Stop the bleeding in his ears from the lack of air pressure.

I wonder if there will be school in Tolland on Friday...may need some mountain sherpas to guide the bus drivers.

It's CT, they've probably already cancelled right through to next Tuesday.

lol.. Kevin better put his shovel away and get the rain gauge out on the GFS..... everyone for that matter. Could this turn into a NNE snowstorm AWOT

What are you talking about...the GFS looks like a lot of other guidance.

I don't like accumulating snow on the cp in October. I have seen Will's rationale but for Boston it's a damper on winter. JMHO.

With that said...I'm a weenie so....bring it! Snow cover on both sides of the pole is looking way better.

I was in Birmingham,AL since Sunday...just back today. The cool raw day feels great!

Is the 18z GFS out yet?

Your 320" forecast for here is looking good right out of the gate. Nice call.

340 was the call for you.

I just looked at 18z FOUS.....

[Mr Torchey]

Had to do a double take on my way home, and yep there it was.

I'll make it easy for you. That red line is the modeled temp profile of the atmosphere. The scale on the left is in millibars but notice you have meters there too. Notice the lines that slant up and to the right. Those are isotherms. Just follow that red line up through the atmosphere and you can see how it crosses the corresponding isotherms.

Way late I know, but thanks for the tips on this.

That's funny cause i feel just the opposite.I like to see a slushy inch in late Oct.

18Z GFS brushes eastern areas with snow later Saturday. Amazing!

Do you think maybe your monitor was upside down when you were viewing it?

[TheCloser24]

What does the 18z GFS show for the weekend storm?

[Boston-winter08]

What does the 18z GFS show for the weekend storm?

grazes cape, se ma (out to 495 w/ flurries)...decent push west from 12z

[Damage In Tolland]

Another nice bump west for the weekend storm..Looks like it may be a decent 00z run tonight with another bump west..Just like winter..Early practice for us

[Baroclinic Zone]

Miller B go boom next week on 18z Gooooooofus.

Cool, he's way ahead of the game, now when your first snow falls in January he's all set.

[CapturedNature]

I didn't see one for BOX but ALB has a snowfall map up.

Conservative and rightly so.

Nah, he is probably from Ridgefield or something 20 minutes away and a shade under 800 asl, higher terrain in fairfield cty will accumulate over the next 4 days.

The Davis works fine..just the connection to the mesomap won't link up

I'm telling you, give Cumulus a try. Here's a link right to the download file:

http://sandaysoft.com/download/CumulusSetup.exe

Download it, then install it. Plug your Davis in and it will recognize it and start retrieving data from it. Then click on Configuration and select Internet. Check the box for Wunderground, enter your ID and password and you'll be on the map within an hour.

Psst, Blizz doesn't really want to be hooked up.

Cool...I'll try doing that over the next day or so

[CT Rain]

One thing to watch is some bad snow growth tomorrow. The NAM at 21z looks good at first look for BDL and ORH but there's a dry tongue above 600mb (where the -10c isotherm is) that could be problematic.

[ski MRG]

Looks like Will was right back mid-month when he said the end of the month would cut into any early month positive departures. Looks well below normal to close out the month.

[CT Rain]

My forecast now includes a slushy inch of accumulation for Kevin and the rest of the NW and NE hills of CT.

Further north I think 1-3" in the hilly terrain of western and central Massachusetts... maybe a spot 4" amount in some of the higher spots >1500 or 2kft.

[Mr Torchey]

Yes he was and good timing too, as BOS is +6.1 and ORH +4.0 for the month.

Not for long.
