Just ran my trendcast output for the Boston area.  Here is what I got, Snow beginning around 08/18Z, with the heaviest starting at 00Z through 12Z, seeing snowfall rates of up to 2.0" per hour around the 09/05Z time frame.  In addition, winds gusting 40-45KTS from 09/07Z to 09/18Z.  Predicted model snow accumulation around 22 to 24.2" for storm total in the Boston area.

 

Here is the output:  http://smartwxmodel.net/51.htm

Yeah, the confluence N of the system forced it to roll into itself, transforming an open wave into a closed one, but when that happens, there is a lot of momentum that has to be conserved, so when it curls in it gets exotic. 

Yeah, good point. It was very impressive to watch the emerging head form...the warm conveyor belt cloud field which formed it was nearly normal to the flat jet streak left exit. I wish I had a loop of it...it was fascinating to watch develop.  Anyways, enough of my irrelevant storm talk.

awesome 40/67?

 

UKMET was always on the east side of the spectrum.  It seems a bit too flat to me for sure, but who knows.

 

Looks like all 00z global models have trended east so far tonight... Euro probably will too?

 

NOGAPs came west, does that count?  It's come towards the consensus of a good hit.    Who knows on the Euro, as someone said elsewhere it will be interesting to see if the models at 0z followed what the Euro did earlier today and that's the "east" move we saw, or if the Euro is going to continue to adjust east.  It's been the leader all along with this system.  My hunch is it's east (somewhat delayed hook) but at 36-48 hours out, not sure it matters anyway.  The UKMET really doesn't hook much at all any longer.

the southern stream distrubance seems to be further SE of mid Nc coast (instead of on mid coast coast) on 0z products.

 

are there any changes on the stuff phil8822 (may be spell'd wrong but he's a met)  posted yesterday regarding something that help'd the southern stream disturbance gain latitude better? i think he referred to something tropical.  vague i know.

On the contrary... Yes I realize the storm at hand is paramount but it all applies really.

 

Also, I am drawn to AK. Not sure why.  I like to click on AK via NWS gov, and just see their AFDs and balance them against the various sat channels.  There is so much fascinating meteorology up there. I love it.   To give you an idea of just how dorky I am, I actually go to Barrow's web cams and enjoy the autumn sea ice advances.   Not sure why but maybe its the solitude.  Something is peaceful and pure, and pure natural about that.  

 

Most importantly, some of the most powerful storms on the planet are tapped into GOA.  Can you imagine one of those 50 Mi SE of ISP?

Too tired for PBP, but through 18-24 the Euro is notably faster in the southern stream.  It's hard to tell up north I can't see 500mb...hopefully it's digging well or the southern stream sneaking out faster may be indicative of more movement the other way. 

 

Last run 36hr, low was in the west central part of the Panhandle.  This run roughly SE GA?
