Figure I'd introduce myself and say Hello. I've been lurking on here for quite a few days now. A little about myself is that I live in Palmer, Ma (01069) and I'm about .7 mile south of the Mass Pike, although the wife and I will be relocating back to Ludlow, Ma (01056) sometime this winter. I'm 31 and hold a fairly stable career. I'm quite the amateur, but I'm here to expand my knowledge base. I've always had an interest in meteorology and more specifically, winter storm tracking/predicting.

I must say there is definitely a learning curve when it comes to some of the short-hand and jargon used in the forums. A key or chart stating some common-used acronyms would be a huge help to noobs such as myself. But I'm also guessing most people that join probably have more of background then myself.

I must say, as this is the first storm I've followed on here, I've already learned that models can change quite quickly and when too much is emotionally invested, it can be quite the roller coaster ride. That said, it's been entertaining watching the reactions of everyone as the models have shifted multipe times.

I look forward to learning quite a bit more as I've already learned a massive amount over the past 4-5 days. From what I've gathered, I haven't seen too many people close to my area, so if there is anything I can do observation-wise to help anyone out, please feel free to ask.

All that being said, BRING ON SOME SNOW! :santa:

I'm in Monson, about a mile south of the Pike, so must be pretty close. Enjoy whatever comes of this--

Ah yes, very close by. I'm near by the 32/20 intersection. Splitting hairs, but just took a serious look at a map and realized my current location is more likely .5 mile S of the Pike.

I'm very interested to see what our area gets. Any more SE movement would be pretty fantastic.

Ukie is a huge front end thump too....fast redevelopment on the ML low...Monads probably never flip..or just very briefly if they do.

There's a pretty darn high portion of the qpf that comes in as frozen even here in Mass. We switch to something (not sure what) which will hinder things. Man, the system just continues to unload on Maine.

I wish I were back in Rindge for this one although I'd be off-campus for Christmas break. Looks like 12-18" for elevated areas of the Monads.

GFS looks good for a front-end thump in Westchester, definitely trended colder and more similar to the Euro. I'd be thrilled to pick up 2-4" with this system.

Nah this is colder vs 18z to me. This now matched the euro pretty well I think.

Yeah it did come a bit colder than 18z...not hugely so, but it did. 12z was the coldest though. Ukie and GGEM came in colder than 12z though...so we're still trying to stabilize on the models.

00z was a tad faster though...so more QPF got in ahead of the mix line than 18z did...even though the lines were similar on an hour by hour comparison...a larger percentage of the storm was frozen on 00z.

Yes. That's my point.. And the low track I thought similar to 12 euro particularly when it exited the coast well south of sne.
