedford to Downtown Plymouth.  I'd say you look good for 2-3".

Cory jackpot?

Much better spot than.  You're more in line with me than.  I'm leaning towards 3-5".

Well look at that.  A Jackpot Bullseye on The Snowman.  Accordion Tunes Commence?  

 

Im driving back from Montreal tomorrow so I'm trying to figure wheather to go more 91 to 90 back vs. the usual 89-93-495 back as it's too Far East.  But ALSO I actually need to be in Boston for a concert at MIT so I may never be home for this one.... 

 

Here we go AGAIN with that crap of me never being home on a good one  until I change plans and rush back and it turns into a suck storm.  

[WxBlue]

Given that I'm not a winter weather savvy like y'all (yet), I'll go ahead and ask this: how good/reliable is RGEM comparing to NAM? Definitely not a model I use often.

Very reliable inside 36 hrs in most cases, Better then the Nam.

Night and day difference.

Yeah overall it is more reliable. Although sometimes I find it's a bit too juiced...but it is not prone to the wild swings the NAM can have. It's thermal profiles are decent too.

Yeah, It can have its hiccups but its less prone to the wild swings as you said, There was a couple events last winter it layed an egg on, But all and all, It is way better then the Nam.

Zoomed in 12zRGEM.  Higher totals are actually along the rt 24 corridorS of BOS.  Coastal front enhancement and the ULL.
