For Boston or anywhere I’d just say “chance at a significant coastal storm for Saturday” and not mention precip types. Still a few days before worrying about rain or snow. Euro is a very nice solution but gets going a hair too late for the huge totals in our area. It might be holding back a little too much energy in the SW which might mean it gets going faster. 

Agree I like the general a significant coastal storm is possible take at this point. It's hard to not get excited but I know this could trend the other way still.

It's more about it's track then it getting going too late, but as others have said, it's in a good spot, especially since the Euro tends to trend west late in the game. 

A faster deepening of the low than what is shown on the euro would benefit our area immensely.

Just commentating after seeing Euro. 

Unless there's a massive regime change next day or so it seems likely we phase. 

In almost every instance when this occurred the storm ticked west and/or got going faster which caused a west tick (see our last big inland cutter). 

Having that extra wiggle room provided by the GFS/Euro is a very good thing right now.

A bullseye this far out usually means we mix/changeover as storm eventually shifts too far west. This is especially true given we don't have a true -NAO block in place.

The storm itself is likely due to the agreement on the models at this point but the track is anyone’s guess. The Euro was a very slight change from being even more of a bomb for our area. But it easily could be too much of a good thing and it phases early/tries to hug the coast.

Yea probably anywhere from a Catskills jackpot to a Nantucket jackpot is still on the table at this time.

So that must be why it gave 11 inches to NYC even with a low that far east. 

Deformation axis runs from NYC area through central New England. It develops well aloft so it can transport snow a good bit west of the track. It would be high ratio snow too. It’s not stunted like the UK has it.

Please don’t list out amounts yet. I feel this is the same every year. It’s four days away, and that’s four days it can scoot out to sea or run up the Delaware.

I’ve seen this movie before. You may not like the ending.

Miller A's always have a narrow jackpot zone with a major screw zone just to the NW of wherever that sets up. See 1/26-1/27 2015 and to a certain extent 12/26/10 as examples. 

It doesn't get any sharper than this.

I was in the one-inch snowhole for that storm (Allentown). WSW for 10-16 turned into a coating of pixie dust. A truly awful memory, and reading the reports in this forum of what was happening 50 miles to my east made everything ten times worse.

Hence my point. We all love snowstorms, but verify first. This isn’t my first - or even second - rodeo.
