I am incredibly pleased with how the season is progressing relative to my expectation....may end up with less snow than I suspected through December (of course), but pretty damn good overall.

You had cold to VA and more snow than Methuen?

[Torch Tiger]

usually my threads bring good juju. of course nne has been crushing it, but that's not surprising.  Just hope southern sne sees a 1-2" at least

[Torch Tiger]

maybe i'm off, but at a shot at warning totals on s coast/cape, somewhere?  lol  just looking over 12-18z. 

yeah sst's play a part so the immediate coast is toast

I’d say 10-25% chance someone pulls a 6.. most likely right now in central jersey, Trenton NJ to right over our favorite police officers backyard looks like the sweet spot

ICON still nothing outside of some snow showers.

We are going to need a miracle tomorrow to get anything more than a dusting to an inch

You seem to care more about verifying your seasonal forecast than anything else which is a bit strange unless you have paying customers and this is your business?

Or personal challenge, education, fun etc.....

It's not accumulating very fast, but there's some steady gusty small flake (arctic sand) falling.  It covers things up quickly but doesn't stack very well.

Cold shallow moisture continues to stream into the region on NW flow.  Nocturnal inversion is trying to squeeze out all remaining moisture from an arctic airmass.

It even reached here. About an inch. Not as much as you but it all adds up.

So, you think cuz the icon shows nothing, then that’s the final forecast?  Hard to figure you out?

Gfs looks a tad worse through 42. I wouldn’t expect much help from that model 

[ORH_wxman]

Yeah not very impressed by GFS. Getting a bit bleak this far north. South coast to the cape is def still in the game though.

The gfs doesn’t have much of anything, anywhere.

Im not completely sold this ends up anything more than flurries off the cape. Going to need to see something by 12z tomorrow to believe we are getting more than just flakes in the air here 

[Torch Tiger]

i'm kinda optimistic for some weenie spots on cape cod.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Nice hit for the cape on the CMC. Cutback everywhere else though, definite slide SE

Yep, here comes Lucy.

The positive tilt of the trough and having it consistently pressing southeast at the same time is giving me Bruce Willis storm vibes.
 

Where the low levels just try to suck the moisture out of the air even if things look decent at H6-7 

[CoastalWx]

See you when a threat actually comes. This is toast. 

[Torch Tiger]

150'+ cape cod special.  tbh

Yeah, I mean, it was such a meager “event” to begin with, I don’t think anyone is losing a ton of sleep over it. I would have been thrilled with 3-4” but tonight’s runs are showcasing that unless you are on the cape, Good luck with accumulating snow

Once again, we added another negative variable over the last 24+ hours. Not only is it still not turning the corner, it’s kind of lost its potency so even on some of those earlier runs without much coastal involvement we were getting a couple inches.

Now, over the last several cycles, that has kind of disappeared

We really need a more potent vort at this point. Otherwise it feels like a south coast event where they scrape a couple inches and the dry air in tje low levels just sucks the snow out of the sky up north. A lot of Virga probably.

Gfs AI looks ok for a light accumulating event.
