... Uh never mind, just noticed the second punch. Dang!

[WestminsterSnowCapitalMA]

If this verifies It will make up for all the snow I didnt have this winter, the 4 day storm 

[Climate175]

Two pieces?

Could be a must-chase situation.

Even if it doesn't snow here, this is basically proof that it can.

[Maestrobjwa]

What in the world?? Did that second piece just bomb out? Mercy!

Don't key in on the front running piece. If it rains so what. That's what primes the mid levels for the shortwave hot on the heels. The second shortwave IS the storm. 

[Amped]

Stalls on VA beach for 24hrs, then crawls NE, still snowing at 162hrs

[RedSky]

That's your big dog right there

What arcane vodoo did Ji perform to start this thread lol

Interestingly, the euro and gfs do it different ways. Euro is a better track/evolution with the front runner and the trailing shortwave just prolongs everything. The GFS sorta sucks with the frontrunner but the trailing piece closes off and blows the F up. I'm good with either. I'll go with a blend for now. lol

[Jandurin]

I want all the snow

I am considering Frostburg if this ends up being an elevation event, as I suspect it might.  I turn 55 on Wednesday so I can justify taking a day off for that and 18"+

Might need to come back out to Deep Creek depending how things shake out.  

[Bob Chill]

I have the option to be in Cambridge or Rockville next week so if the GFS is right I'll be in Cambridge. If the euro is right I'll be at home. And since I have a great 4wd truck maybe I'll just drive between the 2 places during the height of the storm. That sounds like the most fun honestly. 

[RedSky]

Boston still gets a good snow from a southern system well just because

GFS is a good run no matter how you slice it. Trended the right way in every aspect from 12z. We're only talking d5 too. 

last storm at 90 hrs the GFS gave us the most snow we were supposed to see all season.  We have to get closer.

But it was on an island by itself.  At least this one has support.

I don't think I can park myself in UHI hell for some slop, while someone 50-100 miles away gets 18"+.

yesterday, the gfs started a trend of making the 2nd wave the legit threat, so maybe it's not finished with that trend yet.  500 looks absurd for late march.  that's a snowstorm here.  only 18,000 more runs to go lol

Oh, no doubt dude. We need to be inside of 72 before setting any kind of bar. Especially with what appears to be 2 shortwaves in close succession. Not a chance the ops have it right yet. I was mostly just saying that a trend better @ d5 is pretty sweet and timely.

A foot to the left of me, twelve inches to my right, here I am, stuck in the middle with a few.

I don't like how the GFS seems to delay the main event. Things getting pushed back are never good.

[Jandurin]

As long as it keeps giving me digital snow through summer, I don't care how delayed the storm is.

i'm guessing but it wouldn't surprise me if that first wave trends weaker and the 2nd wave becomes more of the main show.  maybe by tomorrow it will have a more consolidated solution.
