coming down pretty good here with excellent snow growth. looks like a snowglobe outside

Yes, I think some need to realize that forecasting is more than just taking 8 seconds to look at QPF/snow maps and then creating a forecast

Probably get a nice CCB that goes bonkers just in time to get the Cape. Going to be a heavy, wet snow there

Looks like the 12z is curling the vort a bit more at 33hr compared to 6z...maybe even 0z

Yup...have to give credit where credit is due and this truly ends up being the case that is a major win in the AI camp and maybe even builds some confidence moving forward in which camp to follow should we see significant discrepancies between AI and traditional modeling. Now, that doesn't mean the results would be the same moving forward but this is a big confidence boost

This applies for for western areas as I do think eastern Mass/Cape stand a good chance for several inches of snow but I have major reservations about how much farther west appreciable QPF gets. I would like to see better dynamics overall to validate this. For example, on the ICON...I think that western edge would be nothing more than just some snow showers with putrid snow growth. Probably going to be an eastern Mass event with the cutoff back west to maybe around ORH

Back when the OV was getting that barrage of clippers there were multiple times that model was bringing good snows through Chicago while most other guidance was well south and Chicago ended up getting nada

That model gives me a headache

Yup...I want to see Euro/GFS continue with this. This has the makings of yet another big cutoff...I would feel much better if I was farther east for a bigger hit. I really have no clue where to lean right now lol. this is nuts

yup...that is going to be a big key I think

This is so tough...not sure exactly how much I'm sold on that much QPF extended back west.

Please let these trends continue 12z today.

1.3” nice!

Looks like recon is out...not sure if related to the storm but seems to be sampling along and within the Gulf
