I still think you’re going to want some elevation with this. Whether that’s north or south of 90 or both who knows. In a marginal set up without that or some kind of insane dynamics it could be hard. Dec 92 had a similar airmass . Maybe a smidge colder 

Dec 92 snowed 18" in the Wilmington swamps. Latitude matters, too.

Pretty much, from BOX

This Weekend...

The latest longer range guidance continues to depict potential
for a coastal storm sometime Saturday night into Sunday night,
possibly evening into Monday morning. Considerable uncertainty
remains on the exact track and timing of the various components
of this system, which is not all that unusual this time of
year. There is rather high confidence we will see a period of
measurable precipitation. Confidence is much lower on the
timing and precipitation type details.

Took a consensus/ensemble mean approach to smooth over the less
predictable details. That pattern suggest more of a rain/snow
mix across southern New England, instead of a big snowstorm for
everyone. Snow more favored across the interior, especially at
night. Both options remain possibilities, however. There is
some blocking expected to our north, so this could be a slow-
moving coastal storm. It may be Monday morning before this low
pressure moves offshore.

GFS tries to spawn a secondary reflection over E MA to keep the flow more backed over the interior.

Yeah, I know. Day 6.

Basically what dec '92 did except a bit further south. Had the original sfc low tucked in over SE NJ but a secondary was spawning out southeast of the islands. 

With that high position though we prob know the interior will be a bit more backed than a model like the GFS says.

What day was that I was trying to look that up?

If I remember that one correctly,  we were dumping snow in Granby and over the ridge in Bloomfield was pouring rain...iirc. We had 18 inches I believe

I’m not saying it couldn’t slow down and cause copious amounts of precip, but it’s not nearly as impressive as ‘92. I hate when that analog is thrown around.  That was a special event. 

I was doing my first go round in W MA back then and I don't remember that storm being very impressive but I was in Amherst so maybe it was shadow central?
