When? I was watching and missed this. He was in fur OT yes? House full of people for birthday so I wasn’t 100% paying attention.

You'd never know it from his post-game sideline interview.

Second to last play when he moved the ball in between the hash to set up the FG apparently.

NAM looks exceptional in the soundings too during the evening hours for a time. Lots of cross hair sig showing up. Hopefully it’s correct.

I believe it was the QB draw to the left side, the play before the deep pass interference inside the 10-yard line. Payton clarified in his press conference.

At least we'll have snow on the ground when the mild down comes in later on.

That game should not have been decided on penalties not called all game until OT.

That 00z RRFS looks sweet. Develops an 850 circulation prior to passing by. Solid hit.

Yeah the pre is early, widespread, and a definite booster.

I’ve seen that before… That’s 2 to 3”

Then, if you get five on top of that boom, you’ve got a warning 8 inches in 24 hours

I think that’s the rule don’t quote me

There’s a lot of “hangback” snow showing up on the mesos and even the euro kind of had it. Pretty robust IVT sig. Sometimes those can tack on an unexpected inch or two…esp when you get colder on the back end and even low level lift is in the DGZ.

Anxiously awaiting the 0z NAM bufkit.

yeah was it the bosa roughing the passer play? which also had a DPI that got them to the 8?

yeah, Vortex95 mentioned that earlier… I asked if that had any norlun signature in the sounding to it … Not an exact match, but did kind of look that way. No answer, but I haven’t gone to look myself.

RGEM is a little less exciting

Best shot at tomorrow....man, just get this over....what a PIA.

It looks like you have yourself in the 3-6 zone.  Good luck!

[HoarfrostHubb]

4” on top of today’s 5” would be nice.

“Relax man“?

- you do succeed at one thing,  dissuading me from even wanting to read that thing 

A beer on me whenever I can make it to a gtg… I think you’re misreading, relax man was completely benevolent and earnest.

Quick glance at 0z NAMs and RGEM, I see no reason to change my call from earlier: 

generally 2-4" eastern SN, spots 3-6" on south shore and Cape, 2-3" around Worcester area and less further west

and an awesome snowy atmosphere at Foxboro

 

[weatherwiz]

Just going through some bufkit soundings but here is New Haven, CT

1. You can see the deep DGZ but also look at the time period around that AM stuff...ratios up around 20:1 with some strong lift then again during the evening. If this morning band verifies snow rates could approach 1-1.5" per hour

Final Call:

Good map. Yeah this is a tough forecast. My reasoning: I figured mid level forcing would be best further southeast, so I thought 3-6 more likely further southeast MA maybe into northeast RI. And best stuff there after 7pm when BL temps and ratios are improved. But maybe if the pre stuff early afternoon and better ratios deliver, I could see 3-6 expanded further northwest.

[CCHurricane]

Widespread 3-6 should get the job done for all of SE New England.
