Some people in CT are worried about rain though.

Well I still wouldn't rule out a potential monster phase that rips this up the HV or CT Valley...but I think the chances of that happening have been steadily fading over the past 36-48 hours or so.

So actually we saw both 18z op and ens. go east if you think about it

There is still probably and open wave or two on the ensembles that skew the mean at this range. The 18z op was certainly not east of the 12z.

what's your thoughts right now rev kev? you likin this in general?

Whether you care or not, I'm liking this one alot. I'd say this is our longest sustained legitimate threat of the season. The ensembles have been better then the op in some cases and it leads me to believe that at the very least interior SNE is going to get pounded one way or another. A little early for a lock in.. but I think New England will see substantial snow next weekend.. (notice how I kept out where)

Can't see an inland runner out of this. I think we got a MECS, a scraper, or an OTS

Taking a look at the GFS ensembles, not feeling the greatest right now. Tough to bet against the GEFS, euro, and canadian

18z GFS is like two and a half feet of snow for you, lol. Massive synoptic moisture, plus long duration NE upsloping flow into the east slopes... jesus h

LOL, that would be very nice. Hopefully we'll see the Euro cave toward the 18z GFS with the 00z run.

It also has some pretty far east to.......

Yes it does. If the Euro stays status quo tonight, this will be possibly morphing into an eastern New England threat...too early to call it that yet, but we'll need to start seeing some guidance go more bullish to the west.

Yeah, All these other models are fun to look at and raises hopes but, If we can't get the Euro onboard thats all it will be for entertainment purposes only.........

Well, I think it's pretty well documented that when the 18zGFS shows a major hit the Euro typically latches on to the idea eventually.

:lol:

Yeah lots of research on that. 18z GFS dominates the Euro in the case of medium term major northeast blizzards.

Its almost like most are trying every which way to see how this could fail. I am simply enjoying the chase, looking forward to some snow this weekend. nam and ukmet dgex and nogaps all going west, euro holds serve or a tick west, and gfs delivers another blockbuster but gefs go east..........its fantastic!

My purely gut feeling is still that the Euro goes a little west tonight. I suppose you could argue that the UKMET/GFS (NAM/DGEX and NOGAPS to lesser extents) having a bomb up the coast and the 12z ensemble mean being more amplified than the op would forshadow the move, but from past experience we all know that Dr. No sometimes doesn't give a damn.

I think all of SNE will see accumulating snow..most likely we'll see a compromise..Euro will obviously come west some and GFS already has started its east shift. I suspect 0z might be well east.

I don't think this will be a KU, but a solid snow event for all of us

I'm just glad we are really beginning to totally discount the idea of an inland runner. I'd rather take something that looks more on the suppressed side now and something with some phasing issues than something that appears to be tracking to the west of us. As Kevin always says, in Nina's everything trends NW :D

How eerily similar (threat wise, not so much synoptically) to 12/19/09. Day 5-6 storm threat for the Mid Atlantic, only finally trending markedly west in the final 54-72 hours to wallop SNE. And because 12/18/09 I flew from DC-PVD three hours before the snow hit, only to be flying this year on 12/19.

100-120 hours out and needing a 100-200 mile trend west? I wouldn't necessarily be concerned.

I tentatively agree, but still wouldn't be shocked at a scraper.

Tough to argue against fact.

Yup, it wouldn't be any fun if they were all etched in stone. I like the ones that break positively inside 48 hrs. It doesn't happen very often but it does happen.
