You have the confidence/knowledge to put out a well written forecast with backing.        If it fails, you are able to explain why.    Few on here do either of those

I’m more interested in the upslope piece now.

Well, I am very nervous about at this point. I said all along 12z Wednesday was a pretty big deadline, so I'm not sure why people feel like I am losing my mind. Hopefully it will trend back enough, but I feel like that idea is in peril at this point.

I think 6-12" not a lock, but doable. At least the eastern third of SNE.  I'd put the odds  around 50/50 for 6"+ or <6" here

Is this the Accuweather forum all of a sudden?  Folks need to get a grip.

I feel like I have been too trigger happy in the medium range this season.

Another one that gives about 6" for BOS.

so as of now, Euro/GGEM/RGEM/Herpes/3km NAM/Uncle are all in that camp.

GFS/12km NAM are in the 1-2" camp.

So it's American models that are the outliers now.

Yea, that sounds reasonable. 

Hopefully more clarity for tomorrow when I write up the final call. There is a method to my madness with respect to when I do these write ups because I am often an emotional basket case in  between

That may be fading as well for you as this low keeps tracking further east of NS, I'm not feeling confident enough that we will get this back into the GOM or even somewhere close.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

I have not had time to check in all morning. Should I stick with my C - 2” call for Greenfield? 

[40/70 Benchmark]

There is actually a very good consensus between the 12z 3km NAM, 06z EURO and 12z GEM.

You can throw the 12z Ukie in there too.

I'm down for getting 6-10" of fluff regionwide off of .3-.5" Liquid..

Maybe 4-8" east, and 3-6" west is the best call right now.

Cool. I was running conservative waiting to see if they were any more shifts east or weakening.

HRDPS would be solid if extended past 48

Well, at least E Mass will get snow that they don’t even want. Or it will just rain.

I'll take 3-6" or greater...no issue with that.

Ukie is actually pretty nice for E MA...BOS def would get warning criteria snowfall on that run.

Silly question--but one I need to ask now that I've moved.  What do you consider Eastern Mass? Everything east of Worcester County? 

[CoastalWx]

Congrats Ray on the BTV WRF.

Boston is a safe guess

My initial thought was 128 - Cape.  But that's based more on distances than anything else.

Some tried to tell them and got ridiculed. I’m still holding out hope that this tracks bear ack but my original fears are still the biggest worry. 

It’s all good. We did say a graze is the most likely outcome in a fast and flat flow. Tracking and hedging is fun. I can melt when a really big one busts (which has happened too often the past 8yrs) but other than that, it’s an enjoyable hobby regardless of snow output.

The chase is fun especially when it ends up snowy.. Let's hope for some good trends the next 24-36 hours..

I kind of loosely consider it 495-eastward....but it's a subjective term.

I would generally tell you that around and east of the 495 belt is mostly considered Eastern Mass, anything a little west of that to the Worcester area is considered Central Mass. CT River Valley west is considered Western Mass.
