do u really think with Franks level of excitement and confidence tgat tgat is a issue? This storm is coming no dpubt and I am nodding towars all or nearly all snow as are many mets.
I also have that same fear too JMan. Most of us lived through that god awful heartbreak with March 2001 when models were in agreement inside 3 days for a historic event only to fail miserably. That event has taught me too temper my expectations with any snow threat. As each model run commences and we get closer to the event, the tension will rise. Today's 12z suite and more so tonights 00Z runs will be unbearable. In my opinion, if we are able to hold serve by Sunday's 12z suite, we will be good to go.

The Pacific energy will not be fully onshore until 00z and 06z Sunday. Same with the polar energy and the energy in the STJ. If we are going to see the late trends in the models its between now and 12z tomorrow. Eggs shells for sure. Its no longer a matter of if, but rather, how much.

do u really think with Franks level of excitement and confidence that that all rsin or ots is sn issue? This storm is coming no doubt and I am nodding towards all or nearly all snow as are many mets.

It defies logic but as others have said, we've all been burned in the past. We've been tracking this a week out and things sometimes disappear (AND COME BACK STRONG). A deal is never done till its done. I don't think I have ever seen Frank and other very very knowledgabe this confident about a storm at this stage in the game. Yes, its eggshells until it happens!!

Not to mention the heartbreak of Jan 2015 for many of us. For 3 days, it was a matter of how many feet. I'll never forget Nick Gregory's final call map. He had this large swath of pure white across the whole NYC metro area: 2-3 feet! And this was at 6 pm the night of! Alas, the storm kicked too far east and the snow bands got destroyed on the way back to the shore. Northern regions (esp. NE) did just fine, but most of our whole area got 6" of backend snow and nothing else.

The moral of the story: It's looking good and it may yet look even better, just don't count them chickens!

The models seem too consistent for this to be a miss. But exact track is still crucial so give it another 24 hours. That said, if this thing misses us after all this (like March 2001 for instance), it will definitely be categorized as a Bustzilla.

SREFs are very nice. They lean just inside the BM. Man oh man this will be very close for the coast. Gotta smell the rain to see the heavy snow though. Whoever is just west of the r/s line will see Roidzilla amounts.

You know, I'm almost wondering if this could just end up looking more like a juiced up front. Not saying it will, just saying that I can see how it could go to that, and not really ball up with a classic comma-head structure until it reaches northern New England.

Many people along the coast think it won't be much here I think they are wrong. Even with mixing issues don't you think its still a big hit?

What differences are there in terms of sensible weather?

Shorter storm with lower totals, but a true "fast and furious" event. Chances of coastal mixing would also likely be increased.

No I think euro is just inside benchmark GFS is coastal hugger but like frank I think mentioned the GEFS ensembles were east in other words GFS is in its own camp.

WOW...I just checked Accu for my local forecast: 8-12"! I think I'd give up some of the higher end potential for some certainty as to all snow...

by Guest Sat Mar 11, 2017 8:56 am

Every map and site I've seen has a minimum 10" for here, except for AccuWeather which has a total of 3-6".

Simply mesmerizing that now a single member of the 0z EPS has a SLP of > or equal to 1000mb within that mean! Going to be one of the strongest storms seen during this century thus far.
