Yeah I'm new to the area.  He's just the one I see the most, but after further research I learned he's not even the chief met on WPRI.  For some reason his are the forecasts I always see retweeted by local folks. 

I will be the first to say that TJ, although I'm bias because he is a Very close friend, is THE best TV Met in MA / RI.  I can't speak for CT, though Harv is of course The man.  But TJ nails small details in storms that no one else picks up on.  And for the Blizzard just as one example, he was the First person to notify me about it, and told me Saturday morning to fly back.  Mark Searles can be good, but I'll never forgive him on the Fujiwawa storm on how bad it was Lol.  But him and Tony Petrarca are good yes.  My favorite was Ken was it? who left from WBZ.  Went to California.  Was always on it.  But ya - TJ.  He's so So good.

boohoo you got 20" lol. While im sitting here with my measly 8" and probably have the least amount of snow for the season than anywhere in all of new England. If anyone can be complaining it should be me, but im thankful for what I got, a nice snowpack, brutal cold, and 3 warning snows in 10 days.

The smug around here can be a little absurd at times, there are people here who actually root for NYC area to get no snow at all. But as an area that doesn't really have a home, what can you do.

 

Anyhow per the Euro, & most other models. The north shore of LI gets 3-4 inches while we get 8+ . Not sure about you but that's a little too close to comfort. I could see this becoming a big time ice event, as 850 warms up quickly but cad holds strong.

 

Also just have to ask did you live in north haven during the 10-11 season? I was in Hamden at the time (college) and that was the greatest winter I have ever been a part of.

Pretty much sums up the winter down here near NYC with tonight's 00z euro. From 8-12 to 1-3 in less than 48 hours. Enjoy the snow up there.

90 percent of the time, SWFEs don't work out around NYC. I never took the early predictions or models giving NYC 8" or more with any weight. Remember climo. This is Boston's wheelhouse, not NYC's. Sucks but that's how it is. Snow is the one area where Boston will beat NYC just about every time. ;)

In my lifetime Copeland was the best to date. Given the tools he had at that time.... I'd argue he was still as accurate if not more than many even today.

Dickie and Harv were the best of their generation at night. Ghiorse was good too.

Burbank was always good, He and Harv are a dying breed. There is nobody else on Boston TV that I care to watch now and almost never do. Lots of pretty ladies but the substance of the weather segments is kind of gone into sound bites now.

Euro is still creeping. I am hoping the RGEM is a bit warm.

Hopefully you're ready for some pellets down there.

Looking like taint will probably make it up to central ct and points eastward. I'm pretty confident my area will stay almost if not all snow. 8-12 widespread but I can see some loli's to 14, particularly near the Pike region and with the easterly inflow and expanding CCB in eastern Mass.Tainted region may be more like 5-8.

I think it's breaking colder here late? Euro was a bit north again but the taint may be confined close to the coast

Well I think the taint to the Pike depiction was flawed, with the antecedent cold air mass and a track south of LI its probably about 25 miles inland from the CT coast give or take but it could be a bit further south.

GFS/NAM/Euro all in agreement basically on that sleet line more or less south of HFD to PVD type line

 

Seems pretty much what everyone thought... though I know you were saying it wouldn't make it past the south coast yesterday.  Bottom 1/3rd of SNE may have some taint but still a warning event.
