Same sentiment here. Happy for those south of the VT border finally cashing in, but just a bit to freshen things up would be nice.  Seems like storms with the right airmass to get both a northern and southern NE hit is a thing of the past. 

Be nice to see an old fashioned storm go from Hatteras to Gulf of Maine giving everyone from Virginia to northern Maine a good snowstorm and with a legit cold air mass in place. It has been so long.

Wiz probably commented on this earlier i've been real busy with stuff so i haven't read through the pages but the 6Z GFS BUFKIT was pretty drool worthy for some points in CT. This is HVN pretty insane lift in the DGZ for a short time and it goes bonkers with some -50 to -60 ubs showing up in the omega. 12Z was obviously much more tamer with that hole over CT.

Winter storm warnings have been issued

AFAIK, they never had temp criteria for blizzard conditions. Not in the past 20 or 30 years anyway.

Seems a bit early.  Won’t be snowing in SNE for over 24 hours.

A quick Google search brought this up: "Issued for sustained or gusty winds of 35 mph or more, and falling or blowing snow creating visibilities at or below ¼ mile; these conditions should persist for at least three hours."

I wasn't aware that there was a temperature criteria.

There might be times where it’s below 1/4SM and windy, but I don’t think they’ll issue a BW.

FWIW, 18z NAM about 50miles south of 12z thru 24 hours (simply looking at precip field formation)

They used to a long time ago before that. I am pretty sure that old criteria was sub-20F.

Wow, yup might just forget the past 2 years for a few hours of that...add some lighting in there and call it a season...let's just hold that for 2 more days

Correct-probably until maybe 40-50 years ago?  MY entire formative years had the sub 20F criteria.  We met it 12/11-12, 1960 and very close 3/3-4, 1960.   I think the Feb 1967 storm did it and I guess by 78 the criteria changed.  I was in LA and I'll go to my grave with the disappointment of missing that storm.

That’s a mauling for central and western CT. Wow.  Fun to look at.

LOL...is NAM going to pull one of those 18Z whiffs like it did a few times before big ones in the past few years?
