Taunton leaning on the side of caution:

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...

BULK OF THE STORM IMPACTS THE RGN. ASIDE FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED

DETAILS...FEEL THE BANDING OF PRECIP PSBL THRU SRN NEW ENGLAND WILL

RESULT IN DYNAMIC COOLING DOWN TO THE WET BULB WHICH SHOULD BE CLOSE

IF NOT BELOW FRZG. ACCORDINGLY...WOULD ANTICIPATE A WET SNOW BUT

SIMULTANEOUSLY WILL NEED TO CONTEND WITH A VERY WARM SFC /AS WE ALL

ARE AWARE...MARCH HAS BEEN WELL-ABOVE NORMAL FOR TEMPS/. HAVE KEPT

SNOWFALL AMNTS LIGHT AND SITUATED MAINLY ACROSS NRN AND WRN MA INTO

SRN NH...PSBLY INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF CT. CANT RULE OUT SNOW

ACROSS A MAJORITY OF THE FCST AREA...BUT ACCUMS MAY BE DIFFICULT.

OVRNGT MINS AROUND THE FRZG MARK FRI NGT INTO SAT MORN. AS FOR

HIGHS SATURDAY...FEEL THE COMBINATION OF CLOUDS AND PRECIP WILL KEEP

HIGHS IN THE UPR 30S TO LOW 40S /LEANED THE LOW SIDE OF GUIDANCE

INCORPORATING 2M SFC TEMPS AND WET-BULB ANALYSIS...MOS GUIDE MAY BE

TOO WARM BUT OF ANY CONSIDERATION THE METNAM IS A FIRST GOOD

CHOICE/. PRECIP TYPES LIKELY TO BE IRONED OUT AS WE GET CLOSER IN

TIME /THERE WILL BE AN OVERRUNNING TONGUE OF WARM AIR AROUND H8 BUT

ITS NWD EXTENT MAY REMAIN ALONG THE S COAST/.

Luckily we have all weekend for the models to advertise a decent snow somewhere in NE and then can enjoy watching the Euro dash any hope by monday morning.

Glad i am in the bulls eye now, We all know how that goes this far out, Golf season is under way here i hope it slides south and nails you guys

Still a good long range signal for a NNE upslope event next week after the brief warm-up early in the week.

Liking the whole cut-off and stacked look with the mid-level features just to the northeast... pinwheeling moisture and vorticity could lead to a nice snow event.

By that juncture, any snow that falls means nothing to anyone but mountain dwellers ;) The April sun vaporizes snow in the valleys and even up top to some extent :/

Day by day, we inch upward in climo. Frankly, this pattern just came too late to interest me much. Give me back my 60s+.

By April, I think baseball, rejuvenation, and true Spring, not late season snow that lasts for 3 hours OTG after it stops.

exactamundo!

Oh yeah... but this is a "Early April Winter Pattern" thread and that's a winter set-up right there.

I'll still take a couple/few inches to pad the seasonal totals... plus with the ski resort closing, it'll be awesome for skinning/hiking and skiing untracked powder all day long.

Plus I'm telling you this is the type of set-up that'll surprise people if it breaks right... tell that to folks in BTV who didn't think they'd get any snow only to see 6" with 18" in the suburbs/western slope communities on April 29th, 2010.
