GYX precip map has us in the 7" range, but any wiggle west will help us!! I don't know how to access all the fancy products you guys have so I was hoping someone could have a look! Typically anything west of Crawford Notch gets shafted with these coast huggers but Wildcat/Sunday River/Sugarloaf do well. 7" seems low for my intuition, just wondering what the actual science is hinting towards.

Greg Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 This is looking like one hell of a storm. The Boston area just to the southwest to the immediate Northshore looks to get burried big time in snow by the looks of what is starting to take shape now.

There is going to be an area in central NE that won't be modeled, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think weenies out west from to look at the H6 lift. That seems to be near the DGZ as this will have some warmer air wrapping in. To me, that says we may have a good weenie band well west of the QPF queen band. Like pretty far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes....like, and then James woke up and washed his sheets. I would have been ashamed to suggest that as possible. This could do some strange, Dec 23, 1997 like things that are going to just violate a lot of forecasts. Sometimes when I see these really intense solutions I'll step back and try to figure out if it's completely garbage or if it's trying to suggest something. In this case I think this is trying to tell us something and what the NAM is saying that there will be a great deal of moisture getting thrown into this system and a tremendous amount of warm/moist air (+10C at 850) getting thrown into air that is like -5C at 850mb. There is just so much lift that there will be exceptional moisture being lifted into the SGZ which in the 12-18K range with -15C isotherm going right through it. Now...winds are likely going to rip dendrites apart but this band will have 3-5'' per hour rates and that band is going to persist and sit somewhere for upwards of several hours. To get 2''+ QPF you need many factors...we have those factors here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78Blizzard Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 5 more runs of the NAM before onset. It can't get any better than this run for many, but it can get worse, so keep those emotions in check. As bad as the NAM may be, we are closer to its wheelhouse now, so that's a big plus.
