Okay next Tuesday is our big storm to track. This is it. Big snow or sloppy Mix. I would bet on the latter but I will be tuned in. :ee: opcorn:

Just checked the 6z GFS and it already has the slop approaching for that fantasy storm. That northern trend just can't be stopped, and we're still a week out. Of course, I don't take these runs seriously a week out, but just goes to show what kind of winter this has been for us with storms. We're not Boston.

Yep, not buying that this is "our" storm. I have been seeing that slop scenario on many different models.Once they start hinting at it, we know that it is extremely rare for it to not occur. It seems all it takes is 1 model to show it, and it verifies. EURO was warm last nights run, GEM yesterday afternoon. GFS has been flipping back and forth.

I see the 6z is showing a huge EC storm a couple days later which even though it is too far east of us at this point I would feel a lot more confident on it coming a lot more northwest and being substantial for us than the one Tuesday.

That looks like the next best shot at something significant in the precipitation department for sure. 00z GFS had a good track for our area but like we all know anything the models show this far out is just a depiction of a possible outcome.

 

I think we should be able to squeeze out 2-4 between tonight- Thursday and Saturday-Sunday. The storms unfortunately track to our North though so there is little upside to this and I wouldn't be surprised if most had little more than a coating to an inch. I'd be looking forward to the cold if it was coming in on the heels of a 4-6 inch storm or larger.

 

Anyways, did you see this picture on the NWS Facebook page from Boston?:

They have received all of that snow, around 65 inches, on a little more than 3.25 inches of liquid.  Everything has been so high ratio for them.

Check out the 12z GFS. "Come one! Come all!" Will we all be sucked in? :popcorn:

I am watching, but if you really look at it more closely.  I wouldn't get too sucked in as of yet...It looks like we will be a mix for a good amount of time in the middle of the storm on the GFS.  Freezing line north of AGC.  At least it is potentially in the over night hours so that should help some.

 

The Sat night clipper looks a little better.

Per a very respected poster on another forum.

 

Take a look at 4 panel Euro on the Ewall site. Go to Hr 144 and loop through 168. You will see how very close this is to a triple phased storm. At 168 the Arctic Jet breaks off - IF IF IF that AJ stays with the two other phased pieces andIF IF IF the sw ULL comes out as modeled.

Some people are never happy! ;)

I agree though, until the snow is falling you have to be either worried about it shifting to hit you, or staying the bullseye for x amount of days. Its fun to see though.

Come on, just let me have the "Bullseye of Doom"! I don't ask for much out of life. A coined phrase that I get credit for and a snowstorm. That's about it. Lol

I'm just being very cautious as always when we're still a week out. Right now, it's just pretty colors on a map. If it's still showing this a few days from now, then we can take it seriously. Even then, there will still be a lot of uncertainty as we've learned over the years. Something to track though, like you said. :)

I am more confident in getting 3-4 inches tom thru Sun than I am for getting 3-4 inches on Tuesday.

Like we have always said before, On long range models we get 100+ inches every year.  :cry:
