I consider myself near the “pike” zone because I’m only about 10 miles SE of downtown BOS as the crow flies. I actually have latitude. So I’m not sold on those amounts at this time.
It’s more about the arm of confluence. As long as that can lift north it will help bring that snow shield north. But it’s only going to shift so much. I’d like it to shift more since I think some dry air will try to work into this area.
