At least they are calling themselves out and they are probably right with that too

...but FOUR INCHES!? The MINIMUM QPF expected cannot support that AT ALL.

RAP Model

Just woke up, how are things looking? I just looked at the NAM and it looks pretty ugly but I've heard good things about the EURO and GFS.

I think SE mass / the cape is gunna be the jackpot. Theyve been snowing since this morning with bands off the ocean.

Topsfield, Mass already has 8 inches of snow just from ocean-effect banding. Jerks. lol

Ladies and gentlemen, lets all give a round of applause to the NAM model for finally caving 2 hours before the storm starts. Yes, 18z NAM has caved. Lmao...

At 32 here. Should drop into mid 20s once precip starts.

Good, now can we get a GD Blizzard Warning in the City please? #jeezUpton

Now I can breathe easier - I did not know if they would call of school since they hug the NAM model at my school!    

Precip shield looks better than i thought it would. Right now....jeez

frank- looking at the radar filling in quickly, i cant see this holding off until 7 in the city- looks like it can start in an hour or so. what are your thoughts?

4-5 pm

Ace, you're right. Wow. I checked it an hour ago and was like 'yeah, ok. It'll fill in.' But NOW it has REALLY started to fill in quicker than I thought it would. Snow will begin before 7pm I think.

Ace like I said we are gonna get a good snow im thinking easily 8 to 12. Especially with more qpf coming in on latest runs

Me too, my map had us in 6-12. I think we can get a foot plus the way its looking right now IMO... Liking franks map better for coastal areas....

18z nam looks nice and radar filling in. im getting more confident that we will see the higher snow totals that are forcasted. they already cancelled my daughters school for tomorrow in white plains.

I really am blown away at how hard it is snowing in Eastern Mass already.

Twc still saying 5 to 8 ?

They take a while to update anything with TV and local Mets either way i got a case of heineken to enjoy the storm

TWC is completely brainless. Pay no mind.

Mayor De Blasio said he will not cancel school tomorrow until early AM tomorrow if it's warranted.

What does frank mean by nam crashed

NAM caved, he means it has finally come into agreement with the other models which have been consistent the past 24 hours with QPF amounts..

Heineken my favorite
