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 ...

Part of me keeps visualizing this getting grander ...and sort of growing down the seaboard, as a major up this way becomes more coherent..  like each successive run, brings the QPF back SW... and we get back to the original solutions with this thing.  Proving the whole saga is ( same old saga) just model peregrinations.  I could see that ... Not forecasting that - yet.  But I could see that happening.

If it does, it will probably kick back up the coast (northeast) some at the 12th hour.

Well, as the bodies of despondent Buffalo Bills fans continue to plunge into Lake Erie, folks here in New England should have eyes peeled out west this week....as it is the rather small nuances with respect to the atmospheric heights in this area that will ultimately determine whether our region sees what has the potential to be a literal blizzard on Saturday, or perhaps a mere glancing blow with some snow. The upside is like nothing we have seen for several years, so a very volatile situation to say the least. Considering the manner in which this season has evolved, or hasn't, there must be somewhat of a "boy who cried wolf" ambiance emerging, but this season has and continues to be an atmospheric powder keg just waiting to erupt. But alas', you can't shovel "potential"...should have a good idea by Tuesday.

They must jump over Niagara Falls instead of a bridge like the Tobin.

Nice hit for east zones

why is so hard to get an h5 low to close exactly over our heads

I want it east of LI.

Congrats downeast Maine 

[wxsniss]

key difference is southern stream energy is a bit faster, and earlier interaction with northern stream energy

System is zipping along. Nice look though.

It is not a bad look at this range.

Yeah… seems like that’s been the theme for years now. Looks like it would be a Saturday morning deal

I don't remember the last time somebody said "this baby is crawling up the coast".   I will be quite happy with any system that brings me 4-6" or more.

I’ll take anything at this point.

Still nowhere near the bombed out solutions on the 18z ensembles, but yet a nice warning event for ENE, tells you about the upside for this system

Seriously, that’s not a bad look, and it’s not far from being much better.

I get people getting irritated...same crap all season. It's not far from this,  not bad that, plenty of chances here...

There likely won’t be a chance that it slows down. The hope is to get into the meat of something bombing.

Dec 2020 storm was 17" here.  The early Feb 2021 was only about 9" imby.  But yeah, that Dec 2020 was pretty long duration.
