Looks similar. Ceiling on this one could be a bit higher.

In my experience, the big dogs are usually pretty synoptically obvious and show up on guidance earlier than most events. Solution stability brought on by larger, more stable parts. The PV streamer that comes off the Hudson Bay TPV and the timing of the southern stream shortwave are probably the parts with the biggest slippage, but given that these are currently large, stable systems means it's rather unlikely all of this is a hallucination.

 

Appears this might be the first legit warning level threat for areas further North and Northeast this winter season.   

Going to see what the TPV and the severe - AO can do. Should be very interesting to observe in the days ahead.

Precipitation is forecast to exit the region on Monday , but river
flooding could linger through Monday evening as water slowly drains
through the river system. Below normal temperatures and mostly dry
conditions are favored through the middle parts of next week. The
next chance for precipitation will be Wednesday into Thursday when a
coastal low may bring coastal low to the region with wintry
precipitation possible.

Pretty sure all those point and click forecasts are automated from model output.

Pretty sure. Snow was in the long range forecast last week for this week, too.

Looks like a great spring New England ski season imo, for those who care, me. New England has been getting crushed lately and VT resorts are building a deep base now. And signs are for a reasonably chilly March not a sudden thaw. Once to April on sunny days it feels great no matter the pattern just some years they don’t have a ton of snow left to enjoy it. This year looks good for April ski season at Killington, Sugarbush and Sugarloaf. Stowe too but I don’t do Vail owned resorts anymore until they make some major management changes.

Yea Vail owned mountains (epic pass) are a mess. People at Park City over new years weekend were hiking back up the mountain the lift line was so long.  They under staff, didn’t use the pass $ to make upgrades the way Ikon mountains have, then started a labor fight with their workers for refusing some modest demands.  They’re just a mess. Shame some great resorts being mismanaged. I love Breckenridge and Stowe but won’t ski them again until major changes happen.  
 

Then west south of Utah is also having a crappy snow year. Taos in NM has like 70” total right now.  This makes the issue worse by limiting terrain they can open.
 

 I was thinking of a trip there but not this year. Just going to hit up VT and ME a couple times in March and April. 

I’m going to post a summary of my Revelstoke trip.  Y’all need to get out there.  Even non skiers it’s a snowmobile Mecca also but you ski it’s got to be a bucket list thing. I skied all week with no lines at all.  Worst wait was 10 mins at the main lift on a powder morning. Most of the time no line at all.  Snowed  14” while we were there and they had 250” before we got there.

Just randomly gust to 35 after being basically dead calm all day. 
I knew the front was coming through but this is powerful - must have caught LWX off guard too, no mention of headlines in any recent disco and they issued the advisory after the winds hit.
