there were enough model cycles to make box okx and alb all rather bullish and they tend to generally be conservative.

i tend to be very skeptical, esp living here in spfd but i did start to think a foot to a foot in a half of snow was a decent shot.

i never bought anything over 20 inches, heck the 78 storm couldnt get that done here and look what a monster that was with a track closer than what is being advertised here

 

the only storm i know of to clobber this area was the 1888 storm which is prob a one in five hundred year event.

 

I think anyone W of the Ct River needs to be reasonable and accept that this storm, in terms of historic potential has the best odds inside of Rt - 495.  The Ct River Valley should do just fine with 12"+ totals.  Don't despair if the NAM or any other model is showing a  "Valley Screw Zone".   Different set up than the Boxing Day storm.  More QPF and better snow growth than that fiasco.  Be happy with warning criteria snows and be elated that weenies to the E get smoked.

Remeber too that a 50 mile shift W and Springfield and Hartford get crushed.  

I'm planning on 15"+ in Greenfield which will eclipse the Oct 2011 total imby.  If it's less it won't be much less and I'll be thrilled.

 

Damn it's been tough to be traveling today with only 3g internet. lol

How often do we see heavy bands set up in NW CT and Western MA? A lot.

people complaining about the complainers...do you honestly believe that after 3 days of projections of 2ft and "historic", once in a few decade storm, people will just come back down easy to 8-12 inches that happen most winters...come on you have to expect some disappointment.  I do think a trend east is being played out here...it has been the theme all winter and will be tought to break...this one may phase the closest to us but not quite enough to bring blizzard conditions. The last 3 clippers have blown up into monsters once they left new england...this one will do it as well...but no blocking is a game of roulette.

 

 

After almost every met in here told people not to expect 2-3 foot totals until we are closer and it still shows it.

you could say it unil you blue in the face...people cannot help themselves when they are presented with so much positive data..even if it seems unimaginable...they will start to believe it. If you never bought into this being historic...good for you...you are better than me:)

Even with these slight east trends, still worth drive in your opinion?

 

 

For Boston? Yeah I'd do it. I mean, it depends what your own threshold is.

 

The models are going to wobble a lot here in the final 48 hours with the convection in the southern stream.
