Cam: I'm seeing more of 40N/70W setup (more south and east) for the most recent ensembles (GFS, NAM, & EURO)--- doesn't that bode well for precip of a lighter more fluffy nature?

Whoa, when did you start getting into model watching? Yeah that "benchmark" is key but the problem is that first storm going towards the Great Lakes.. That's going to send too much warm air north to us.
As far as fluffy nature, wouldn't be with this weekend.. Mid levels are borderline freezing so its going to be heavy wet snow if anything... UNTIL the storm moves away then more cold air comes in and will get lighter in nature.


The other thing to think about is IF the storm blows up, sometimes it generates its own cold air (pushes it down from the upper Troposphere) and so you can get slightly higher ratios. Those are the details that drive forecasters nuts

Snowing but not sticking. Temp 41 at 4:50pm. Now 35 at 5:50. The snow/precip cooled the air down.

New GFS made me say "whoa"..


Storm heading to Great Lakes is weak and makes the transfer off Virginia!


Powerful NorEaster sits at benchmark Saturday afternoon... Thick blue line important. South of that its rain. North its snow but that could trend colder still.


Big changes today trending colder and stronger with the coastal.





BUT WAIT ... THERES MORE???


Sunday another storm spits out from south to Mid Atlantic and this time there is cold air around! Notice where the darker blue line is now....over the Atlantic..


See the darker greens over CT? That's snow Sunday midday





Crazy active but what a mess for forecasters!!

Booyah! Everything I am seeing shows a colder trend (as well as a 40/70 setup).
