At least mid level temps don’t look to cook interior elevations like tolland Or Orh on this one , like they have much of year 

Or even 925mb like in the 12/16 event.

I really like to look at 925mb...esp in late season events...that was a big failure in a lot of forecasts in the Feb 24, 2010 interior storm (just before the retrostorm that dumped rain) and in the March 2013 firehose storm. 2013 was more egregious because 925 temps were like -5C and everyone was forecasting mostly rain or non-accumulating snow. 2010 was a little trickier, but that one had like -1C 925 temps over the interior and ORH hills got crushed with like 1-2 feet when most outlets were forecasting 2-4 inches.

I think it's fine here. I don't agree.

I guess rain to snow for many. The BL starts out very warm inside of 495 and for many areas south of the Pike. 

May take a while to dynamically cool to paste. Would rather be in the hills for sure.

The p-type maps seem to mirror 925mb temps on WxBell.

Large area of 0C that then crashes SE.5FCE8D67-DDB1-4438-B147-19E76C7BE8AA.thumb.png.d29d07afa29ea93896def9baf7b3222c.png

You will need to be in the meat of it, because otherwise it's 33-34F snow I think. We had trouble getting to 32 at like -4C at 925 earlier this season, nevermind -1C. Sure granted we did not have a dynamic system like this modeled...but it looks marginal unless it goes to town outside high elevations. JMHO.  There isn't a good cold drain either.

Obviously hills are better, but that is at the very least a bonafide warning event here...I'm on the NH border nust outside of 495.

Not to mention I still think this can capture a hair later.

Oh I didn't realize you were in Methuen now. Yeah... better up your way. 

For many we need a bit more cold around. It's a little too borderline.

Another weak storm looks likely, this trends same as Saturday’s storm

While you are quite the troll, you are pretty smart about the science, so why would you make a seemingly dumb statement?  Have we had even 1 storm in this sort of pattern all winter?  No.  Have we had a storm with enough blocking that we see multiple models doing capture/loop/stall?  No.  This is something different.

If you are going to continue to decide to troll, the committee requests that you be a smart troll, not a dumb one.

Happy with this trend in general... As modeled big hit for eastern / southeastern NY, WOR areas on northeast into northeast Mass.  Gets dicey for central CT, but room to work with that setup northward into northeastern Mass.  Still room for a more amped look that could trend this to more of an Adirondack' s event.  Hoping for some stability in future runs of the Euro...

Too bad this isn't a week later for disaster enthusiasts... 

There's a relatively rare Perigean spring tide scheduled for the Equinox this year, and having a system like a blend of the Euro/ICON/KR models ... would pretty much redistrict the entire shore civility from Cape May NJ all the way up to PWM Maine... (whether said civility wants it or not )

I view this as "if you are struggling at 33-34F light/mod snow, then it wasn't ever going to be great anyway"....maybe 6-7" paster becomes 2-3" slop storm, but the lowest 1,000 feet probably isn't going to be the difference between an 18" storm and a 4" storm. Maybe it's a 12-14" deck collapser instead of 18-20".

This is assuming that the mid-levels down to 925mb are a snow profile.

And it goes to town. That's what I mean anyways. I don't have an issue at -1C 925 at night if we are nuking the DGZ.

Yes. Totally on the "toss the clown map" train.....but people saying this is mainly rain inland are wrong.

I would include the 2018 March Nor'easter ( the first of the bunch ...) that year.

Yeah my view is that those BL temps won't take away a truly great storm...they might take away a run-of-the-mill warning event though. But truly great storms nuke 2" per hour rates for hours on end....run-of-the-mill warning events often do not...or if they do, it's not for very long.

So if we're sitting here putting 0.05" in the bucket every hour cursing at 34F white rain, my view is that we weren't missing out on anything epic to begin with. Yeah, I'd rather have 6-7" of paste than 2" of slop, but I won't lose a ton of sleep over it. At this point in a shitty season, I'm kind of on the big dog or bust train....give me 1.5-2 inches of QPF in 12 hours and I'd take my chances with -1C 925 temps.
