Seems a little crazy climowise to have it dig that far south. A little blocking would really help us out and tuck it in closer for the qpf queens off to the NW if it does in fact end up that far south. I'd bet the ensemble mean doesn't dig it that far south

 

Start the phase sooner and it would be NW

That would be a great storm for SE Mass in January too. But too warm.

 

What's often neglected is how many spooky ghosts get sucked into the system during a Halloween storm. The chill these spectres leave in the air can significantly impact temperatures, leaving localized pockets of sub-freezing temps, especially near larger cemeteries.

Yeah it's all about timing...actually doesn't look all that much different than the 12z GGEM in the near miss category. Low plows into the Canadian Maritimes pummeling downeast Maine.

No glaring issues as all models are digging it way south now...just another viable solution that'll change in another 12 hours.

The answer to the age old question of storms creating their own cold.

Its is timing, A little sooner and its a bomb up the coast, Later and its a whiff East

The Euro verbatim is over a foot for interior Maine, everyone else is a cold rain.

Hey now the Euro snow graphics have a dusting to an inch over a large part of VT from orographic showers lol, and dusting to 2" over the northern half of New Hampshire before you get to the big stuff in Maine.

Chances are it's not going to dig over the Carolinas lol

It's about the phase. It could not dig as far south but if it doesn't get it's act together it still misses.

Actually by going so far south it sort of slows it down and let's it get ripped north before getting too Far East. If it doesn't go as far south, it could just go further east.

The euro snow graphics aren't even accurate to use for "verbatim" analysis anyway. I've seen it paint snow where there is no way it would snow and also not paint snow where soundings would support it. Particularly in marginal boundary layer situations.

This is an excellent point.

The surface freezing lines don't lie, and the surface stays above freezing throughout except in interior Maine.

It seemed ok with light orographic precip over the mountains of VT/NH...regardless of the main storm I don't think it's unrealistic for the NNE mountains to see nuisance D-2" type snow shower activity out of the trough. Totally irrelevant from the main storm.

It did paint a coating of snow in SE Mass that looked suspect based on the 950mb temps, but it did have steady precip there too.

I still see low confidence for accumulating snow in the interior, extremely low at the coast. We've had a few good runs 100+ hours out. A few months from now, deep into winter, there would be no serious considerations or 10 pages of post for this threat. People are very excited for snow understandably. Maine is another story, they have a much better confidence of accumulating snow. Sure, Euro wasn't the awesome run it was last night. But we are far from our last swing at this time frame 5+ days out...Keep your head's on straight people.
