Really no point in waiting so time to raise 'em. UPDATED snowfall map as confidence grows in what looks to be a crippling and potentially historic nor'easter for the region. 24-30" amounts widespread with locally higher amounts in banding.

❄️🚨 MAJOR SNOWSTORM ON THE WAY !! First Call Snow Map for Tuesday!! Likely still some changes to be made and based on what guidance looks like right now I imagine I will be adding a swath of 12"+ to this map somewhere. Coastal flooding is also a major concern as well.

The lack of a -EPO showing up in these projections is a *slight* pause and could cause a lack of cold air but that 500mb pattern projection for the end of the month (matches up with phases 8/1/2 of MJO) is very, very favorable for ❄️

Being completely honest, I don’t think the system will turn out as bleak as the GFS is depicting. We are in *prime* territory where the GFS loses a storm only to bring it back and still not even in NAM range so it is very much still worth watching

Current thoughts on the upcoming storm... It is still a good bet that 6"+ falls across a decent area, but becoming a bit concerned about mixing and a lack of strength in the system as a whole (which would lead to less QPF). So expect changes but this is what I've got for now ❄️

Check the trend on the *positioning* of the -NAO block. Along with a better trend over Alaska, these are the type of favorable changes that you want to see first winter weather. Not saying it’s a guarantee but my concern was always with the placement of blocking
