Powerful Multi-regional/ multi-faceted east coastal storm now above medium confidence: Jan 29 -30th, MA to NE, with snow and mix combining high wind, and tides. Unusual early confidence ...

yeah, i thought he was nuts

I was about to make an obscene map yesterday...I was resisting all of the garbage models, then the 18z NAM disaster bomb dropped, and I tempered a bit...it was just too much to TOTALLY ignore.

Thanks for the kudos, but long way to go this season....I have said some wins and losses on a seasonal level. Seems like my general idea has been delayed about 2 weeks. I had the KU shot in ealy Jan.

Yeah, he got a lot of buns thrown at him but a great kid, too bad he's not here for this one, he'd be so excited right now.

How old was he? Such a sad story. RIP James.

Damn, I only check in here in the winters when a storm is coming, but have been reading you guys forever, and James was a character.  Just terrible to hear this, especially when we're on the doorstep of his dream storm.  RIP. 

Fortunately where James is now, every day is the Dawn Awakening. He's sending us a little taster.

There are a few in here that held their ground. Tip was always alluding to things that were evident to those way more astute than me about how this could still be epic despite the east trend that happened.

Now comes the NAM

Why not name this storm after him ?

I mean it’d just be something that’s native to this sphere. 
 

But hold off naming until post storm Mortem … you know, to make sure it doesn’t turn to rain or something on the Cape

Yea, he's over a decade younger than I am, so....

There’s still time for my Monday call of track between Boston and the canal to verify.

This is looking better then 18z at hr 23 on the Nam, Should be tucked in a bit more.

That would be insane. You can run SWC if that happens.

Yeah I’m just looking for higher heights up our way. Def a bit more amplified early on. Hopefully it translates to nuking NJ on northeastward.
