We will both get accumulating snow,  I will be on the edge of maybe getting several inches.  Not huge, but definitely an interesting system.  

Most models now have accumulating snow up into NH.

Id you believe the euro and NAM, plowable for the entire 3 state SNE area

Man, what a tough forecast. At least around here. I think it’s pretty easy to go 5-8” or so for most of CT. Maybe a stripe of higher if we can pin down where that max forcing ends up. But further northeast this could plausibly be 4-5” or a coating of sand. The fronto gets pretty strong even into MA. If that lowest level of dry air can be overcome then you could still get a surprise band that produces north.

Doing my final in the AM, but probably 1-3" here if I had to guess now. You should get several inches.

Most models get good stuff right into and even north of Boston for a time. But you’re right. Anything from a coating of sand to 6” is on the table here, which is kind of crazy.

NAM was the best run of any model yet here, would probably be 5-6”

Yea, that is a miracle....

It’s kind of amazing we had back to back white Christmases when superimposed on the lack of snow overall. But at least one thing we’ve had since the beginning of last winter is cold. 
 

Anyways, yeah I’m leaning toward advisory here but that dry air makes me nervous. I’d feel better with one more little tick north.

Well, I didn't last year...just a dusting.

Damn I thought you had an inch or two. Well, at least that fits with the narrative of getting waterboarded in the snow department in the last 7 years there.

Can already see it this year...one west on 12/2, north last one, even though I got the white xmas, and now southwest...every direction. Next one rainer (north)...

Gotta wonder how much of the NE edge is virga. Extremely skeptical of those accums in NH.

North-south valleys such as the Pioneer Valley may even have some issues too. Extremely cold dry air is going to be advected directly down valley and into the low levels. There are likely to be some maddening discrepancies between radar and reality

That was something I had not thought about or knew about.  Interesting.  Not really used to snows coming in at this trajectory but in my mind I was considering similar in precipitation shield to a SWFE.  Meaning, it's a rare chance to be in a good zone of lift and decent precipitation here.
