CT river valley doing its dirty work keeping the due north wind component and draining those cold dews south...This is gonna be my first true marginal event out of sw CT so I am interested to see how it plays out. Any snow I do see will almost certainly be a bonus from if I were down in Central NJ near the coast.

I think that drainage will surprise you.

Every single one has 2-4" for you..actually one had 1-3"...I just don't get it. This is already over performing as far as snow to our south.

I mean some maps from NH/ME outlets have 1-2" or nothing for us...even Noyes who is usually bullish has 4"'. This is just odd.

I'm hoping the storm over performs here as well, but I'll be thankful for 2-3 inches of snow. My major concerns is the projected track of the storm, the strong winds off the ocean ,and the so-so air mass in place. If one of those were not in play I'd feel a whole lot better about higher accumulations.

TV mets are often prodded by their producer to up their totals so please keep that in mind when viewing the TV met snowfall maps.

Fair enough. And I certainly hope I'm not coming across as disrespectful. Certainly they have their reasoning and I could be wrong.

I'm thinking king pine in maine foothills is a solid spot. Lots of cute b and b's in area. If you can find a spot aoa 800' I think you'd be golden jerry

Scooter?

Anyway, King Pine is actually in NH ... juuuust over the border. At any rate, they will get drilled.

Good (and cute) b&b in Limerick, ME, Jerry - Jeremiah Mason House.

I'm thinking Springfield/Northampton may get a real good thumping. I know the TV mets are going like 1-3 there but this kind of event where you're just ripping snow from strong warm advection... plus great dendritic growth... should allow them to go to town.

Thank YOU!!! Now I can really Weenie OUT!!!!! :weenie: :weenie: :weenie: :weenie:

I just don't understand where the numbers were taken from. That shows 3-6 for the east slope of the Berks where I think a foot is very possible lol

You gotta realize that TV met maps will only be valid for their viewing area. A TV guy from Portland, ME isn't going to spend a lot of time on what will happen in the Berkshires.

North Conway is probably 2.5 for Jerry. You want to be on the east side of the mtns for this. My area near the lake actually downslopes with NE winds from the Ossipees sometimes. Usually near Gunstock and north to Conway gets crushed with this setup.

He also needs tobw un a place he can get out and walk arou d....one if the towns on the lake?

Damn the GGEM is cold!!!

Maybe we can eek out some ratios.....

I agree. Front end thump moves in like a wall and boy the globals are really cold.

Think SWFE for the first part and then when CT/RI dry slot the fun continues NW of ORH in NNE.

There's quite a lot of NE between ORH and NNE.......what's going on there?? lol

I wonder if I can rip a 30-40kt paste job for a few hours.

You deserve it, man!

He is welcome, but we mostly have Heineken here...lol

Wolfhound Inn in Jaffrey (I think) is a nice old school place

We only have Diet Coke and beets here--and hopefully some decent snow.

Agree that a location like SW CT may make out better than many expect.

Still think the Dec. 25,2012 analog is a good match. Maybe not that flukey 10" amount near the shoreline, but the general trajectory of snows looks decent:

I'll take that 14-16" and run!

25.5/14

How have you found it performs lately like in the 12/21 storm? Can you post it here?

It was excellent in the CT snows back in early November. In the 12/21 storm it kind of flipped and flopped but ended up handling the cold air damming in southern NH fairly well.

15z 4km (thru 27 hrs) and 12km (thru 40 hrs)
