I'm not disputing your forecast....I think you may get warning snows....I was just curious why you all of the sudden do not think the NAM is valid there....esp since for CT, it has a little more support now.

Sounds like you answered the question already, but aside from being out of the RAP range, those things were all true yesterday and the day before too.

I’ll tell you the main reason is because the NAM keeps cooling.  Run after run, . Typically once it warms at mid levels , it never stops. So to me.. that tells me the colder solutions are likely to win out

Except they have warmed too. I'd feel better Union north.

Nah take em up. The low isn’t going to ram into the high like the nam and rgem think, I don’t buy that at all, it’s going to redevelop and turn into a Miller B.

Every time George mentions a Miller-type system, in my head I hear Jeff Goldblum from Independence Day: "Forget the fat lady, you're obsessed with the fat lady!".

image.thumb.png.19dc432f5bd0f1d6a91f87f9ef02eb1b.pngwill it be all snow? Maybe not, but that’s an awful lot of moisture. There is every reason to lean high with QPF. A clash of incredibly mild air, the airmass to the south is the same airmass that brought us record warmth yesterday. Then we have a high to the north with arctic air funneling in. I’m convinced that this isn’t a normal overrunning setup, due to the magnitude of the thermal gradient (that meoscale models would be able to do better with), qpf will increase a lot more than what the global models have. Someone up north is going to get buried. South of the pike, it’s more dicey, we are gonna need to rely on dynamic cooling to offset the warm nose aloft.

You do realize its supposed to start snowing in like....8 hours right? It's not like we're 4 days away and leading up to this one.

All joking aside a real tough call from about BOS-ORH ad then to south of HFD into maybe TAN-GHG. There will probably be a very sharp gradient from like 3" of snow to near 9" before any mixing.

Pretty confident BOS-ORH see solid warning snow....they should rip north of the 850 WF early tomorrow....prob several hours of 1-2" per hour stuff. Main question for them in my mind is can they get 10-12" or is it more like 7-8".

HFD-PVD-TAN is a much tougher call...they could get a lot of IP during the heaviest stuff, but if it can stay snow for a couple extra hours during it, that could add 3 or 4 inches to the total.

I said 3-5 for my area, but it was me responding to his question to you. 

I am not a meteorologists nor do I play one on TV so definitely don't take my prediction to mean squat.

True, but there is a big difference between what the globals and mesoscale models have. Globals are lower with around .8-1 inches of qpf vs like 1.3 to 1.5 inches on the more aggressive mesoscale models. I’m expecting a big shift towards more qpf at 0z, and for the qpf to verify for the most aggressive guidance.

Yeah I agree with the Boston to Worcester corridor. But I just mean in that area I mentioned there could be quite a range so there is some uncertainty in that circle. I like what BOX did with that circle of uncertainty.

Both the Euro and GFS have widespread QPF amounts of 1.0 to 1.2".....

 All I know is that this is getting close to a lock for my biggest storm of the season.

Congrats--it's been a tough one.  You've been locked on this one for days though.

I'm smack on the direct line from ORH to BOS.  As Will said, a slightly slower advance of sleet could get me into double digits, a faster one might limit me to 5-7.  The other day I told my wife 5-8, haven't wavered from that.
