Boston will be pushing 3 years on its last snowfall of 4 inches or more next winter 

Unreal.   Even here I had two 6 inches snowfalls in each of the last 2 horrid winters

Those CMC runs that showed the fantasy snow over NY metro had the primary as far E as Cleveland.gem_mslp_pcpn_frzn_us_16.thumb.png.300210902ff6854edbda65a17a26c933.png

 

It's winding up over Green Bay. This was recognizable with the models keying in on a stronger WAR (as they had all season long). That primary had no route to come further E at that point...and that's not a recipe for snow around here in January let alone April.

Areas near the shore could see gusts near 60 mph since there is a 50KT flag just beneath the inversion.

These winds are already happening.  I recently recorded a gust to 42 mph at my station at Cherry Grove.  A nearby station has recently recorded a gust to 50 mph.  I have no doubt that there will be gusts over 60 mph along the barrier beaches and would not rule out gusts to near hurricane force with this event.

Yep. The CMC 10:1 ratio “snow” maps from Tropical Tidbits that were getting shared and hyped for the simple reason that they showed snow were laughable. They had zero support from any other global or mesoscale model from the word go but people ran with them anyway…..

As expected….massive fail incoming for the CMC suite with the snow fantasies it kept insisting on, run after run. Embarrassing 

Even in downtown Marquette. It's snowing there but not as heavy as forecasted . Areas to the north of their is still going got get blasted .

Over here , this is a NNE snowstorm. Some model runs were way too cold for areas near the lakes and way interior.

Some people are holding on faith in SNE.

I had an 8 inch surprise snowstorm in February.

And yet some people are still using 10:1 for this upcoming event .

many in that forum are in denial 

you would think some would learn-a ratter winter is a ratter winter...what can go wrong will.    And where's the cold air?  there's zero cold except way north and at elevation.

They are depending on the coastal storm.

Looking pretty likely Boston ends under 10” for the winter which is absolute basement level disaster. Even I had 15.5”  this season. If you take the last 4 winters from 20-21 on it’s been about as good here on the LI N Shore as it’s been there-and of course the last 2 winters have been complete trash. 21-22 was better there but 20-21 better here. 
 

Looking quite dicey on the coastal flood threat tomorrow AM, major flood predicted in Freeport and moderate to major almost everywhere else on the S Shore bays. That plus maybe 2” more rain will means lots more flooding everywhere. Power might be out/trees down as well if these 60 mph gusts happen on saturated ground.

Snow depth maps are awful for them . 10 :1 is slightly better but this isn't 10:1 until you get to NNE.

It’s amazing how that area has been so screwed the past couple of winters.  Many 10:1 model runs calling for 6”+ for the Boston area for this event and now it looks like mainly sleet / rain unless you’re near the NH border.

I have had 25” for this season so it’s a C+ for me.  Been a tough season for a lot of places.

The southeast ridge keeps screwing areas.

If it’s getting to the point now where SE ridges will regularly link up with the -NAO which negates the benefit of blocking episodes, we’re in big trouble and probably SNE too. Not sure if there have been historical periods where this happened.

Agreed. You either need to be near a lake or extreme NNE to get good winters now. Boston,bdl and orh will continue to see mild/snowless winters

If that's truly the case many ski places will go under....I'm talking Poconos SE NY CT MA not VT NH ME

Jones Beach already gusting close to 50 mph ahead of the strongest winds expected later today into the evening.

The only one (besides people who aren’t mets) who was hyping an I-95 corridor snowstorm for this week was JB. He was also suggesting that April, 1982 was a good match. Not surprising coming from him though. He’s been completely off the rails since November

I think he's been off the rails longer than that, but that's for an entirely different thread IMO.

It took basic pattern recognition to realize that this was never a storm in terms of snow for us, and would be dicey in SNE but a fairly small shift would’ve kept it interesting along I-90. There’s as usual no preexisting cold to speak of, it’s another storm packed with moisture and the SE ridge is trying to make it cut as much as it can. Even if there’s a NAO block, we’re in trouble with the mega SE ridge. And oh by the way, it’s April.

The winds will be the most interesting element of this one.  I would add rain but we've had a dozen 2 inch rain events since last summer.
