All I care about now is a storm signal

The snow showers and squalls from inland PA across New England are the real deal for through New Year’s Day. Heavier snow showers than usual and lake effect bands reaching farther inland than would normally result on the backside of a Great Lakes storm. Hopefully we can get some accumulation down here New Year’s Day but models have really backed off on that and it seems like a dried out frontal passage at best now

This is probably the next period to highlight 

Another clipper type system?  Unless those get energized when they hit the coast, precip is going to be on the light side as they have no moisture to work with. From what I saw on the models southern jet is cut off from the northern one, so no sytems diving south to pick up GoM moisture, then coming up the coast for a wallop.

That’s the lowest level of QPF. Closer to Massachusetts cape that’s some more QPF and could be light snow. Probably just flurries here

That thing is starting to remind me of the clippers of yore. Which would juice up a tiny bit when it hits the Atlantic and drop a couple or 3 inches of fluff out this way. Used to love those. It's been forever.
