Nope. The track is fine. It's just too late. By the time the weak coastal surface low develops, the primary over the UP of Mi has done its job and pumped the 850 zero line to Montreal. The coastal can't cool things too much, it can only really stall the warming by switching the low level flow from southeast to east (maybe even ENE). All we have left then is in situ cold and whatever magic dynamics can muster.

I disagree. This is a SWFE....frequently pushing the overall synoptics a few miles makes a huge difference. It's overrunning and 50 miles further south would mean a stronger cold push.

I love that another warm SWFE comes right after that ~130 hr storm misses to the east and rips down cold air. pathetic.

edit; may have jumped the gun on that.

I'm much more interested in what appears to be 1 or maybe 2 threats 12/21-22 and or 12/24-25. Two significant chances I think there JMHO. Will have to see how that evolves. I see nothing of excitement ON THE GFS with these first two pulses.

Averaging about 12 meteors per 5 minutes. Many multiples.

Well let's say it's got alot of work to do...

NAM would be some snow to rain. GFS is light for system 1 with system 2 too little too late probably. But tons of time to change still.

Yeah I've got the feeling it's gonna be yet another cold rainer for Boston. After last winter I'm getting sick and tired of these lol.

Euro looks like it would have surface temps in the 45-50 range during the height of the second storm in almost all of MA/CT/RI from Hartford to Portsmouth south and east, 40-40 northwest of there with maybe a tiny area of sub 40 up towards MRG land. It's not really even close PER the model. I think frozen is confined pretty far north.

For part 1 the euro scours out the cold LL air pretty quickly and doesn't seem to have much QPF? Overall the OP Euro is not our friend JMHO.

The euro does have some weird appendage hangback low it tries to develop off Cape Cod. Maybe a savior and then it has the makings of the next torture into stale air already forming.

192hrs looks like we have a new storm?

Models are bouncing around the 21/25 time period. There's going to be a system that redevelops/develops off/near the coast and moves up. That's going to be our chance of a white xmas for many.

As a side note the GGEM has totally flopped/flipped too. Totally different at 12z Tue now with a low redeveloping off NJ and critical thicknesses in Canada. Last run we had a low moving away with the ct's moving south through our region.

We're going to need lots of movement for these first two to work out in SNE. I have high hopes for the 22nd or 25th event(s)....we'll see. It may end up being one storm earlier in the period but we've been down this road this week and realize dates are TBD.

BTW the 0z OP Euro blows up the idea of the continental cold moving down and the low hanging well off the left coast. It's make or break with that complex around the 22-25th. Low is moving ashore on the west coast and the high never came down and is pinched into Canada.

In a way that's not terrible as once the big low it develops around the 22nd grudges east another wave begins to develop in the deep south. So it's probably running with the 2 storm idea between the 22nd and the 25th.

Someone's obsessed with Xmas snow. Dude it's December 14. No way to tell what happens in the days before Xmas.

Man the ECM looks pretty darn good for NNE... Maine gets absolutely smoked by both storms. Dryslot and Jayhawk shoveling for days. Looks lighter out this way, but still about 3 days of mood snows and wintery precip.

We'll take it.

6z GFS continues to look horrific though. Thank god we've been told that's the worst model and to throw its entire package out ;)
