Yes, it's clearly trucking NE.

Out of curiousity, how far is ACK from the BM does anyone know precisely?

Also what do you think of Okemo? I'm hearing it's kind of fu fu?

It's ok. Not my cup of tea but it's got a lot of intermediate terain to spread out on. Heven't been in a few years.

Your call is useless

Slightly belligerent tonight, it's ok, I remember the first time I got drunk. What's your call? Put it out there so we can have another useless call.

Your call or your wish?popcorn.gif

No. I actually think that's where this will end up and I think that might be to close even for me. I could see taint all the way back here with a strong enough system.

Ukie is west.. not sure exactly where but it's more amped than the GFS by 72 with more ridging ahead.

I am pretty sure this will be rain along the coast. There's not much blocking and this is a powerful s/w. The ensemble means are pretty far west with a lot of them (something like half) turning to rain on the coast.

You may be fooled by the color scheme? Actual hts are about the same out ahead. Color schemes are different scales for each model...look carefully...

Edit...hts over the OV are a bit higher but not a huge difference imho.

I love Okemo midweek nonholiday, spacious, uncrowded and great for rec skiers like you and me

We're playing around with the idea of it next weekend...change of pace. Seems nice, little fu fu for me but....

It's not wheat and chaff. The guy simply doesn't play well. That's why he works out of a closet. No normal workspace would have him. Certainly a talented Met but :whistle:

Agreed and it's a shame because I like the guy. He's pretty funny at times, just gets so freaking pissed off at people he doesnt know.

Right over the BM.

And yet still uncomfortably toasty.

Interesting to me that we are seeing some movement east and clustering around the BM again.

I know. Ill end up with rain and inland areas will get 12"+. Rinse wash repeat. I've gotten more satisfaction out of model runs than what has actually transpired.

I saw news footage from Wareham this week and it looked like there was plenty of snow on the ground. What has been your total?

Nope.. just look at an overlay of the two. UK is color GFS is lines. You can see that each color contour is 100+ miles north of the corresponding GFS line contour in the ridging ahead of the storm.

Also at the surface it's 1mb stronger and 100 miles farther north in AL/MS by 72 hours. It's not a huge difference, actual pretty decent agreement finally, but it's definitely a little more amped. We'll see when this comes out fully later, but I'm pretty sure it would be solidly west of the GFS (50-100), perhaps up to 200 miles.

I think all the difference are trivial except the position of the low. That may not be.

What's your current snowcover? I have about 4 inches on the ground here. I drove to the Warwick Mall less than 30 miles west/NW and I'd say the snowcover up there is quadruple what I have.

I don't understand the optimism here, as much as I'd like to believe it for the Boston metro area... what am I missing?

GFS trending west towards the ETA solution that brings rain to much of SNE, a solution that the EURO had several runs ago. Even the benchmark track looks warm, but I fear this will track even closer. Northern NE sits good at this point, imo.

I hope I'm wrong. I'd rather see a scraper than a soaker changing the city's deep snowbanks into glaciers.

There had been solid snow cover all winter but nothing rediculous. I'd say about 2-3" depth. 24" for the season

That blows! Sorry. Too bad because in some years (1995-96, 2004-05, others) Wareham has cleaned up. My friend had a GF there for a few years and I used to visit in the winter during 95-96.

I'm going out to walk the dog in a moment....if you meet me I'll explain the whole thing. I'll wait 5 minutes to see if you respond....

Euro, GFS are both snowstorms for us. 12Z UKMET is probably as well. Now what will happen? Who knows? I expect at least one of these incoming storms to changeover...we can't go an entire winter with mainly snow events around here....or maybe we can....

The Cape is having a rough winter once you toss out the pre-Christmas surprise, but the Cape does a lot better than most people think. There aren't any statistics to back this up but if you check out all the PNS statements from BOX and Upton over the years you'll find the Cape gets more snow than the CT Shoreline from Clinton on east all the way to the South Coast of Rhode Island because when so many storms redevelop these areas shut off while the Cape continues snowing.

HPC desk says 2 inches for SNE and 2 inches for SE CNE.

i like S VT for this storm........mt snow FTW

Wonder where in this set up with a HP not yet scooting in from the west (wednesday am) how far east the BL warmth gets? LL ESE FLOW past wachusett..?...monads?....GC

Just verbatim HPC track how far west would BL "warmth" make it.
