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 ...

[RobertSul]

I was thinking about staying at a hotel on the coast to experience the strongest winds, but it’s beginning to look like there’ll be very strong winds inland too?

Lost in all of this chaos is Cape Cod no longer being a solid position...gradient between 2 feet and not much looks to be ~25 miles. 

NAM got dicey HYA east for a time.

It's rare to see the jack over the Monads so this will likely shift.

East of the canal. I don't mind where I am at all.

I haven't been paying attention to the temps, but just realized that this could be heavy snow at zero or below here? That's nuts. Never experienced that in my life.

Its single digits and low teen here thru out.

[OceanStWx]

Well I'm taking them up...

At the coast. 

I feel like confidence is pretty high on a decent floor at the coast, so I'm bringing totals up there while keeping the interior more or less the same. Phin should love it.

You can go to BOS for the sleet and rain.

We've had decent snow down here with temps in the single digits, lowest I remember is 4 degrees.

Yeah, 12 to -3 here per the P&C. Crazy.

If that coastal front is pinned tight in PYM county , I’ll say S shore is the place to chase to , maybe just Inland a bit

Yeah, that just doesn't happen down south. When we had temps in the teens, it almost never snowed because it meant strong high pressure was in control. Maybe some flurries at best.

We’ve seen lots of shifts with it still being mostly snow excluding the latest NAM but it’s the NAM. I think wait and see the rest of the model runs. Even the furthest west Euro which was very close to the cape kept us all snow. I think If it does go west anymore it’ll be all snow but if we see anymore shift westward it will change over.

Chris, what are your thoughts on that NAM solution? Think its too zonked?

I find it very realistic...

I'm cheering you on. All of the big EPS members up here crush NJ as well.

Temps are in the teens and 20s. In my opinion, even if the low went inland and crossed over like Worcester or something it would still snow in eastern mass due to the cold and strength of the low. It can snow east of the low, it’s not common but it does happen sometimes.

Not when they originate near the Bahamas.

I agree....nearly as much snow as deform, but more LE, and more wind.

Snowstorms are always much more fun when the NWS downplays and then has to scramble to up totals throughout the day, so I'm good with it.

I was still watching cartoon network. I remember April 97 but not 2001 storms. 2005 was my favorite until 2015.

Anyone have an idea how my area (West Somerville) fared in 2013 and 2015?

Winter hill gang Somerville? Or is that some weird town in the middle of nowhere

I don't blame you until more guidance comes in. This could be the one zonked NAM12 run.

He should preemptively gloat because, full disclosure, once I know that I am porked during the storm, I'll go to bed.
