2/10- Close call Thursday, big weekend trouble

Good Tuesday all-

Well, today is going to be a very uninteresting weather day in terms of things falling from the sky, but it'll be more entertaining in the model world as the Euro and GFS duke out the Thursday storm. The 6z GFS appeared to be caving to the Euro, which would mean we dodge the worst of it, but it's still worth keeping an eye on just in case. The problem, though, is that arctic cold follows that, with temps below 0 and highs in the single digits if it comes together as we think it is. Finally, to add insult to injury, the models are also coming into agreement that Saturday afternoon we could be looking at a monster snowstorm...and the potential on that one is huge. Let's see what plays out. I'll update later tonight after the 18z GFS (around 6 or 6:30)

Today in weather history- February 10, 1983- A major nor'easter buries the East coast from Virginia to Connecticut, dropping 38" in parts of Virginia, 22" in New York, and 19" at BDL, putting it in the top 10 snowstorms on record for both locations. Let's see if we top that this weekend- not impossible.
