You and me are among the few that are fine with the chase but always enjoy the actual event the best. So many lose something once it starts...

Count me among the old stalwarts who still enjoy <1/4 mi. vis. SN+ and the ability to be out in it vs. the "sick" radar image on the computer screen.

as the sun goes down it's time to hide the women and children

pete's heavy heavy winter is upon us......last chance for any and all to repent

most everyone at this point is jackpot hunting.....W/CT berks? LWM to ORH to C Ct. ? NW RI to N. shore?

wondering wether i go to bed at 10-11 or just pull and all nighter. it looks like GFS gets precip in here faster tonite.

dissing the two old guys, you are cutoff. bouncers enroute

Not sure if I'll see the brunt of the CCB, but I'm pretty sure I won't dryslot. Hope some nice deformation banding parks itself over here.

I actually love where we sit with this one. We pretty much have no shot at dryslotting and have a great shot at a deform band pivoting over us as the storm turns NE. I am kind of nervous about banding also though. This is the type of storm where the heavy stuff (1-3" per hour) will fall in about 8 hours. What if you are in an area of lighter precip for a couple of hours? Thats about 3-6 off of your total right there.

The one thing I hope for is that the radar fills completely in, unlike the boxing day storm.

If it does, I can see it look something like this...maybe a 25 miles east.

It's about game time. If the NAM is going to be right we'll see a mega explosion of precip n/s over /just east of eastern NC/VA/DE in the next 2 hours and we should have balls to the walls t/storm type precip off the jersey coast by 830-900.

The 18z NAM did seem pretty good placing some of the lift/precip just off the Jersey coast as we approach 0z.

I hope someone here records these radars because the next 4 hours should be nothing short of spectacular.

I'm confident that the 00z NAM will start chipping away at QPF.....likely to end up with a 1.5" bullseye, as opposed to greater than 2".

Did anyone address my concern about snow numbers? I still think it's a potential flag. Still paltry relative to qpf and temps region wide.

Nobody answered.

I think the flag is - we have to watch the next few hours. Let's face it once the echoes in central PA get to the coast they need to absolutely exploded as forecast while combining with some lift coming across VA/NC.

Our 21z 12km WRF has incredible snowfall totals... jackpot HVN-BAF with widespread 20"+ totals.

All the NWS and broadcast mets are ratcheting down the numbers to the west (including IMBY here in Amherst MA) .. I'm taking this as an encouraging sign, given that history shows when the numbers drop in this timeframe we end up doing much better than prog'd. Or at least it feels that way. :snowman: :snowman:

Count me in. I can sit and stare at the flakes falling in the floodlights all night. Speaking of flakeage, a few drifting down now. Nice.

Remember when it was just we three. The la Ninaists scoffed, the Warministas smirked, where are they now? All the warm after Christmas calls, the 1/2 of normal snowfalls if we were lucky, yet we were unwavering. Now everybody is trying to get into the party, hey, is that Socks trying to sneak in?lol

love the chase, love showtime even more...

will be out there taking as much footage as warranted by conditions, and encourage the same of all SNE members!
