The GFS seems like less qpf, no? .5 line doesn't even make it to the south coast? 

 

This is a 0.30-0.40" qpf type of event...maybe some weenie 0.50" bullseyes in a weenie band that models never forecast well. The Euro tends to be king especially when it comes to QPF.

0.5 line runs into DE Maine and includes the Cape but it orients more N/S vs SW/NE. I have no idea how much but I'm assuming BOS gets around 0.4 and maybe areas further west a tad less?

Yeah it seems like that although there is a little bit of discrepancy ..NAM has .45 in a pretty large area of snow and SREF has a mean of .55 with a pretty large clustering of .5 to .6.

 

Either way I think its a pretty easy forecast for this area. 3-5, 4-6". Boston is another story.

3/4 mile south but higher than Garth who is just North, watch him beat by a half inch again lol SNOW DEVELOPS FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AFTER MIDNIGHT AND CONTINUES THROUGH AT LEAST THE MORNING COMMUTE. THE SNOW SHOULD MIX WITH AND CHANGE TO RAIN AND/OR SLEET WEDNESDAY MORNING... WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF THIS SOUTH OF US ROUTE 6

Yeah I could see us getting a half inch of QPF...but I just think the SREFs are a bit juicey IMHO. I'd like to see more mesoscale models printing out some weenie totals. RGEM is usually juicey and it wasn't quite so gung ho. I don't think this matters too much as we are discussing like 0.15" qpf difference in the scheme of things...but just for kicks...I think advisory amounts are solid for central hills here. Won't be shocked at a few lollis higher, maybe up toward Hunchback where some of the preliminary banding signals look a bit stronger.
