No matter what we are still going to get 3-6 inches of snow at the minumum. Even if the storm goes out to sea on Friday night, the strong clipper moving through on Friday will deliver snow.

Wow, this would be one helluva storm if this pans out.

That Euro is a dream (or nightmare if you lived through 78 for Boston.) Should be saved just to show what these models can dream up. Think we're due for a good hit but not sure this is it.

Imagine, if I had to break out the mid-fats... dreaming...

I need to ski my new Skilogiks in powder yet.

You just may get to do that on Saturday!

Things stayed good overnight and NOAA out of Albany has come out with a Winter Storm Watch. I might just get my chance to get to Magic this Sat!:grin:

So Winnchill, what's the potential for upslope in this?

Very good potential for S NH (Black, King Pine, Waterville, Sunapee, maybe Gunstock) thru S ME resorts (Sunday River, Black)

Really wouldn't call Black S NH

Really wouldn't call Black S NH

I know--I included them for upslope potential/slope orientation, that's all.

Now this is looking promising for this w/e!

and (drumroll please) Vermont?

 

[WinnChill]

and (drumroll please) Vermont?

I'm a drummer too, so bddddddddddd...CRASH....Vermont State Summary Page. Upslope may not be as strong for them as they benefit mostly from the Midwest portion of this system and then maybe backedge effects from the coastal low--sort of in between but still good potential for accumulation.

The amazing thing to me is that if you look at the "bigs" like Accuweather, etc... they're really downplaying this compared to the Euro model runs. I dont know if it's because they're going with the GFS (which was initially WRONG about this storm keep in mind) or if they're just being conservative, but there are Euro runs now showing around 10" in NJ where the above 1" to 3" is, and 16" to 20" in CT where their 6" to 12" range is. In other words, just going off the Euro, which has been most correct so far, the news outlets are running the risk of way underdoing this. Fingers crossed.

NOAA thinks 10-14" for SoVT! PLEASE let it happen!

 

[billski]

'cmon BTV, post your stuff. ALY is putting you to shame. And to think ALY used to be the sleepy one!

Note to self: little work getting done today.
Note to all: probability of crankiness have decreased to 0 to 10% except in areas of poor driving causing significant delays, where the factor could be as high as 90%.

As the NHC likes to say: "[You are] urged for preparations to protect life and property to be rushed to completion." And don't forget your boots.

Not a forecast like the above pics, but if you just want a glimpse of what the Euro is depicting....

It's funny how Dr. Jeff is maintaining radio silence. I guess he has no friends.

Not really complaining but that heavy band needs to shift north a bit. Want more in the ski areas and less on my driveway...

 

[billski]

Euro has been looking good on this one. Push it a wee bit nw and I'll be tickled white!

After light snow all day Friday this would be 8 PM Friday night. Now the heaviest snow we've ever seen but the best this winter has offered.
