Powerful Multi-regional/ multi-faceted east coastal storm now above medium confidence: Jan 29 -30th, MA to NE, with snow and mix combining high wind, and tides. Unusual early confidence ...

[Baroclinic Zone]

Tamer 10:1 images are still 24-30" over extreme SE MA and CC.

Come Sunday morning on the GFS and it's still snowing... if this was verbatim lots of eastern areas would see well over a day of accumulating snow... and look at that vort!

Down East Maine will get buried with blowing and drifting.

Holy shit that’s over 100 miles west of the last run, the low is much deeper as well. This could be the best run we have seen yet from any model.

[Warwick WX]

Great, we have a surprise birthday party for my SIL reserved at a club Saturday night here in RI.  What is the % chance this thing can go forward?  5/40/80%?

[ORH_wxman]

Lol, 952 over the BM on the GGEM. That's the kind of stuff I used to draw in my notebook in college during class when I was bored.

That capture is how you get a HECS....you need it to stall for 6-8 hours...almost all the great ones did it at least that long.

Couple rare exceptions maybe....Feb 5, 2001 for interior.

Semantics but.. shouldn't scale/size matter for those definitions?  

I mean, the "E" and the "C" stand for East and Coast.   If this stalls and donut stuffs Boston for 30" and NYC for 2" ...is that a HECS?

Yea baby

Bun this . Obviously anything can happen, but I think you are projecting just a bit. 
 

I’ve seen very little model support in the last few cycles of both op and ensemble models that would produce something like that 

[NeonPeon]

I would dance a jig for any major snowfall. Haven't seen one in a couple years. 

Which is why I'm looking forward to this trending west, then being assured that I'll still get significant snow after we flip back from rain, then watching a band to our west while sucking subsidence, then just as that band should move overhead it disintegrates and forms east of me. Lastly to come on here and listen to people bitching about getting only 10 inches instead of 18 while I look at 4 inches of paste. Something like that, don't want to get too specific at this stage.

Historic snowfall rates are probable if this verified.

Yeah, you watch the morning weather on networks like NBC CT and all you see are total weather nerds going all weenie about it on the air, like giddy little school children in science class trying to hold back their excitement for recess so they can go look at leaves under a microscope. Trying to hold back a gigantic grin as they speak of heavy snow, wind and coastal flooding. It's despicable, really.

Yep I would draw the perfect track and pressures as well. I still have a book from 10th grade with drawings and doodles. Prescient

Make sure you call the Dr if it lasts for more than 4hrs

Yeah technically you're right, but we've coopted the term over the years to mean a historical storm wherever it hits. Like we'll say "that's a HECS for Portland Maine"....kind of doesn't really make sense when you break down the acronym, but it's still easier than typing out "a historic storm for PWM"
