By your posts, I can't conclude that you're reading anything. I only see you going against anything Cambium says 100% of the time. Perhaps some references next time would help your case.

Not true..Cambium NAILED the last storm..and if I didnt give him credit I should have..However he is WAY to quick to get on the snow wagon and I sometimes point that out.

Well that is good to see…grasshopper! You stand against some stiff winds if you try not to hype winter weather on the East Coast. The biggest problem these days is that many of the sources for weather ( AccuWeather, the Weather Channel, Gil Simmons at Channel 8…etc)…are huge winter fans themselves. Consider the squabble now that Geoff Fox is gone from Channel 8:

Most people don’t realize that the real tragedy of GF leaving Channel 8 (from the perspective of the viewing public) is that Geoff Fox was NOT a winter fan. So unlike people like Gil Simmons, Dr. Mel, Brad Fields…etc … Geoff was not always spinning/hyping the coldest side of the forecast…trying to play down any chance of warm weather… gerrymandering his roundup of state wide snow totals/low temps…etc. Take the 12 noon Channel 8 News today: By 12:00 many areas of the state were well above freezing and it was just raining (it was 42 F in New Haven at noon)….yet Channel 8 in their typical absurd dramatic fashion, had “Glacier Gil” driving the “Mobile Weather Lab “ in the highest elevations of western Connecticut (shouting at us that the temp is still a “bitter 27 F”) trying to find a flake of snow (lol). Gil is the same guy who starts to try to spin the chance of snowstorms in the Tri-State area in October or tries to keep the winter hype going after early March. I once saw Gil do a long post about the upcoming winter season …in July when it was in the middle 90’s

As to the Friday storm: I think the low will spin out just to the south of Long Island…so expect 4 to 8 inches of snow state wide. It will turn colder this weekend and into next week but should stay sunny and dry. Most forecasts/models are now jumping on western Canada warming up and eastern Canada cooling down (finally!). Most people might not realize that much of Quebec has had near record warmth since December (the block sent the cold air south into the central/eastern USA – instead of through Quebec as it would normally). So the western USA will see above normal temps as January comes to a close and we move into Feb. To me this means the block over eastern Quebec will be weakening as we move into late winter...so perhaps late winter will see temps closer to normal (maybe even above) instead of colder than normal like we have seen in early winter. Almost every single NWS reporting station in the USA had a colder than normal December and January has been colder than normal (though not as much as December). So the block is weakening.

Calling your bluff... Tell me what the very latest model says as of 9:30pm. I say what I see, I dont say what I feel.

Times up but still calling your bluff because you never post any models or mention any models, you're more fascinated on the posts of just 2 members here.

LATEST MODEL That just came out is OTS, went too far south and has no energy with it, Not even new England gets much... generally 1-3 inches everywhere on this run...

Stay Tuned.

So now we have

3 models - Heavy snow CT
1 model - nothing in CT
2 models - light snow in CT

and we're only 3 days away...lol ... I will give my personal thoughts in the morning.

Best laugh of the day...I'd love to know what your "seein". Mirror?

edit: now I know why its easy for someone to point out when nothing happens and stay silent when something does happen.
