Enlighten me...all I have heard is that he thinks it will come north...why???

I thought he was talking about the widespread areas of snow. I didn't hear his rationale on why it will come north. Maybe he thinks it's because of a sharp vortmax and the baroclinic zone so close to the US east coast? IMO if it does come north, it's not the best logic to use.

Matt Noyes write-up - So...the question becomes, how quickly does this transition to a faster flow evolve - at this point, it looks like the mean flow will be fast enough to keep a Saturday evening to Sunday morning snowstorm moving quickly enough to keep snow totals from becoming remarkable, but in a snow-starved Southern New England, even a six to eight inch event - certainly well within the realm of possibility - would be welcomed by snow lovers.

Where are you getting totals? I dont see a HWO or anything in the point and fails?

From the AFD. The 3-5 bit I imagine will be a game time decision... so when they release the afternoon package shortly we'll see what the final numbers are. I think we're good for an inch or so down this way. If things tick NW maybe two. Out towards BDR and HVN maybe 2 or 3, and GON 3 or 4.

Not bad though. He had 4-6 for central MA. There was 4-6, with some areas of 7 or 8. He had one of the better forecasts. His forecasts for SNH were good. CT he busted. Everyone busted in Central NH in the screw zone.

I saw 4" up almost to SNH. The precip shield fractured, everyone was going on warm mid level temps, but if the shield didn't break apart, it would have given ORH area more snow. I think models did poorly with that, but there were red flags like having the deep RH move north quickly.

I'm not throwing out ANYTHING until tomorrow. I think HVN eastward sees 3+ but it's too early to say much else.

Oh, I didn't know it was that low. I agree it wasn't the greatest forecast for sure, but it was better than the NWS. And yeah, I never expected Tolland to get the same/slightly more snow than me. What a fail.

Not many did well including myself. I really didn't anticipate the precip shield pooping the bed like that.
