No thank you. This looks like a repeat of the 12/17 storm

The temporary fixes to the electrical infrastructure would be tested. “Held together by a thread” comes to mind as I drive around and see all the mess still leaning over the wires and with the frost settling in ground again…no rain please.

40/60 split between 6-12" snow/2-4" rain.

Then there's this.

Can't imagine a worse scenario than getting snow load on trees and lines, then gusty winds. At least I know the genny is ready.

I'm sitting here having to hope this cuts WAY west. We need a solid CAD to keep those winds from mixing down.

I can't remember the last time GYX mentioned anything beyond D7, so they seem concerned.

After a brief break on Monday with high pressure passing
through New England, eyes are already turning to the next system
for next Tuesday and Wednesday. Although it`s still 7-8 days
away, models have been very consistent in bringing a
strengthening system into the Northeast, though there remains
high uncertainty as to whether this would be an inland cutter
with wind and rain, or a storm featuring more coastal
redevelopment and snowfall. Either way, POPs are quite high from
this far out and were only reduced from NBM`s 90% POPs due to
the risk of timing discrepancies from this far out. While it`s
still too early to sort out the details, a potentially impactful
system already looks likely in the Tuesday-Wednesday time frame
next week. Additionally, tides will be approaching their
monthly peaks by the middle to later portions of next week, so
this will be one more factor to monitor with this system.

I’m just glad they’re mentioning the possibility of coastal redevelopment.. I’ve been sort of stuck on the idea that this isn’t just a cutter as modeled. Maybe the demise of this storm on the 7th.. if that’s what ends up happening.. can actually help this? But I agree.. We don’t need those winds.

So many modeled trofs, especially the longer range potent closed lows, have really evolved from like hour 150-100 into more benign, or separated, or sheared energy.

 The lead time gives me hope for some positive changes. At least away from a nasty wind and coastal food threat.

Looks like a couple more "washouts" coming. I am ready for spring.

colder solution will she transfer?

It’s close.. not there yet.. but this looks attainable from here. Like.. if that low can make it to the Tennessee Valley, then transfer. That high to the north looks better too. Insane amount of qpf.

Probably enough to clinch a positive precipitation departure for Binghamton a mere third of the way through the month.

As we get toward the end of the forecast period, focusing on Tuesday
into Wednesday, global models along with their ensembles remain
consistent in showing a deepening and potentially impactful low
pressure approaching the Northeast. What track this system takes
remains to be seen, but rain, strong winds, snow, and coastal
flooding are all possible.

Unfortunately, I can't post maps at the moment.. but both the GFS and GDPS look wintry! 

They sure do. Got a week to work on #2
