bummer how 22 is going by the way side. We need a big one during these next three weeks to validate this potential.

Patience grasshopper. Remember the lessons of the past, signals come, signals go and then all of a sudden everybody is talking about a biggie. Ask the NC mountain moonshiners what they were told 3 days ago would be their weather this week.

Oh yes sir, Feb is where its at for big ones, I was speaking how many may feel, above climo snowfall for most........archie 25th or so perhaps

Ha, is that what he has? Sounds right..lol. 

Well, a big part of Noyes disco is that he has very little confidence at all in his forecast... maybe 10%... and he is saying it is pretty much anything could happen right now.

 

To a cetain poster in Tolland this equals "It is coming west, days and days, feet and feet"

I could see the edge of synoptic snows briefly to I-95 in Mass...like very light stuff that last a few hours before heading east. I think it will be difficult for anything beyond that. Maybe a coating or something. This is one to watch for the Cape. If there were to be changes it would have to be the energy coming out of Canada. If that is sharper, than it could pull moisture back...I just think it's a long shot.

Matt makes great points, but I have no idea if it matters this time.  I mean if the southern system trails GFS guidance even if the GFS is right aloft all we end up with is a system that gets sheared and misses by a big margin under us.  I just have no clue which camp is right, but it's hard to go against the king.

 

These are all great, but may be meaningless

 

In technical considerations, there are a few things worthy of noting:

  1. The northern stream disturbance is intense, this favors at least some northward tug of moisture.
  2. There is little evidence of warm or moist advection of air through any significant column of the atmosphere - that is a negative for snow production.
  3. The past several systems to emerge off the eastern US coast have developed quicker than forecast.
  4. The past several systems to emerge off the eastern US have verified farther north than forecast.
  5. The weighting of all ensemble solutions is north - that is, more members are north than along or south of the current forecast track.

Yeah and that applies for your area especially. A C-1" is certainly not out of the question here, but that's nuisance stuff.

Blizz would never do something like that. Never.

 

Uncertainty cuts both ways.  It would not surprise me at all to see this go OTS this run, likewise there would be no surprise to see it turn into a larger storm in SE NE.  There's justifications for both, IMO there's so many moving parts this one is best left to the consensus of the models after this run tonight.

My thoughts before 00z and bed shortly are 1-3 back to i91 and 3-6 Capewide with more If the 00 and 6 z community continues backing NW . If they go east overnight then we can adjust in the morning

The KFS must have some algorithm that takes a blend of all forecasts, especially the snowiest ones, and then increases the snowiest model by over 50%, while at the same time exponentially increasing the spatial extent of the snowfall.

And regardless of where the storm looks to be, the KFS has never issued a forecast that does not include some snow for Tolland. Like tonight's call of 1-3" back to 91 instead of 395 or something.

0z RAP would say that a compromise between the whiff op EURO and the op GFS are in order. I'll take a coating to 2" on the Cape, maybe 3" on the outer cape.

 

BTW, just saw the SREFs too...LOL.  a few hours ago it was giving probabilities for 12" of snow in SE MA.  Nice work.  I gather there are some new members mixed in there, not sure incorporating the WRF is going to prove fruitful.
