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 ...

You see a scenario where this isn't a historic storm for a lot of people in Eastern MA? Because I don't 

I think you should just let it go...there is obviously frustration given some trends that impact areas to varying degrees.

Phin doesn't like it when I talk about it though.  He mad.

12z so far has kind of sucked west of 495 relative to previous guidance. Can't deny it.

Let's just break off the community into individual zones of security, that way we can talk about our back yards and not offend anyone else.

[NeonPeon]

You know, a little negative trending and I may only get the best storm I've had in 7 years, not a decade. It's going to be hard to sled with my kid while I'm sobbing, but I'll try.

Yeah but it's a fact that 12z guidance has definitely backed off on a larger region-wide historic storm....it's still historic for SE MA, but that is different than what we were seeing on previous cycles. Honestly, there really isn't much more to parse for SE MA and far E MA....they are going to get crushed. But for the rest of the forum, there is a lot to sort out.

Now, it's another question altogether whether we actually believe the 12z runs so far...I'm thinking they are probably going to little too much with the elongation idea and the Upper levels and mid-levels look about as good as they can be....

I have been trying, diligently but seemingly without any modicum of success, to figure out just why folks keep talking about imaginary places like "495" and "Connecticut" in this, the central New Jersey shoreline winter storm thread.

Let's keep in mind that the 10-1 maps are not gonna be accurate for this thing.  Neither is the Kuchera's, but somewhere in the middle is where we end up for ratios.

With 30:1 ratios, you're going to be fine.

Think of how more productive the discussion of ri geography could be. This idea has legs.

And that's been acknowledged.

This seems to happen every event. You get those western shifts about 36-48 hours then some last second eastern adjustments. 

Im on 95 headed towards Boston. Trying to stay near Rockland but can't find a hotel that isn't booked. I found one in Braintree Mass. Not that it will be that big a change but will I still be at a decent* (damn auto correct) spot for OES? Places must be booked from the storm

Todays 12z runs are definitely better for RI, you should Be cheering that on

use them tears to wipe the bottom of the sled a little, they will freeze up and create a nice lubricating ice layer

Lots of clenched buttholes here today.

LOL what I posted originally was completely tame and true to the model output. SE MA clearly on edge due to the latest runs. Sheesh. 

Man you touched a nerve there, that was wild lol.

[Damage In Tolland]

IMO .. as long as the 500 and 700 mb lows track as modeled everyone is going to be very happy. Put snow maps away. Look at the extremely favorable tracks of these lows.. massive easterly inflow.. your past experiences and results in setups like this. There’s literally nothing to brown your drawers over

Norwell, Hanover area have anything? I just checked and hull has some vacancies. Should be a wild storm there

I can't believe all the western peeps are worrying over the RGEM/NAM when it still gives E MA 2 feet.

Because EMass has had piles of 20 to 30 plus inch monsters that have left anywhere from a few flakes to six or maybe eight inches of arctic sand WOR..
