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 don't see much more than 6" wor with current guidance, just one of those, too far west for the goods, cutters like last one we were too far east, still managed about 5 before the rain began, so if we pull 5 from this here, we'll have close to 10" otg here.

I would be content if we can pull 6" in NW MA, don't care if Ray or whoever gets 26" we just need more snow otg here.

yeah same here... I kinda lost the monster for entire forum mentality yesterday, looked good for a while, still possible, but so is nothing I guess, not even a WWA here yet, at least last check...

Looks like the Berks get in on some decent wraparound snows and probably some upslope with the NAM -- the upper levels looked better than 6z, but the surface didn't really reflect it.

Should we meet at your place or mine for a WNE edibles pity party?  

Had bad experience last wknd with some gummies. Took a 10mg gummie before bed thinking it would help me relax and sleep. No can do. Every time I'd shut my eyes, racing images would be going through my head. Had to open my eyes and stare at ceiling to make it stop. Duh, TCH kicking in. That was fine, until heart started racing (maybe 140bpm) for 2-3 hrs. Finally fell asleep around 2am. I was a bit panicked, but settled down and told myself I wouldn't die. 10mgs awhile back never did that, so no sure. Don't think I want to even try anymore. Juts stick to wine and beer.

I managed a half inch before the rain came, so it evens out, I guess.

Small amounts were my self medication and life enhancement in my late teens early 20s. After that, the older I got the more psychotic and anxious it made me.

ALY.. middle approach solution, still given their likely outcome here is 7.0", that at least warrants a WWA, if not a warning, seeing all offices around have already hoisted them, we wait...

During Friday night through Saturday night, a deep upper-level
trough will become neutral to slightly negatively tilted as it
approaches the East Coast. A favorable upper-level dual-jet
structure will lead to the development and rapid intensification
of a surface low off the East Coast as it tracks north to
northeastward. There remains high confidence a coastal low will
occur, but where it actually tracks remains uncertain. Latest
model suite is split on the track with some guidance more
intense and farther west (ECMWF/CMC) and others less intense and
farther east (GFS/NAM). Only the CMC is west of the 40/70
benchmark at this time. Upon collaboration with WPC and
surrounding offices, we continue to run a `middle approach` at
this time with the higher snowfall totals south and east of
Albany with little or no snowfall farther north and west.
Regardless, a fairly `wide goalpost` of snowfall amounts are
still possible. Cold, dry air north and west of this system will
likely lead to a sharp gradient in snowfall as well. Winter
weather headlines may be needed in later updates, but there was
not enough confidence on any winter storm watches at this time.

models are underestimating the strength of the low if anything. With the frigid arctic air meeting up with the warm gulf and Atlantic moisture, the atmosphere is primed for extreme cyclogenesis as the trough goes negatively tilted. Low closes off leading to a stall and continued deepening. We also have the wildcard, the PV energy. Right now most models aren’t showing this, but the NAM is very close to having yet another northern piece behind it diving in and phasing into the trough as the low stalls so much that it has time to catch up. If this happens, those totals we see on the nam (2-3 feet eastern mass, 1-2 feet NW) would be doubled. Even as is, there are FIVE closed contours at the 500 millibar. As Bernie Rayno talked about in his livestream, a good rule of thumb is a foot for every closed contour of the upper low. This suggests that the QPF and snow output  would likely be higher than shown. Lets see what the Euro does at 12z, if it starts trending towards the NAM, this has a very real shot of going from a “once or twice a decade” type storm to a “once or twice a millennium” type storm. That is where we are at right now, the goalposts aren’t 6-12 inches or anything like we see in normal storms, we are talking feet of snow here.

My mind is telling me no but my body is telling me yes:snowing:

Type of strain - very important.

Stuff makes me very anxious unless I imbibe in such low doses it doesn't really do anything.
