Ray, relax though..for now you look good!

hey dorchester... see my posts earlier... the trends don't look good for you / me / fella and others in boston burbs, and i would not be surprised to see one final nudge NW in the 0Z-6Z suite, i hope i'm wrong but i've been here before... high pressure is not in ideal position to keep such intense storms from plowing up into LI / over CC

i hope i'm wrong but the trend is not good

Key words bolded.....................

I think this is a classic over trend....this will subtlety settle SE again. I'm ready for bands to spread in from the SE and flood the radar in a seemingly endless deluge from the snow gods. Thinking of walking down the street with a few friends to the bar during the peak!

I wouldn't be surprised if Boston gets screwed because I'm here. Really, I'm making efforts to get out west before this thing hits so that the east can get hammered.

funny, we were supposed to fly out to LA yesterday and come back into BOS on Monday. my wife got sick at the last minute and we canceled, so I was pretty relieved thinking the flight back would be canceled anyways. Looks like a solid bet.

I have to admit, Gray, Maine put one hell of a discussion together, nice job. I agree and applaud them. For me in the Portland, ME area, this may be one of the most exciting storms I can remember. I think I will be on the line that see's between 15-20 inches.

I actually checked to see if Ekster did the write-up (he didn't). 24 hours +/- to game time. What an unbelieveable feeling ... I don't want to go to sleep tonight ... or tomorrow ..... or tomorrow night.

Go for a nice walk tonight and breath in the fresh air...Ahhhh, the calm before the storm! Nothing better. Chaos in t-minus 24 hours
