I refuse to get excited for this. Remember how the EC was a consistently cold model for the last event. GFS, while it trended cooler continued to be the warm model showing mostly ip/zr with little snow. The GFS was closer to reality than the EC come game-time, and many of us still have crusty ice to show for it. The lead up to this already has a starting point warmer than the last. I anticipate we'll find the press and NE flow are overdone. 34* rain south of the pike with a little sleet between the pike and Rt 2, and a more veritable wintry mix north of Rt 2. A Hippy kind of winter and an 'at last' for Jeff and Lava.

Much better than the mall!

OT sitting here at the Natick mall as my daughter shops, all I can think of is thank God for mobile devices/internet. This sucks!

Thx

Pit 2 is midway between the 4-8-1 at KIWI and the 1-6 for NAS. Maine new year might be calling.

For pwm?

Imagine if this were snow. until we get closer in, I’m hanging with Dave on the meh front. Pain in the ass shoveling of sleet.

Let me try and contain my excitement. Is it snow for Maine? On the other hand, it's better than rain.

It hasn't happened, but he's ahead of the models.

I think 99.9% would take a less-impact 1' of powder over anything other than 13" of less impact powder. I tend to meh ice threats. The set-up for anything major is so delicate it rarely amounts to anything major. Of course, when it does amount to major, it can be devastating. Sort of like living along the San Andreas.

And for south of you, take that minus the snow. Could be decent for GC. An extra special December for there.

We have no room for northern ticks like last time. Lots of time of course, but we don’t have a lot of cold signal like earlier as we did at this timeframe in the prior event. And we all know how that trended in the final 24 hours.

We could use another few ticks of trend.

The call to go to Pit2 is growing louder.

I edited my comment......the maps Steve posted were 10-day maps. The amounts might have been the same had he done it for 4 days.

Ray's early call was. Not the maps that Steve (and others?) posted. EDIT: they're day 10 maps, but perhaps there's no difference between the Sunday event and then.

Are we talking 1/5???? Clown maps for a D9 event. lol

A fair amount of banter yesterday in response to the post above. I'm suddenly thinking a visit to Pit2 might be in the cards.

18z GFS seems to be coming in a little colder for the beginning of the week.

The fact that you were able to see things on the internet while you were in high school makes me feel very, very old.

I have another decade or so until that blessed event. I can’t wait.

I read that the same way. Trick of the eyes.

Hopefully near enough to the pike.

Keep it trending more.
