Perhaps a Coastal Storm on March 2nd for SNE????

Yeah it makes zero sense though.  You’re not getting an amped system like that on Sunday night behind this.  The Euro will likely gradually tick flatter with that starting at 00Z 

I think some of it depends on how much of that lakes shortwave late in the game tries to phase in...doesn't really affect the storm itself too much at SNE's latitude but a stronger interaction does lower the heights behind that Saturday storm...we saw it on the 18z GFS. The 18z euro didn't really do it enough. But I could see it doing that on future runs if it amps up on Saturday a little further.

It's not as organized as the Euro...it's NW of the 18z run, but the 18z run was actually a better looking storm.

The NAM has been extremely weird as of late (and by late for quite a while). One of my professors pointed it out. 

Part of the struggles with this system too is we’re not dealing with a consolidated piece of energy. There are numerous pieces of energy embedded within the flow and the models are struggling vastly. It’s certainly a good sign though that as we get closer to the 24-hr mark we’re nudging towards solutions of higher snow as opposed to less snow.

 

one thing I’ve always liked are how tightly packed the thermal gradient is...that’s always a signal for not only solid banding, but a good indicator of where it can be anticipated.

NAM definitely looks very "convective-ish" this run....several blobs of it as the low is trying to organize more.

 

The low seems to string out and chase one of those blobs that is near the BM at 30 hours and then just chases it northeast preventing this thing from becoming nice and consolidated like other model guidance.

Seema to be a huge bias of the NAM in these types of setups and struggles mightily. I thought the GFS May have had a good handle with this and even the look on the euro has been intriguing.

How wet will this be? Will it be a 31-32 degree paster even interior? 

Negative...it's pretty darn cold at 900mb so the snow is going to be pretty dry....interior will prob be that classic 27F snow. Coastline could be a little closer to freezing...so those areas, esp SE MA may have to watch for paste.

Exactly, was mentioning this earlier as a reason for multiple 18z models suddenly collapsing on a big event...
Earlier runs for the past day had diffuse / dual low structure chasing pieces of vorticity further east

There must have been some new sampling of the vorticity (currently pieces over the Rockies and Texas) or something to make all the solutions jump like that

I think it has the right idea...you would hope, at this range lol

From a synoptic pattern perspective, the bigger solution does look pretty reasonable...we've got a negatively tilted shortwave loaded with gulf moisture. There's not a lot that wants to shove it east on a scenario like that. Seems you either string it out with convection or somehow get a weaker system overall because the shortwave trends weaker...but we aren't seeing the latter.
