Not sure if this was posted if so apologies but interesting read from NCEP:

 

 

...PHASING NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY ALONG THE EASTERNSEABOARD......POWERFUL COASTAL LOW EVOLVING OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC AND NEWENGLAND COAST... PREFERENCE: SLIGHTLY STRONGER VERSION OF THE 12Z ECMWFCONFIDENCE: AVERAGE  SRN STREAM ENERGY OVER THE LWR MS VLY AND A DEVELOPING AREA OF LOWPRESSURE JUST INLAND THIS EVENING OFF THE SOUTHEAST COASTLINE WILLLIFT NEWD ALONG THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST FRI. AMPLIFYING NRN STREAMHT FALLS DIGGING ACROSS THE LWR GRT LAKES AND UPR OH VLY REGIONWILL CAPTURE AND PHASE WITH THE SRN STREAM ENERGY AND DRIVE A LOWCENTER THAT WILL BOMB OUT OFF THE NRN MID-ATLANTIC AND SRN NEWENGLAND COASTS LATE FRI INTO EARLY SAT...WITH LOW PRESSURECROSSING NEAR THE BENCHMARK. LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE ENEWD OUTTO SEA AND AWAY FROM NEW ENGLAND LATER SAT THROUGH SUN. REGARDINGTHE MDL DETAILS...THE 12Z ECMWF AND ESP THE 00Z NAM CONTINUE TO BEWEST OF THE OVERALL MDL CONSENSUS...WITH THE 00Z GFS...00Z GEMGLOBAL AND THE 00Z UKMET A LITTLE FARTHER EAST. THE 00Z GFS ISCURRENTLY THE FARTHEST EAST OF ANY SOLN FOR THE DURATION OF THISEVENT WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED MDL SUITE. THE 12Z ECENS MEANACTUALLY SUGGESTS A LOW TRACK JUST A TAD LEFT OF THE 12Z ECMWF.THE 18Z GEFS MEAN IS A TAD LEFT OF THE 00Z GFS TRACK. BASED ON ALLTHIS...HPC WILL FAVOR A SOLN STRONGLY TWD THE 12Z ECMWF WITHRESPECT TO LOW TRACK...BUT WITH SOMEWHAT LOWER SFC PRESSURES...ESPOFF NEW ENGLAND BY SAT.

i dont' think they were counting on the 0z euro shifting. Will see where euro ens are thou, we may be outta of their useful range?

0z 4km btv wrf DESTROYS NNJ and NYC west long island area 3.5-4 qpf.

 

hits west SNE pretty hard (more S) and then again 2.5 plus from a line from Topsfield Ma to cumberland RI and just BOMBS plymouth country mass, middleboro 4qpf. brockton taunton fall river middleboro. really looks like SE MASS could get obliterated and also parts of w SNE

Transferring myself into Cantore's shoes for a sec here..."Holy smoke". Some of these solutions 24-36 hrs out now are like the wildest weenie fantasy storms I've seen.

I definitely think there is a good chance for a Top 5 storm in Boston given the way it just wails away there, with a non-zero possibility for the record. The conditions there are going to likely be rivaling anything that has been seen in the past.

 

Yeah, I think there's a very good chance at this being a top 5 storm, with a solid shot at coming close to the record.

I hope this blizzard ends up giving eastern SNE and the entire region 6 inches of qpf, all snow, driven by 65 mph winds and the storm stalls out for a week at a position that utterly annihilates everyone up there with meters of wind driven snow.

 

When you guys get sick and tired of diggin' snow and your snowblowers blow a gasket - You know who to call.............
