I voted yes.. Euro eats crow.. I think we will see warning snows on the cape at least.

If only the Cape gets snow, I'm not sure that is really the Euro eating crow...I would think if we can get warning criteria snow back to about I-95, then I'd say it eats crow. I'm starting to think it might though even using that definition.

This has to be the most unbelievable model disparity to date! really is quite something.

I guess I have a pretty low standard for "eating crow" when it comes to the Euro. But I see your point since the corresponding 12z run of the GFS was warning criteria for most of CT/MA/NH/VT. The euro was definitely mostly correct with the CA s/w as the GFS has trended much flatter with that already (although it remains to be seen if it will be a little more amplified than the 12z Euro). So in reality it would be more like the 18z GFS and 00z NAM beating the old Euro run.

It might look liek this

That would be AWFUL for this area...that's a pretty extreme QPF gradient but is probably to be expected. That's another issue were going to have to contend with as we get closer to Saturday night/Sunday...if it does appear that at least a portion of the region is going to be affected it could be a major pain trying to figure out the QPF placement if we do indeed see such a tight gradient...a shift of even 20-30 miles west/east could have HUGE implications on where the heaviest snow totals occur.

You might have to try some that stuff that Miley is puffing to calm your nerves if that verifies. :thumbsup:

look at the temps...looks like the 30degree isotherm cuts through ct with the 35 coming up to the ct coast and into se mass, no?

Using the sfc temps is usually not the way to determine R/S line...given the way that low is ripping northerly winds at the sfc, you'd probably see most areas in the mid to upper 20s. Models are notoriously bad with sfc temps. The R/S line would probably be somewhere on the Cape in that setup.

Some of you CT guys are obsessed with giving SE SNE rain out of this. Don't hug the 2m temps so closely...especially with that track.

Yeah with the track I don't think the 2m temps would actually be that warm, anyways were still a little too far out to really be worrying about 2m temps, plus if it's still quite cold aloft in the lower levels and we have good omega values it would still probably snow even if temps are a bit above 32F

:lol:

I don't think that is the right stuff to do.

I'm fully prepared though not to see much of anything from this, I'm expecting a rather tight snowfall gradient from east to west and I realize I might need a pretty decent westward shift for me to get some decent snows.
