Potential widespread snow event for Wednesday Night through Thursday.

I think I'll manage 1-3".

Funny you should say that becasuse I think this is very similar to the Jan pattern.

I'm not criticizing you for backing off....all info supports that conclusion and I'm going on a hunch, but lets not act as though the event has already passed; you were the one touting all season long how we can't trust models beyond 6 hrs anymore, blah, blah, blah...so get w the program and heed your own advice.

Well part of it is the gaping hole on radar to the west. Yeah some of this was expected but it's pretty bad.

Think about the children, can the poster from cT where they've closed schools get home safety in the solar glare?

It probably will come down to nowcasting. I wouldn't be shocked if we see a narrow band away from the main action further south in CT producing some snow overnight across SNE. It would probably be right on the nrn edge of those echoes near BUF. Of course, that's if confluence doesn't destroy it, but I wouldn't be shocked.

I thought the question would be is the pike area the shutoff or the MA/NH border. Seems like it may be south of even the former but we'll see.

GFS looks to be coming in flatter too. (i've only seen to h3)

It's a sweep.

thru 6 hours it's cut back on the dynamics/moisture in PA/NY pretty significantly over the 6z

LOL, the only mesoscale stuff he likes is CF type material..but rightfully so.

Those are high percentage....inv troughs on the other side of the rainbow aren't.

I wasn't knocking him for being interested in them, just those who counted on that.

My exact quote to the NAM image that Will posted of that inverted trough bullseyeing mby was "crap".....lo and behold....

Exactly....eseentially all I have been saying.

My point was that is usually just doesn't wk out....case en point.

Well yeah...but every model has been showing a hint of it. Obviously it still may not pan out, but it's intriguing to me. Some spots could get a surprise Thu night/Fri morning if the cards fall right. It's more interesting than my confluent cirrus right now.

GFS still has 0.25-0.5" for most of CT...0.5"+ in the far SW. But...probably would be a good idea to shave off about 0.1" of that, as it brings that through in this first band during the daylight hours and I think its gonna be hard for that to amount to much. Still looking like 1-3" may be the most rational call for CT, with some spots in the SW possibly seeing up to 5" overnight. Maybe if we catch a break and the models corrected too far south, we could tack on an extra inch.

It always comes down to nowcasting though.

GFS isn't too bad, only about a xx mile shift south from the 0z and about 1/2 the QPF. As Kev says, worthless model that should almost never be the first choice.

Most of CT still in the .2 to .4 type deal....

I'm around .1 to .25. Coating to 2" seems reasonable for many here in MA...maybe 1-3" in some favored locations.

Well I'd still watch for some mid level action late night. These things seemingly always appear north of what models have. It might not happen, but the GFS still has the signal.

Yeah but flip through the last 4-5 runs of the GFS on twisterdata. Not a real super terrific happy hour trend there at 700mb in terms of omega, other dynamics and QPF. Useless model.

Messengers calling for no snow anywhere in SNE..so i'm confused

Have the plows come by there yet in a pre-emptive strike?

If I were you I'd definitely ride the model you bash all the time as being worthless instead of the RGEM/NAM/EURO which are considerably less robust.

To a degree, of course, but certain situations warrant it more so than others.....tight confluent zones, especially this time of year, fall into that category.

I really wanna mess w this quote, but since you're advocating what I am selling so heavily ....lol

Exactly....final call is 1-3", here.
