26th-27th event, coming at us like a wounded duck.

Southington too…don’t leave us out.

I think we're in a great spot. The lack of a WSW for Hartford County is puzzling.

Where the heck is that 6-10" swath going through MA coming from?   I don't see anything suggesting that.

 

If it happens, I will buy you a beverage or app of your choice at the next GTG

6-10” in central Massachusetts…wow I wouldn’t have thought that?

That’s one heck of a bold call, but I can see it happening if I’m very lucky. Hope you’re right.

Looks like less confluence than previously expected and maybe not all models are catching on fully to it in his estimation.

If that means frontogenesis and the best lift happen further N/E, that can bring us what Ray is thinking.

Worcester county is not even in an advisory… I hope BOX ends up playing catch up

A very bizarre map.

H7 warm front stagnates out there as it runs into resistance from the confluence and the system decays.

The timing gives them the flexibility to issue advisories in the afternoon update.  They not sold on the more NE solutions yet.

Some strong clipper memories

 Usually go from flurries to full on dendrites. Piles up quickly. Rates are crazy in max zones. Max bands don't last long but can produce 4 to 6 in 2 hrs. As quick as it came it winds down to 1/2 per hour then it gets very cold and windy. Blowing and drifting is an issue. Final call for CT.  BDR 8, HVN 6, BDL 8, DXR 9, IJD 6, ME 5, KEV 7, Wolfie 8, 4 Seasons 9 , Big Jay 8, Lava Lake 4, FXWX 10

Clear trend NBM trending north and east with heaviest snow band every 6 hours on the last 4 runs...

Expansion of the warning was "considered" for Middlesex County, CT but "held off", per Upton.

[Kitz Craver]

Some are bullish while others are bit gun shy to pull the trigger on the eastern extent of warning snows 

[bristolri_wx]

Euro looks to be north east as well through 30...

We will go Kuchie for an Arctic Clipper

Euro a tick NE

That is correct. When you see that signature that indicates strong upward vertical motion which will transport moisture into the DGZ and that's when you're most likely to get dendrites which accumulate efficiently. There are some other factors which need to be considered as well though. 

But here is an example from coolwx.com of the 6z NAM for BDL. This site is pretty cool if you don't have bufkit  but you can see the maximum omega bisecting the DGZ

Say you wanted to look for it on forecast soundings. What you would do is fine the DGZ (which is usually a colored as a yellow area on the temperature line) then on the left look at the omega (horizontal purple lines which indicate upward motion). The longer the lines, the stronger the lift and you want longer lines to match up to where the DGZ is.

Great, thanks!

That drops 2-5 even up here depending on ratios. We hope.

I’d hit euro.

I really wouldn't use snow maps to quantify trends with potential snow bands

Not EB anymore. Last week I saw your car there so you know this 

What's it called now?  Do they still have a bill-board on 84 still?
