Disaster Brewing in Boston
Advertisements [?]
The local mets need to open their eyes. It is looking more and more like a major blizzard late sunday into late monday or early tuesday. The support for this storm has become overwhelming in the last 2 runs, and there has been progressively more snow with each run of the GFS and ECMWF (most important two models in Eastern Coast Snowstorms.)
Everyone from Philly north to Canada are under the gun.

Total Precip (GFS latest run)


Total Precip (GFS

Based on area temps, this looks to be approx. 20 INCHES!

ECMWF's latest run:

Major snows for Boston!
The rest of New England also get hammered.
This is a pretty good bet, but the NWS Boston and the local mets on TV are downplaying BIG TIME. This is too close and too potentially huge to downplay. There may be a DISASTER!
NYC 3-5"
Philly 1-3"
Hartford (very tough, could be much, MUCH more) 5-10"
Providence 18-24"
Boston 18-24"
Portland 12-18"

(Philly-NYC-Hartford could get more, but this is my current best guess.)
I'm am not a professional meteorologist, but I do know what I'm talking about, and this is probably going to be a very big, MAJOR BLIZZARD for Eastern New England especially. Stay tuned.
