I think those of us in CNE will do fine. The 18z DGEX will be good weenie fodder when it comes out in a bit.

Is this your way of saying I might not be ok? lol I feel pretty good about this one. Just taking stock of this Winter so far it's been a relentless assault cold/snow. It looks to continue.

From Box's AFD:

SO THE PRESENT FCST THINKING IS THIS...PREV FCST EXPERIENCE AND

CLIMATOLOGICALLY INCLUDED...THE GEM MDL SOLN SEEMS MORE REASONABLE.

FOR THE GOING FCST WILL BLEND THE TRIO OF MDL SOLNS...GEM/ECMWF/GFS...

WITH MORE WEIGHT TOWARDS THE GEM. FROM SUCH THINKING THE PSBL

OUTCOME IS THE FOLLOWING...STRONG ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE BEGINNING TUE

MORN OF WARMER...HIGHER THETAE AIR...WILL LIFT NWD ALONG AND NORTH

OF THE SFC WRM FRNT TUE MORN INTO WED NGT. ONSET MAY BE DELAYED

TUE MORN BY THE COLDER AND DRIER LOW-MID LVL AIR IN ASSOC WITH THE

RETREATING ARCTIC RIDGE. DRIER AIR MAY PREVENT SNOW ALOFT FROM

REACHING THE GROUND. PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN AS SNOW TRANSITIONING TO

A WINTRY MIX OF SLEET...SNOW...AND FREEZING RAIN BETWEEN WED MORN

INTO MIDDAY FOR INTERIOR LOCALES IN THE COASTAL PLAIN...MORE OR

LESS RAIN FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES ALONG THE SRN NEW ENGLAND

SHORELINE...CAPE AND ISLANDS...CHANGING BACK OVER TO ALL SNOW INTO

WED NGT. BEST DYNAMIC MID-LVL FORCING IN ASSOC WITH PASSING SFC

LOW LOOKS PREVALENT AROUND THE WED NGT TIMEFRAME...SO THIS COULD

BE THE TIMEFRAME OF HEAVIEST SNOWS TO THE NW OF THE SFC LOW.

BUT AGAIN ATTENTION IS DESERVED TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT GUIDANCE AND

FCSTS WILL CHANGE IN ADVANCE OF THE STORM. FEEL A MEDIUM LVL OF

CONFIDENCE IN GOING TRENDS...YET LOW CONFIDENCE WITH REGARDS TO

TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF SFC FEATURES SUCH AS PRECIP TYPE AND

TRANSITIONS. REFER TO THE SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS

AND GEM.

TOWARDS THE END OF THE PD...ANOTHER ARCTIC HIGH PRESSES INTO THE

FCST RGN IN WAKE OF THE DEPARTING STORM. ANOTHER ROUND OF BELOW

Interesting, weighting cold.

NAM is really digging (not more suppressed), going neg tilt, no signs of a secondary popping at t+84, it doesn't look good at all

Does look like a big mess for us on the CP but I'm not exactly sure how much further north it could go with the monster PV and confluence up there blocking its progression. Might need to dig out the ski helmet if we keep getting the torched 850s heavy IP yuck.

Compare the 18z 84 hr NAM with the 90 HR 12z of other runs - there are sig differences so I wouldn't sweat it too much yet. I'm certainly not expecting 100% snow for this one but I am thinking 100% frozen is pretty likely.

i love the dgex snow map through 192 hrs..hec even the folks in the mid atlantic will love it! well the next two days as the arctic high settles in will tell the tale i guess..if its a good strong arctic high like everyone seems to think it will be then maybe this will get shunted way south over time. I am ready for some ahp to stop this torch going on out there right now.

clipper fail lol

True, but we're only talking 50-100 miles from crippling snow and ice, to decimating the snowpack and catastrophic flooding with temps in the upper 50s. The more the system digs, the more opportunity there is for the PV to recede north... which is a worrisome possibility given the surging NAO

lol @ upper 50's, I think you're being dramatic... 50-100 miles north wouldn't toast us that bad - we'd dry slot and end up in the mid-upper 30s most likely then flash freeze as the arctic high drops in after the storm.
