The last hurrah? Putting all the eggs in the Tuesday 3/14 basket

The overwhelmingly powerful moving synoptic parts will obliterate the BL warming ... much more likely in a uniform result.  Too much tech dive is obfuscating common sense - not just in here but in the general Met community. 

These subsuming N/stream fusion into diabatic inject S/streamers, become dynamic hammers ( in the maudlin turn of phrase).  None of the interpolated snow products ...and ( I feel ) quite a bit of human interpretation, are not getting the big picture here of what this kind of event is capable of becoming.  Hopefully the nit picking keeps it upper pedestrian/lower major like that...  Heh.

Just like no one guessed a tropospheric fold would strafe SE zones with sustained 'cane winds in 2005, or how 128/95 becomes a stranded parking lot on the eve of 1978 Feb 6 ... the upper bounders like to impose "wild card" severity.  This one fits that ilk.    

I'm particularly concerned along a Willimantic CT to Bebford MA where for a time, thick caking/rhyme snow may then freeze while being struck with high winds into that snow loaded infrastructure.

Otherwise, I'm not too concerned about the risk for heavy snow as singular metric. I've seen this town cut through 22" snow storm twice and I was able to hit the gym later the same afternoon ... Snow, alone, is not the same beast to civility it was 40 years ago. But, if the visibility is very low and the wind manages to gust in the interior and the temperature is 30 F ... this turns into a different animal.  

I don't buy the 18z NAM and other waffling as negation.   It's roughly half way between the 12z and the oddly barren 00z run ...and is more a reflection of wobbling with the internal physics ( giga noise).  It's too possible that a dangerous scenario unfolds to worry about that, as the players are not in question - unlike other events this year.  They are pretty well accounted for.

The GFS is largely dismissed

 

Alert! The southern CT weenie group hacked into Tips AMWX account!

I'm not guaranteeing "cryopocalypse"   

I'm just trying to impress people not to lower the upper bounds on this thing - at all!  It has the features that have in the past, snuck up and over performed.  It's got the genetics for that kind of talent.

We'll see how it plays?

Just want to point out: box afd mentioned, "Typically a storm track so close to the coast will yield a rain/snow line well northwest of I-95. However, in this event,with rapid height falls (cooling from top down thru the column), ther ain/snow line may collapse right to the surface low! If that does occur (not saying it's likely) there would be a death band just a few miles north and west of an rgem like solution. That might  be intermittent thundersnow over BDL Kev right down 91. Edge of dryslot lines up right about there, that's usually where you'll get the unstable environment. Key word from afd was "may", but just saying that has potential to be epic just nw of the low.

thinking about that here depending on what 0z does

I think you are golden for 18+. There’s far too much emphasis on this forum on snow maps. Look at the modeled deformation, fronto and rapid deepening. Factor in the met input here and how wherever you live and your Climo and you should have a pretty good feeling of how each area will do
