SREF is better.

I will be able to smell the snow, lol

Quite a rollercoaster ride today

Much better than 18Z

Worse

On the other hand, the ICON might be better.

This reminds me alot of the 1980 March blizzard. The same timing. I remember back then they were expecting 1-3 inches of snow Sat with an upper lvel disturbance, and that was it. My younger brother asked me if it would be ok to go to VA Tech to see his girlfriend. He was going to head home Sat night. I said sure and he ended up stuck on the road, lol. We got some really big fat flakes and about 2 inches Sat morning and it stopped. Late that afternoon it started back up as the coastal deepened far more than expected. It was fun watching all the networks playing catch-up the rest of the storm.

Watches should be up tomorrow am

Still snowing for many and a major edge

Big edge, lol

You have to click that little thing twice

Alot more moisture

Maybe the euro will edge NW

Wakefield Still, the highest PoPs will be later Saturday through early Sunday as the coastal system rapidly intensifies and makes its closest approach to the area. PoPs range from 70-90% along the coast with likely PoPs from most of the remainder of the CWA. Snow comes to an end late Sunday afternoon/evening. Reduced visibility will also be possible with any falling snow, especially along the coast as wind gusts increase to 40 to 50+ mph along the coast and 30 to 35 mph further inland Saturday evening into Sunday. There is at least the potential for blizzard conditions, especially along the immediate coast. As mentioned above, impacts will vary across the region, but the synoptic setup supports the potential for a high-impact winter storm. Additional messaging and potential headlines may be needed late tonight or Thursday. Please continue to follow the latest forecast.

Much mproved. . Ric should get at least 6 when all is said and done
