12z GFS on Storm threat late Next week

First of all, I like what I have out except in southern New England where heavier amounts than the 4-7.99 I have are likely, in in the piedmont of pa and MD impressive snow has broken out, but alot of that area may come up a hair short of 4. This is now micromanaging an event which by and large will do as outlined, but its heaviest snow down in areas where rain wiped out snow from Godzilla

I will sum up the GFS next week with this map and leave it at that. I dont believe a trough will lock off in the rockies with a trough coming into the west coast and believe the threat of a major storm on the east coas next week with severe cold is still on the table, So 5 days from now, we can look back at this and laugh, or look at it and see how close it gets

Final 2012-2013 Winter Forecast


"Three words to describe Winter 2012-2013? Cold and Crazy."
[link to theweathercentre.blogspot.pt]

Absolute horse shit. We here in upper RI and southeast Massachusetts are used to the "projected" 4-8 inches of snow. This isn't a "huge nor'easter" for us, this is typical. Give us a storm that drops a foot of snow in 18 hours, then you can call it a super storm or f-bomb or whatever the fuck else you want. As far as the models show right now and from what I see outside, this is a typical late December/early January snow storm for the area I live in.

They just upped it to 6-12 inches, with the heaviest around Boston. Let me explain how things work here in this region. The heavy snow 9/10ths of the time happens west of the 495 corridor in Mass and in RI it happens in western RI and eastern CT. When they say general accumulation of say 4-6 inches, we're lucky if we get 4 inches. I've lived in Rhody for 11 years and lived in Mass for 20, so I know how our weather works. In my 11 years here, there was only 1 time we got more than they projected and that was 4 years ago when they projected 6-8 inches and when it was all set and done, we actually got 14 inches with snow drifts over 2 feet. But every storm before and since has dropped LESS than they have "projected". SO knowing they say we can expect 6-12 inches with the heavy amounts in higher elevations, in my area we can expect about 6-8 inches, if we're lucky. However 4-6 inches is all we should really expect in southeastern Ma and northern RI. I will be really surprised if we wake up and have more than 6 inches. Heck, where I live, we have had storms where they said to expect 6-8 inches and we got NOTHING. Meanwhile 2 towns over they get dumped on. I hate how "meterologists" (spelling?) generalize regions and ignore the fact that the weather can be very different just a few miles down the street. I do appreciate the work Luis is doing though, hope this helps.

Bam-wham-boom- here it comes again!
