Let's be completely honest here - if you woke up with CTP forecasting 30-40" for you, and saw it was  reduced to 12-18" a few hours later...I think you'd not be on the "I would take it for sure" campaign. :) 

Maybe LOL but snow is snow so yes I would be disappointed but knowing I am still getting a foot wouldn't make too depressed.

And now to go completely off topic, you used to be maytownpawx.  Did you lose a bet or something?  Sorry I'm new here and don't know the story.

Until the HRRR has it, why get frustrated when the other models drop it.

Suppose the NWS predicted you’d end up with a foot of snow but you got 9” mixed with a little bit of sleet. Would you complain about it for upwards of a week?

NWS for Boston has been in that 12-18” range. Maybe just recently bumped to 18-24”. So I think that’s just models zeroing in on reality

Weenies will Weenie, but 30” to 40” was just model runs (and maybe the 10% NWS high end potential map)

Dude, that's awesome!  We had a selfie party with the 611 this past season.  Holy shit, was that thing cool!  Anyway, back to weather.

Yea, I am a little lost here.  Have not been paying attention as much as in the past,  but no 12Z model that I just ran through had anyone over 20" unless I missed it.   Why is the Euro showing the same cause for a blow up?   I saw some crazy Nam runs at one point, before today,  but did anyone really think Tom's River was getting 40"?

Right now their official forecast for Boston is 23”, with a “low end amount” of 12.2”.

(I shouldn't admit this because not many would get it...but I have had an annual pass to Strasburg in the past. I was a part of more than one 611 excursion)

Yes, the weather. It's 33 with white rain. At least my expectations were pretty close to what I see outside, which was nothing. LOL

I guess I'm wrong. I thought earlier Euro runs (and a few others as well) were well over 30" in eastern Mass. If I spoke in error, I apologize. I've been reading for the past 36 hours that New England was preparing for a top 3 storm, which 12-18" most certainly would not be.

For your bolded, I give you this. It's up in my neck of the woods, but something to consider.

As a bonus, you get to ride through Tamaqua...lol

I was not thinking anyone was wrong but no 12Z run had anything like the previous Euro was showing so I would have expected them to assume the worst was coming and the Euro was going to Cave.  Was more questioning the weenies in NE.

Okay, that makes sense now. I was going to say, there has been a crap ton of those maps that have shown SE NE getting 30-50" of snow the past few days. I didn't realize that other 12z guidance today was tamed down from that.

Other than the Euro and the 12K Nam, there was no normally used 0Z guidance that showed it either.  0Z HRRR, 3K Nam, GFS, CMC, UK, RGEM were all maxed out in the 15-16" area if I saw it right.  If we had been in play there would have been lots of 'Can the Euro pull a miracle" posts since most guidance was more more in that 12-18 area.   So I was just confused if they were portraying it as a bust as the bust would have been IF they got the 30+" IMO.

Admittedly, I didn't look at guidance myself for their area and was going more on perception from their thread and others. It "seemed" like they were expecting a top 3 storm all time, but feelings can't really be quantified. LOL
