Couple things to watch:

We have 2mb/3hr pressure falls centered over eastern Kentucky -- slightly north of the model consensus low center at 18z

Also -- keep an eye on the radar over Arkansas -- precip shield is notably more robust than modeled, and threatening to look a little more convective.

Probably an obvious answer to this, but what does the comma head look like on the model runs? I have tried to look for it when you guys mentioned it, but never see it.

It's basically the representation of the radar echos when a system is really going to town.. Take a peek on the last page when the NMM and ARW are posted and there is a little slither of precip over boston.. that is basically the tip of the comma head

Ryan, I just picked up my kids from preschool. The teacher and two other parents were talking about the snow. One person heard 8-12", one heard 3-6" and one heard 1". Unbelievable how information gets out to the public..\

Yesterday I wasn't on TV but I was expecting 2"-4" but did think higher amounts were possible if things developed faster and trended NW.

I think with 18 hours lead time to bump things up from 2-4 to 4-8 doesn't really negatively impact people. They'll say "wow that sucks"

Don't underestimate the public's ability to not understand what is said to them in plain English.

I never saw Bouchard waiver on Channel 7 in Boston. I saw a broadcast just prior to 6pm last night where he had all of us in 6+. Kudos to him.

The prob with WHDH (and other stations prob) is when Bouchard goes 6+, then Dylan comes in the next morning saying 2-4". happens all the time. happened this morning. of course she just updated the map. lol

Yeah but she's good looking so it's okay.

Then we all freeze our privates off next week....this winter ftw.

Was supposed to ski again this weekend, the -32 degree air temp at Bretton Woods was a turn off...
