I stand corrected…Good catch

Beautiful day to take down a tree ( aren't they all?). Bluebird skies...

Someone is going to get a good smack from this Friday Saturday deal, unfortunately, it’s looking like that’s going to be south of New England. Jersey gets clobbered on some of these runs

You do that by remote? I didn't see you there.

GFS continues to be mostly a whiff for 12/26-27 but it’s been creeping back north.

I thought this run was worse than 12z to be honest

It actually eroded the northern edge but the heavy stuff bumped a little north…which makes sense. It’s basically tightening the gradient. Prob a sharp cutoff in this system.

Still think the Euro leads the way here. I highly doubt this dives into the Mid-Atlantic as a snow event and whiffs us. How often does that even happen?

When doesn’t it with winter storms? This is like old days GFS that was always south and you could predict exactly what and when it would come back north, That’s in fact how we started the north trend term that the mid Atlantic still hates us for .

I don't think the Euro is king anymore, so I take it with the same grain of salt as the GFS, etc.

Crazy the Friday storm is in NAM range for 6z run tonight . Glad the gfs is the southern outlier . But 12 EPS does look kind of gfs like .. let’s get this north to include more of New England

Yeah it doesn’t happen too often but this is admittedly a weird setup. We want to see ensembles tighten before really getting a good handle. The mean still has decent precip up into NNE so there’s a lot to spread.

Yeah, being on the outside looking in right now is kind of scary. If this goes more south at all, we’re cooked

Well, after flopping around for days, the models have suddenly shown remarkable consistency now that the consensus is largely a whiff for New England

I mentioned this to Ray this morning. The angle blows for most of New England. So the storm could literally be close by and miss most of us 

[Damage In Tolland]

Scooter so embarrassed he hasn’t posted all day . Just refreshing the board each set of runs and couldn’t control himself from weenieing my last post 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

NYC having 10x as much snow as Boston on the year after Saturday? Holiday cheer for all 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Basically two camps on the GEFS, good bit and whiff. Not much in between

Windy day. I loosened it just enough so I could get a good shot when the wind picked up.

I think this will slowly inch north. possible the models are exaggerating the strength of blocking around Iceland and 50/50 low. You wouldnt need much compensation for this to hit New England

We need that. Otherwise it will be congrats Philly and DC and I can promise the vibes will go straight to hell then

There are still a significant number of ensemble members on both GEFS and EPS that hammer southern New England. Lot of spread. Honestly, anything is kind of gravy from that system as 2 days ago it looked like a rainstorm except way up in far NNE.

And looking beyond, it’s pretty amusing to see clippers return from their multi-year hiatus. It looks like we might remain on the good side of this razor’s edge pattern. For now at least. 

[WxWatcher007]

I won’t dare risk it despite being the leader in the clubhouse so far this season, but it’s time for a Boxing Day thread. 

[moneypitmike]

I've got little interest in Friday--though I know many rightfully do.  I am interested in Sunday though.

Too soon for a New England thread. NY/PA in better spot right now. I’d like to see the ensm tighter up the spread better for New England.

That was a very cold run. Very few torches. 12/28 gets messy with ice/rain but not warm at all. That Atlantic blocking just dominates for 10 days.

That run was a clipper parade.  Your new spot will continue to clean up with us in NNE if we get energy every couple days coming in from the NW and plenty of cold.

The difference from your area to the eastern Adirondacks is pretty stark in these types of patterns.

Well, you can see TBlizz starting to hint and show his hand already…he’s revving up for a tirade of negativity.  This thing will waffle over the next few days…we gotta roll with it for a bit. As Will Said, anything from this is a bonus anyway.

It’s hard to take anything good or bad for that system seriously when just yesterday it had rains to Maine
