gfs may have come slightly west, I guess 0Z runs will finalize things.. I'm going with 3-6" for 128 belt, more confident with the 3 part..

I'm going 1-3" here from the Canal up through Plymouth County down to about New Bedford. I don't know on the Cape they should have enough precip for 2-4" if there aren't temp issues haven't looked that closely but will tonight. I think it's close but no cigar so far, I do like the subtle trend towards a stronger system on the 18z NAM/GFS and maybe the RGEM. It's going to be a rapidly strengthening but fast moving system. Anyway the 18z GEFS might help to clarify.

Dt also has this in his writeup..This is the real deal folks. I suggest you hop on..Who's with me, DT and Noyes?

This Low IS going to BOMB OUT southeast of Cape Cod and it's probable that much of southeastern Massachusetts could see over 12" of snow fromthis system.

Then why does he have his highest amounts in nne???

Something to consider..Dendrite posted the other day he got 1.25 inches on Xmas Day with .03 qpf

Don't fall through on your 4-8" by bringing high ratios into this at this juncture...there is some part in the back of my mind that can see this thing becoming more amplified than modeled, but we will see.

I think 0z will sample that s/w over the SW better...you can already see the 18z runs having it stronger.

Are there any sane mets out there anymore?

Apparently not. lol. It's amazing what happens to a meteorologist who does not agree with the consensus of this blog. I just read through 4 pages of people talking about Matt because he thinks it is going to snow to the Canadian border.

I don't see how you can disagree with him on the point. If you look at the qpf output from the models, this is true. Even the CA/US border receives some amount of qpf from this event.

In defense of Matt, he says he expects a decent snow storm. He has not thrown out any totals yet, so it sounds as if we are assuming he means 10"+. Which I am sure he does not. But these days, a decent snow storm in the coastal plain is 3".

And asking what is rationale is, what do you want him to do? Get into the atmospheric dynamics on air? lol

Some of these forecasts are remarkably bullish

I'm wondering what it's all based on.

So.....looks like the NW trend is over for now.

Jerry I think the only trend is towards a consolidated, rapidly deepening low that develops so late it barely clips SE New England with the heavier stuff. Less QPF distributed to the NW in favor of a tighter system. Let's see if that's legit in the 0z tonight.

I guess DT forgot to to consult with the HPC office............... :whistle:

I posted the HPC 120 hour storm forecast position as a hard link in the previous storm thread. They nailed it. I like this QPF map for SE New England (not commenting on any other area). that seems about right with the .5" line somewhere over Cape Cod, .2/5 somewhere south of boston trailing back towards Fall River.

This is true - he hasn't actually tossed amounts. He could be thinking 2-4 lol

OKX is thinking it's a moderate event:

Congrats, Steve. Sit back and enjoy a beet.

That's what I expect for NW Mass--expect a bit more than that further east.

This is a better HPC image. Lines up with my current thinking...except in NW Mass.

Dare I ask what that thought about western Mass? Probably trying to find a color to designate cirrus.
