That's solid for SNE outside the berks. I think you missed the upslope potential though.

PF just had a stroke

I agree. It seems really aggressive, but GYX has been aggressive for several days and they often aren’t 

Off topic, but can you say something about your trip?  How long is it, is it work related?  I’m pretty envious, never had that opportunity.  Not yet, anyway.  Safe travels!

He's expecting 2' of powder and ends up with a coating lol

East slope of the Berks and Worcester hills do well with upsloping, often there are screw zones to our west, their east (namely the Pioneer/Connecticut valleys.)

My area may be trapped in the exhaust zone between epic bands for the 2nd time in a week. 

My hunch is the band is closer to you and not over Logan in NY.

How does it sometimes end up that the expected will be almost exactly the high range, like 10" expected with a high range of 11", but the low range will be like 2" or something?

Well not all CDFs look like a perfect bell curve like I described.

Some have a big low end tail, but a sharp high end. Sometimes all models say rain and there is no CDF to work off of. It’s definitely not a fool proof system, but it can provide some windows into the guidance. 

It works best for large, widespread snow events.

He is to low in a lot of the NW areas, That low backs in up here on every model run in a late capture.

Nothing better than a peaking blizzard during the day time. Nothing. 

Agree.  That said, the potential in Maine is for a lot to continue during the night as well.  But I'll take whatever I can get in the daytime!

You should hitch a ride to Pit2.

So it is a true CDF based on models?

I am going for 12++ here.

For some reason I never seem to take upslope into account.  Probably because I have always lived in the "coastal plain" and have never had to consider it.

You are clearly not buying the big QPf numbers back into central New Hampshire and Western New England

No I am not.  Too many red flags.

[rimetree]

Would like to just have one 12+ event this winter. We came close in the last event but too much rain at the onset. Thinking this is the last chance but I like my chances this morning.

They are useless to the real world. People want to know what will happen, not what has a 10% chance of happening.

Can't really argue.  However, most of the weenies here should be better educated than that, so when I see this morning's 7"/15"/22" for Farmington, I can salivate over that right end of the curve while expecting the  middle.  (Which if it verifies would push March over 30" for the 5th time in 20 years.)

For northern and western Maine, I might be/probably am too low.   But color me concerned about western zones doing more than just sucking exhaust from this thing.

[TalcottWx]

Mike where's Pitt 2?

I am not sold yet on 12+ Metrowest-ORH quite yet. Need to see 12z to make sure there isn't another E shift.

Can anyone load a nice w.v. loop

Going to be some screw zones no doubt, Where those are and end up i'm guessing in is some of your flags.

 If the Monadnocks are getting smoked Greenfield usually does OK.

PF is right, it's going to be like skiing out west by the time St Patty's Day roles in. Deep deep snow.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

I feel pretty confident in 8”+ here up to east of ORH and down to the canal. Would like to see another round of solid 12z guidance for entertaining huge numbers.

The Euro bringing it back some last night hopefully means those Far East solutions were out to lunch

Its a truck stop in E.B.F Maine. Tap twice at stall 4. Bring lube and a diet coke

LOL.  I'm off the diet Coke.  Polar seltzer is the drink du jour.  Coffee is welcome, too.

 I'm with you, my last foot plus was March 2017.   They are a dime a dozen in E SNE.
