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 ...

Any weenie in central CT that has a problem with that run needs professional help. 

Without looking, it probably Jack's from like Kev, to ORH to ASH, MHT

Fair. It's a nasty gradient. 

still looks like a decent snow, but I'd like this to tick west a bit more for our west friends.  Even if we risk slotting over ENE

Arguably the best run yet for us.

Definitely is, and from the best guidance

We're in a great spot Jerry

0z NAM showing its usual spasticity

Harvey's confidence was great to see

The take away from that map is that nobody in E MA is likely getting 40" and nobody in E NY is likely getting 10"  Overdone in both cases.  Sell.

Hah my guess there are a few folks on here who don't agree with you.

why is kev always the southwest boundary of jacks......

Yea. I don't need to jack....just keep that nasty slot away

Exactly how I feel. The 0z NAM (and continuing that trend) was not completely unrealistic, so glad Euro held.

6 miles east? Bakers Island?

my bad, more like 4 miles. just inside of 128 in E beverly

[HIPPYVALLEY]

My goodnight prediction is that tomorrow's  model runs will still have surprises and inevitably, there will be some unhappy weenies somewhere.

Agree. I'm fine with that. That has been consistent in my mind, even with the wild NAM run.

A tick west helps me, but I'd rather they underperform (but get something) than see the E Mass zone dryslot. That'd be painful to watch.

I honest to god don't know how, but you also said winter would be over in 6 weeks in like mid December

Not sure I agree. It didn’t tick east at all and it gives our area 1.4-1.6 qpf. Also the area that the models show as the “jackpot” almost never do. I could easily see the banding in reality being a little west from what the EURO depicted.

No it wasn't/isn't...that's why I lost it.  Leading up to a storm like this, I legit just stare at data non stop...probably more than most pros...especially now w wife and kids away. I get tired and irritable

I never expected that.  6-10" in Greenfield if this breaks right.

kuchie-KU the KU simulator, algorithm can turn a basic clipper into a 12-24"er

Grew up in Peabody. You're in a great spot. Enjoy!

Kuchie is a good proxy for ceiling in isolated areas in some of these bands. 40"+ somewhere would not shock me one bit

[George001]

euro gives me over 40 inches of snow, it somehow improved from 18z!

[Ed, snow and hurricane fan]

Kuchera adds 3 or 6 hour ratio snows, IIRC, so 40 inches plus of fluff packs down, to what, 2 1/2 feet?

 

Is there a doctoral candidate somewhere developing an Enhanced Kuchera storm total model that accounts for compaction?

Speaking of ratios, do you have the narcan map?

Even with 3" qpf it's tough because you need ideal snow growth for hours.   The winds will have a say in that.

This thing has my interest now.

Posting the Kuchie, 495 belt will get screwed. Shame on me
