Ukie slicin' and dicin' the QPF up here.

Trend today so far has been away from the monster event, IMO. Or at least narrowing the range of the best totals. Still a great storm.

SREF plumes pretty much have the mean area-wide at 20-24" (MA.) with the higher members up to and over 48"

Yet NWS just upped totals over their forecast area.

No, ORH....good amount of guidance tapers west of ORH.

Yeah probably only 8" for @HoarfrostHubband I.  Outside 495 it'll taper very fast

I wouldn't go that far, but I do think we're seeing some wrinkles being highlighted this morning that could bring this from a historic all timer regionwide to confining that to a narrower area while it's simply a biggie for the rest of SNE.

UK cut back precip everywhere for sure. Same deal we have seen with the other major runs today aside from GFS.

Then you’ll be slashing your maps?

[dan11295]

IMHO I am surprised BOX upped the amounts with the models all starting to agree on the dual low setup which could threw a wrench in this a bit, especially in NW zones (SE MA still looks good for a pounding). I fully expect the Euro to come down a notch as well.

Going to be a mess in providence and Boston tomorrow.  Grocery stores in providence look like black Friday at Best Buy.

That’s all I am saying. If Taunton gets 24 and most other places are 12” or less that’s not a HECS that will be referenced in books. Some potential was left on the table. No doubt a wide stripe in SE MA will get blasted either way (unless RGEM/GGEM/UKMET score a coup).

Not sure.  Why would they?

The precip maps are what they are. They all cut back aside from GFS.  Certainly they could be wrong. Euro will be telling as usual.

Love me some $1 covered snow emergency parking in Boston. I'll have 0 responsibilities tomorrow other than sitting and watching the fun unfold.

WBZ finally expanded their 18-28 zone.

It is contrary to what you read here with some of the posts being so negative about the recent models. The NWS doesn’t seem at all concerned and upped the totals

I couldn't be more dead center in that bullseye 

[TheSnowman]

My Decision will be based on the 12z Euro. Problem is I have to leave here by 11am Sharp to make the plane / rental car, and you guys won't have diagnosed the 12z Euro until like 10:50 PST even at the Amazing pace you guys diagnose like I rip chord changes in advanced jazz.  

 

So I have to get everything in order now. Yikes.
