It might be a fine line between the best moisture closer to the warm air and the part of the atmosphere that can support snow. The fact that the cold bleeds south is probably keeping it more flat, but also...helping aid in cold air advection. What you want to see is that ribbon of QPF on radar that blossoms northeast. This would be a sign of frontogenesis.

Overall trend is definitely in the direction of suppression for the first wave. We are also in the period when model guidance kind of loses a storm, so that could be it, or we could be swinging more weight to the second system. Onward, to the 00z suite!

18z GFS? I'm expecting a huge bomb on that one with the second storm... Its gonna be the day 5 ultimate weenie run every big storm has.

EC ens have 0.25"+ QPF way up into N VT/NH although it was cut back from 00z. The midpoint of each 6hrly 0.10"-0.25" closed contour appears to run near the MA border into S NH. 00z had 2 6hrly intervals with a large swath of 0.25-0.50" and this run has nothing that heavy.

Accumulation is going to be minimal outside the heavier rates too. So 0.25" might not be anything

I'm hoping the first wave comes back (obviously). A lot more confident banking on that one, than the coastal

The flatter the first wave, the faster, and the further south ... = Overall less chance of snow for the region

The nam is still fast in general. The Euro, even though flatter than the 12z NAM is still mostly a nighttime event for SNE, while GFS is mostly day time like 18z NAM...between 00z and 09z on the Euro. But I agree that a little more amped will help this system slow down.
