Hey guys,

New to this board. In Medway, Ma, pretty excited about this storm. Work in Brockton, family in Middleboro, looking like myself and most people I know are going to get drilled by this.

I am pretty new at interpreting models but even with my limited knowledge looks like me and most people I know are getting slammed by this.

At this range, how much uncertainty should I expect? Prior experience tells me models should have a good hold on track at this point, just curious about QPF and ratiios + location of dry slot since the low is so close to benchmark. Is it possible low will track inland and move rain/snow line at this point? Historical evidence?

Seems like most TV meteorologists are being more conservative than the last few storms, despite the fact that this one seems to have far more model support than any of the others with less of a timeframe. I assume that is due to jumping the gun. This system seems far more predictable and "classic" though so I am letting myself get excited.

This board is great though - in the past I have read a few of the "major" forums that deal with DC-NE and the amount of crying about delmarva-NJ MAYBE missing storms completely occludes any reveling about NE maybe getting a monster.

Good luck to everyone, especially those in the zones I care about ;P.

The big issue for CT/LI/W MA is going to be how fast does the mid level low close. If it closes on the Jersey Shore this thing goes through ACK sound and crushes us. If it takes a bit longer to close like the GFS has been showing then it's wagons NE to KGAY for the big snows.

I'm comfortable in 8"+ in most of CT... but I'm not sold on widespread 12"+ just yet. I'm getting there though and the SREFs ticking NW helped me.

Welcome to the boards. I grew up in Medway, where abouts are you.

Medway tends to get hit well in these situations, had 36" in the April Fools Storm.

Do you think my 10-20'' call for CT (I went 8-16'' for far W. CT) is a bit too aggressive?

Things look good for a solid thump here on the East Slope, the NAM notwithstanding, but I think there is a decent chance they could trend even better. Think that is reasonable? Sure is an awful lot of spiking of the ball over the NAM.

I am close to the Medway police station on Village street, towards the river.

Supposed to be at work in Brockton at 7 AM wednesday but looks like a work from home kind of day at this point.

By the way, Taunton updated forecast discussion for 10 pm.

-

WILL THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND WIND LEAD TO BLIZZARD CONDITIONS?

POSSIBLY...HEAVY SNOW WILL BRING 1/4 MILE VSBYS AT TIMES AND WINDS

ALONG THE COAST SHOULD AT LEAST GUST NEAR 35 MPH...STRONGER ON THE

CAPE AND ISLANDS. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO BE NEAR BLIZZARD ESPECIALLY

IN PARTS OF RI AND EASTERN MASS. BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT

SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO MOVE TO A BLIZZARD WATCH.

Good stuff!

Just looked at the NAM, and visibility is reduced to about 1\4 mile in Goosebumps from head to toe.

:lol:

I would feel pretty good if I were you, you just might be in a great spot. You're much familiar with your area though than I ever will be and know what it takes for your area to come close to the jackpot so perhaps I'm wrong but you should do pretty damn well.
