honestly if you are a SNE snow weenie, a 96 redux would be great. I don't remember the exact total from that blizzard"", especially since it was multi-part / south shore death bands.  Depth was like 33-34" at one point before the massacre

It sucked for my area....that would probably send me right over the edge after following up the string of rainers with a Boston CJ.

This is why I am paranoid about having arctic molasses over se Canada.....because unless I get under the mid level deformation, it's going to pin low level fronto to the coast and pork the ever living shit out of me yet again. It sounds absurd to worry about mesoscale shit at this juncture, but in my area it's like clock work and you can predict it well given some of these modeled set ups. The concern is two-fold....getting the precipitation up this far north, which Jan 96 struggled with (Jan 16 failed to do)...and not having the subsidence due to the arctic induced OES enhancement...a la Dec 2003, PD II and Jan 2022.

Like 5-7" of sand....about 10 miles south of me had 18"+. I was in Wilmington then, thankfully and was great there. But I am speaking from a Methuen POV.

That sucks!  I think the Berkshires got >2 feet so it must have been pure latitude.

Very vaguely...one of my earliest memories. I know my area actually got in the CF band, though and had around 20".

Ok..wow.  That’s real cool.  I was 14, almost 15 (in a month), and it was a real good storm, in a time that it just didn’t snow much at all.

All I ask is to not look at phantom epic patterns that are always 300 hours away. Brooklyn should just make an animation of the great pattern staying at the same hour for run after run lol.

C’mon…he’s a Pro, and shares what is possible.  You gotta know that there are no guarantees.  And You know this.  I actually appreciate his explanations.  Just goes to show that a great pattern, doesn’t mean it’ll produce anything.

I'm not questioning his expertise or knowledge. I just get skeptical of a big change until it gets inside D9-10. So far I'm seeing ensembles showing a change around D14. How many times do we see the pattern get significantly delayed and or not end up being as great as advertised? Do you know what phase/amplitude the MJO is looking like for early Jan?

The MJO is not a driver.  But No, I don’t know or really care what it is to be honest.  
 

But as I said, you need to know that these looks that are posted by Brooklyn, and Will, and Tip are for discussion purposes only.  Take it for what it’s worth…which is just a look.  The look can change. The look can morph…but it doesn’t mean it’ll produce.  
 

But I’ll take my chances with a good look anytime.   And anybody can be skeptical, but I want trained guys to post maps that look good when they do. Jmo.

I agree. I’m just not allowing myself to get emotionally hooked until I get inside of six days.

Looks like a NY eve/day threat on guidance. Might be more of a SWFE so latitude could be favored. Ray rejoices.

I know the warm-up has been muted for the week between Christmas and the years, but is there a cold air source? A scooter high or something? That is my birthday so it would be special.

Hard to tell, some signs it could be cold enough at least to start.

Yeah it’s all pretty marginal. 850s are warm, but dry so there’s room to wetbulb down near 0C up there. It looks a bit like early spring in the mid levels. Turn the flow westerly and we would torch…bring in precip or turn it E-NE and it’s a bit raw.
