To be fair the GFS was getting laughed at for showing us getting 6 feet, not 6 inches, lol.

That run was insane. We got the WAA snows, then as the main storm approached the PV put down the hammer and kept it moving east while creating insane convergence right over us. I'd be happy with a quarter of that run.

Honestly that much snow would be scary, probably would lead to loss of life and property, but Id be lieing if I said a small part of me still doesn't have some morbid curiosity in seeing it happen. I guess that's the struggle hurricane enthusiasts deal with.

Something to track and the hope for. You never know. Maybe this is the big one?

*excuse my over optimism. I refuse to be negative this far out.

I'm with you, heck I would take a mix if it meant a solid thump of snow then the whole kitchen sink of precip types.

Averages start climbing again in a few days. Interestingly, under the old 1981-2010 normals, highs started climbing today (35.4F on the 17th, to 35.5F on the 18th).

Of course it was being laughed at for that but that wasn't the only big storm it was showing as it did on another runs. But it was as if because it showed that "stupid" storm all the others were laughed at and thrown out too since there wasn't agreement from EURO. Then last night EURO threw one out that was somewhat similar to what GFS was showing on few of it's runs. So maybe a "stupid" storm isn't as far fetched.  I certainly do not want a 6 ft storm as ROTT discussed the dangers with that large a storm, but give me a"stupid" 12-24 one.
