PWMan

How does the ME coast look? Assuming we're tenuous at best in this setup.

PWM-land right on the edge between nuisance and something semi-substantial (which I'd define as >3"). We've overperformed in a couple of somewhat similar setups recently. Will be interesting to watch how it unfolds.

Regardless of any temp crash Saturday night into Sunday, this is a disaster for most of ski country. I'm meeting up with old friends for a long-planned weekend in NH, and it's looking like we'll be playing board games and going outlet shopping rather than hitting the slopes.

I'm sure things will turn around by the end of the month, and then everyone can start focusing on the inevitable "relaxation" and increased sun angles. At least we get an extra day of February this year.

I'd be thrilled with an inch or two given the fact that this looked like a straight rainer a few days ago.

In the words of the great Steven Wright, I'm a peripheral visionary.

Quite an over-performer around here, with around 13-14" in my corner of Scarborough. Driving up 95 this morning it flipped from light rain back to snow right around PWM.

First time posting this season... I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the pages of climate-change discussion indicate a lack of snow threats in the immediately foreseeable future.

With a few exceptions, we don't tend to do quite as well in these blockbuster scenarios. For the most part we've meh'd our way to decent seasonal totals, and we'll have coverage longer than SNE (though some would argue that's not necessarily a good thing this time of year). This was an odd one in that we were on the northern fringe of the goods but also had marginal temps. We were at or just above freezing for most of the storm. Ended up with about 6" here, but while out clearing the driveway it looked like only about 4" on most paved surfaces - with some bare spots under trees.

Impressive how so many events - even the small ones - have managed to underperform. Glad the folks in SE CT, RI and SE Mass are finally getting some.

That new GYX map looks almost identical to the old one - actually pulls the 24+ line back south a bit, despite references in the AFD to increased totals. Obviously splitting hairs at this point...

Loved this morning's AFD, with the reference to the "concerns" about reaching 20" totals. You know it's a great storm when that's the forecast worry. I have no jackpot fetish, but do find it funny that we could end up with 18" here and that would represent only half of what some in SNE get.
