Ok now I'm starting to get nervous. This is like the team that celebrates with two minutes left in the game and then loses.

But what the hell it's been a frustrating period since 2/16/14.

tonights runs and tomorrows are crucial my excitement is rising but 3 days to go before the goods arrive.

Hey guys.....just looking for some thoughts/advice. Traveling with my son tomorrow to Marlborogh Massachusetts for a hockey tournament. Tournament is expected to end Saturday afternoon. What do you think for potential timing of this?? Should I be planning on staying put Saturday night in Massachusetts and not returning home to north shore western Suffolk county on LI?.....I guess looking for timing on LI and Massachusetts.....

by **Dunnzoo** Wed Jan 21, 2015 2:47 pm

I would stay overnight Saturday...visibility could be pretty bad at times and 95 is not fun on a good day

Prepare to sleep in MA Saturday night. Absolutely. Unless this storm suddenly goes OTS which is looking doubtful

I agree with this. All indications are that its going to be bad during that time frame. A little quality time with the kiddo.

Piece of BIG TIME advice - do not think you will be able to drive I(% or such roads during a said snowstorm - tried that once and do not jeopardize you or your sons safety - stay overnight - maybe 2 nights up there cause MA is going to get pummeled. You will be driving into the teeth of the storm. If you can get out Friday night sure but travelling IMHO Saturday afternoon is going to be bad unless things change

Thanks guys!!! Do you think I will have a problem getting back Sunday? I am a little nervous....I am taking him alone to this tourney and my husband is staying home this time with our other children.....

by **rb924119** Wed Jan 21, 2015 3:03 pm

Just checked the EURO ensembles, and there is increasing support for H5 to close off earlier. Granted, it's still too late, but only JUST. If we can get it six hours earlier we're in the money. That said, there are still only about (maybe) 30-40% of the ensemble members that close it off the same time as the OP, and only 4% (yes, four) that close it off where we want it to.

by **Dunnzoo** Wed Jan 21, 2015 3:05 pm

You may be able to get back late Sunday, but be prepared to stay until Monday. A lot still to be determined. Make sure you have supplies in your car just in case.

Depending on the timing of the snow, you might want to consider driving west inland away from the storm and spending the night in Springfield or Amherst, which is a little more than an hour's drive. They may get less snow there and then you'll have a straight shot down I-91 to Hartford on Sunday, where you can pick up I-95 or I-84. Hotels may be cheaper and more abundant out that way too. But I would check to see how far the snow has advanced before heading out.

by **jmanley32** Wed Jan 21, 2015 3:21 pm

Wow about half euro ensembles are big hits. Some are oddly all the way inland but those are outliers. Lp placements really consolidated within benchmark for most part and sub 980!

Sound advice. I was thinking the same.

by **jmanley32** Wed Jan 21, 2015 3:22 pm

When I say way inland I mean the snowfall not the lp placement they are all pretty close to li to just around benchmsrk

by **Frank_Wx** Wed Jan 21, 2015 3:26 pm

I like how everyone is giving advice. Quality posters makes this a quality board. I'm happy.

I never named team names, but if the shoe fits.

by Sferra01 Wed Jan 21, 2015 3:29 pm

Thank you all sooo much!! I really appreciate it!! I am almost hoping they cancel at this point.....

Ryan maue tweeted euro could deliver 40 to 70 mph gusts to coastal locations. Never been in snow and wind like that as I can remember. Deepens 44mb into Canada from Carolinas wow.

Not during BDB?

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Wed Jan 21, 2015 3:37 pm

FWIW - Back to 90% probability of snow for Saturday from 60% at noon from 90% at 6am, on TWC.

They're like a roulette wheel.
