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 ...

Last regionwide one was probably feb13. Jan15 shafted WOR big time, especially in MA and NWCT

Jan 15 was a real biatch, hopefully we don’t repeat that nightmare

Please stop bringing that storm up.  TIA.

My apologies but we will make it right, if not this weekend…someday.

It's also quite slow compared to the Euro.... and has slowed down from 18z.

Cautiously optimistic the pattern is slowly coming together...  Would hope (expect) GFS to trend a bit better tonight.  Not surprised by the slowing and think that overall trend will help foster a more widespread / high impact event across SNE...

NAM has a massive WAA front running snow shield ahead of the main show.

A major nor’easter that is named after Kocin and uccellini …who wrote a book/studied  big east coast snowstorms.

I wish you had been here for 2013.

You can see the cf forming there, pushing nw and how it would rotate along it in future frames. I just like seeing those classic evolutions on the mesos even if they don’t exactly pan out for mby.

Might actually get a great daytime storm in here

Yet despite that, this is what the Carolinas ended up with at hr84 (and it is still snowing), this is big for both boards

It’s an acronym for the authors of a book on historical winter storms that have affected the NE U.S.  

In other words, It’s essentially an HECS (Historic East Coast Storm).  
 

The probability of this particular event reaching that esteemed category continues to increase, but not yet guaranteed.  
 

On a related note: we at least want to avoid an “FU” storm.  Seen too many of those over the past 4 years in SNE. 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Better idea this time tomorrow but there has certainly been some indications today of a slower moving system.  Be nice to see a long duration event, they have been hard to come by lately, outside of summer rain.

NAM would slay here

I still occasionally berate the wife about that as she chucks a pillow at me to sleep on the couch.

Everything falling into place.  Tip’s last one word post sums it up.

Yeah, we're due after the last 3-4 years.

You can see where the coastal front is starting along the Delmarva.

[wxsniss]

NAM guidance is still fluid... look at the southern shortwave at 6z Friday... it has trended 50-100 miles east (more conducive to phase) every run for 4 runs in a row now

Great run for SNE

yeah you're right, that was my last winter in wtby, since moving to Winsted my last 12+ was 1/4/18 if I got the date right, came close in the March storm same year, but 13 was epic in southeast wtby, 32"official, that was more than 78, but nothing will beat that storm in my opinion, just incredible

edit:12/17/20 I got 16.5"

It feels like Jan '96 was the last time I had a really big one during the day. I'm really stoked about that.

I hated it too. Had 6” of wind whipped fluff and no more than 10miles away maybe, there was 18”. But facing our fears head on is how we slay the demon. 

[moneypitmike]

Just where we want it at this time frame.

Refresh my memory, which event a few years back had the westward charging hellacious band with TS+++ / Mix precio+++?  That one had an incredible snow drift to it... while the band was east of me by several miles, I had S+++ but the radar was empty over my area...
