Measurable means 1-3 in my book over areas outside of the western hills

I think the challenge that will be faced with this call is that it would be light qpf coming over a fairly spread out period of time. Time that will allow for the wind to wisk it away making ability to accumulate extra difficult.

I hope you're right though.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...

BOTH THE ECMWF AND THE GFS INDICATE A POSSIBLY SIGNIFICANT WINTER

STORM AFFECTING SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH POSSIBLY

MONDAY. BESIDES THIS BEING DAYS 6 AND 7...THE DIFFERENCES IN THE

MODELS MAKE THIS A VERY LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST AND WILL NOT PUT

MUCH INTO THE DETAILS AT THIS TIME. WITH THIS RUN OF THE MODELS THE

GFS HAS A COLDER...STRONGER STORM MOVING RIGHT OVER THE BENCHMARK

MONDAY MORNING WHILE THE ECMWF HAS AN INSIDE RUNNER MOVING UP MORE

DIRECTLY OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. AGAIN...THIS IS A VERY LOW

CONFIDENCE FORECAST.

From Box's AFD. Gives me some trepidations but it must freak you Eastern guys out. I'll take a compromise track right over the cape or just offshore. After the EURO's complete dominance over the GFS with this last system I'm starting to look at the GFS as a depiction of what won't happen.

That was the 12z Euro which took it over PVD and switched BOS and PVD over to rain while everyone else stayed snow.

00z Euro has no storm.

Snow all week then a biggie late next weekend and early next week? Boo-yah. Snowpack made it through the night (so happy to see 4-5" of solid cover still left this morning), will freeze up tonight along with another 3-6" per BTV... retrograde storm on Wednesday-Thursday, then the big dog. Winter's roaring back in! I feel like Kev right now... very excited about this next 7 day period.

My only fear is that the big storm takes a left turn up the Hudson late in the weekend... still looks possible given the H5 evolution and the fact that the storm is already moving due north by the time it hits NYC area. Only saving grace is it hits the block and stalls/drifts NE. If that block is less than forecast or the storm makes it further north than forecast, I could still see a somewhat inland track. And I'm not talking PVD to BOS track... I'm talking like NYC-ALB which would certainly suck everywhere.

I think this ends up being a system that buries everyone outside of 128 and all of CT/RI aside from the islands. I think even in the BOS-PVD corridor we get a good wallop of snow but it changes or mixes for a time. That's my sense out a week.

Nice, ballsy, week-out call. God's country pulling for a coastal mix, but we'll do fine if you're all snow as well (at least most of the time we will).

We'll see Jerry. It's all about getting that PV to drop down into the trough. If that happens, we go BOOM, if not we get nothing.

Not really Bob. All that has to happen is the block retrogrades and changes the angle. We don't have to go boom. All we need is a different trof axis and we have at least a moderate event.

not optimistic about a storm of large magnitude. I think we find another way though to get snow in the next week. It just doesn't seem like a good setup....well I mean too many things have to happen just so. I never like storms like that from 6-7 days out. It was fun to look at last night and read the minute by minute play calling by Earthlight.

I don't can't see this being a moderate event. I think it's balls to the walls or nada. The potential here is enormous.

Out to sea right now looks like the best bet with a hudson valley cutter a very low probability.

I think you are right on this one Jerry, Looks like it has legit potential and less likely to be a cutter we shall see.......... :weight_lift:
