The old NAM did at 12z and the 18z Gfs did 

It's all freaking noise practically. Maybe 18z stuff settled back a tad.  

[dryslot]

Out to 44hrs and over for most of the region

It was 10-15 miles east of 00z and Will said EPS was about dead nuts on with it.

If I could just get another 15 miles on top of that its game on. Just GFS looks horrible.

What's BDL's record snowfall?

Just saw on Ryan's site that it's 24". I think they have an outside shot at it.

[weathafella]

Should be fun.  I'm going in to work early and we'll see how it plays out.

Yeah it's basically just models settling in on a final solution. We won't see anymore major trickles. But there's this false idea on here that there's been some massive west trend across the board and it's not stopping. There's no west trend. It's a few models correcting their known biases. And you have people thinking a Rainer in BOS lol

[powderfreak]

I still can't think of any recent storm that looked to bring so much heavy snow over such a large geographic area.  

Be interesting to compare other storms with such a large area of 12"+.

So let's evaluate that.

Rgem East

Euro/ ENS- slightly east

GFS correcting west because was too east 

Para Nam- same or nudge east

So......

 

 

 

It's really easy to tell when you haven't looked at the models.

Para NAM did not nudge east. It moved considerably west.

For some people that tick west makes a big difference, I'd be down too if I was forecast for 18+ and now it was 3-6.

I don't agree. It basically stayed the same. Your idea of a massive west trend and worries of rain are unfounded

We all would be. But other than the old NAM nothing shows that. If they are basing it on that then ok

Looks like I am going to be ok on this one. The camera will be ready.

Re: 18z GFS from a met friend 

basically less phasing so coastal is not jerked as far west, and more ability for 850 low over coastal to stay closed off and deepen

[Cold Miser]

I thought GFS was considerably West too? 

Kevin is on his own island fighting the good fight.

Boy a track from GHG to even S of KPYM could mean the difference of like 5" at BOS. So close.

Yeah was just looking at 12z Euro: that window 18z-21z will be pretty intense (2pm-5pm), if we can keep it all snow (and per Euro looks like mix begins ~20-21z), 10-16" should verify

Verbatim, our most intense rates will be early-mid afternoon a little before changeover

Looks like 18z PARA-NAM mixes ~ an hour earlier, 18z old-NAM ~ a little before that... 

literally 10 mile shift east could translate into 2-4 more inches 

[Morch Madness]

Heard the 18z KEV went east as well

Huh? 18z GFS was way west. Might be the western outlier now if you throw out the 12km NAM.

I'm not on my own island. I've posted what was west and what was east . The point is the E Mass folks are ok near and north of BOS

That's what he sent me and he's good .

Fighting over 10-20 mile jogs in storm track..............lol

He's embarrassing himself even more than usual.

[J Paul Gordon]

I must be missing something. Doesn't seem like anyone west of 495 is going to taint for more than an hour or two and even that's questionable. BOS still looks good for close to a foot. We knew CC was going to get screwed. Has something catastrophic happened in the last hour or so that NWS, WeatherUnderground, Accuwx, the broadcast channels, etc, etc. haven't seen?

So what am I wrong about? Please explain 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Enjoy the storm. Looking at at 8-10" here.  Not what I care for mid march.  Would have preferred a blockbuster like modeled a day or 2 ago.

Life's tough on the fence... in that 18z-21z critical window, that 10 miles will make a difference of at least 2-4" for Boston

I think the bigger reason people are anxious is that the west trends since 18z yesterday might continue as we get closer, and we might continue to shave off of what last night was a comfortable 12-18" all snow

Hopefully those that have been fortunate for KU after KU since 2013 can suck it up.

Throwing bombs from Dallas. Zero percent chance you'd be this harsh from Weymouth. Someone's mad they're missing snow!
