I don't see a stoppage of the NW trend, unlike before snowtober, we have no real blocking before the storm and the polar vortex looks to be too slow to kick this thing far enough east to give SNE good snows unless you live in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.

Sounds good.

No, what is actually happening now is that the PV is phasing with it, and that is like ...giving it the keys to the executive lounge so to speak. Otherwise the original conception would have been clad. But with this new phasing tendency the low jumps west across the isopleth (geopotential lines) as it fuses in with the PV.

Note the storm drills to 960mb passing N of Maine. This time yesterday, it was a filling wave passing S of NS.

I can see how the comment about boobs specifically would be over the top given the situation.

All I saw was this word, and I quickly assumed that I was in the wrong (or possibly right) thread. Then I went back in time to see how it all began.

. . . Bottom line, we need some snow, and we need it soon, or SNE will implode on itself. The Grinch will ride down from the top of Mt Tolland and wreak havoc on innocent Christmas trees throughout the low lying valley. Nooses will be hung by the chimney with no care in hopes that the rope will help end our dispair.

i dunno......

Look at NAM FOUS and you have BOS flipping to snow with about 2 hours of thumping at 12Z.

I remember having these discussion of a good wrap around on the Snowtober storm at about 2 days lead.

And then it just kept going further NW and what we got was 1-2 hours of snow falling onto a warm ground.

What was once a miss to the se, not long ago, is now a ski country snowstorm as expected, time to wax em' up and head north, the hinterlands await

Yeah this one is big for them. With no signs of a all out blowtorch for them on the horizon this one will have staying power. If they can get a good 6-18" (measured with wobbly resort stick) that's great news.
