Not that anyone cares but the models sucked with this storm. The Euro, HRRR, and NAM from last night had 0.50 to 0.85 for most of CT and instead it was only a couple tenths. GFS actually  did the best as it was much drier.

EPS has a nice signal for this storm later this week. Way better than 12z.

yea AIENS as well, after we get this first turd out of the way,

6Z GFS was pretty sweet in clown range

0.6 on the board.  combo of sleet snow and rain.

[CoastalWx]

I think the one thing that concerns me the most is that all the good moisture that this thing needs to wrap in is way offshore. That’s why the euro is fairly meager with precip. It’s straining to get anything into the conveyor belts and dump precip. That I don’t like.

We are in a lull but snow will happen again. This is New England it snows here. And yes the 2010’s will eventually walk through the door. Larry bird might not walk through the door but Tatum might!! 

I think this goes far beyond a lull...this has been a multi year significant snow drought...

[CoastalWx]

It’s hilarious that shortwave struggles to generate advisory snow. What a winter. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

I’d like to see that southern stream energy get absorbed into that northern stream sooner, so we can have that bowling ball mature sooner and be an able to wrap in all that southern energy. If, not we are left with this discombobulated mess of a storm.

I really would love to get a pretty epic snowstorm. It's been quite a while. But, I'd rather get several smaller ones to get everything covered up again over a period of the next month, rather then waiting for the big one to come and not showing up at all

E Mass Wx will be issuing first calls today 

[Kitz Craver]

I’m all set with a 1-3” event. We have seen plenty of “dinkleshit” snows. It ain’t the holidays anymore, time to get real.

Is it that hard to get a 6” event? FFS.

With H5 looking like that, it’s a damn shame.

It just fits the last several seasons of disappointment. I hope we see some changes today, but I’m with you. Torch it and give me 60F instead of a slowly sublimating leaf blower event. 

[Kitz Craver]

The vort from hell, that’ll give you 1”. Gotta love it.

[UnitedWx]

It wouldn't surprise me to watch this end of the week thing slowly disappear on the models over the next few days and start to focus on the 19th time frame. To me it has the look that they just don't know what to focus on yet
