Yeah that’s like 1-2/1-3 for many and 3-5 cape.

PVA is pretty damned strong in this. That’s a vigorous vortmax. Could be a quick moderate/heavy burst in there with that.

These have had surprises over the past years once they hit the Atlantic they can develop rapidly.

If the euro started to strengthen that coastal even 3-6 hours sooner you’re talking probably close to 6” in eastern ma and cape. Obviously a big ask at this lead, but those anomalies are right off the cape

Well an inch isn’t exactly poundmetwown. Friday was Poundmetown for sure…but this will probably be more of we coatingmetown.

I’ve been the only one sniffing and tracking this for many many days. Most had a fropa . A solid 1-3” event will be great

You hype up every bs event

Hazey might like these runs.

Almost like if he “only” bargains for 1-3… the coating will magically turn into one.

I’ll give him his credit though. He was right about the weekend deal and the NAM runs, but this is a completely different setup. It’s a blossoming coastal, you’re going to want to be east, and likely SE for this one if you want to hang your hat on something more substantial.

Euro gone wild on the ME coast

Everything keeps ticking slowly north and west, hopefully it keeps coming this way like the last storm kept creeping north on us 24 hours out and we ended up getting 0.9" of rain instead of mostly snow and frozen precip.

Why not just say C-2” outside the cape?

Sounds better the other way..right?  1-4”just sounds better than a C-2”, so that’s probably why he says it like that.  We know those of us in the west will get the C-1 at best, and you guys get 2”, and maybe Cape Cod can grab 3-4”.  
 

As long as you know where you stand, you can understand the KFS accumulation scale.

I’m fully thinking 1-2 here. 1 there 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Hires NAM looked a bit more organized as well.

[SouthCoastMA]

Duration will be limiting factor, due to cyclogenesis happening a bit too late. 3k would be like 2-3 hrs of snow, but still could be like 3"+ here

[ORH_wxman]

That’s a pretty big hit for midcoast and downeast. 
 

Let’s grab 1-2” down here. Want to keep seeing that vort come in really strong. That always helps to compensate a little bit for a dry system coming in from a downslope direction. It increases the lift and tries to tug some moisture from the Atlantic.

Are you reading the map correctly Stevie?

Sure am Kevvie. had you said 1-2 I think we all would have agreed.

Maine has some upside with this..CCB development in GOM is getting more established with each cycle
