Thoughts on NOAA's latest map? Looks like big decrease inside of 495?

Updated snow forecast seems to be 2-4 inches with a lesser volume most likely. But if I see that tick up to 4+ inches that's clear blower weather and I'm getting greasy.

He's on wgbh 89.7FM and has a daily weather podcast in the mornings, Weather Wisdom, that's a great short listen

Sure, if you enjoy a rain-snow mix in 40mph winds.

This should be top priority. Then the Silver line tunnel can be converted to be part of the Green Line with a connecting tunnel from Boylston.

My favorite Epstein moment was when they tossed to him for the forecast and he read an earthquake story. He finished with something like, "I don't understand why they give the meteorologist the earthquake story." It bothered him so much that they didn't understand he was an expert in crust up, not crust down.

You spend a long time in meteorology school talking about communicating uncertainty

I have been following him since Snowmageddon and I have to say that in all of those years since he very rarely repeats his tidbits of interesting information throughout the year on his Twitter feed. Quality.

Epstein is great. He also is not into the whole “let’s name storms” thing that I loathe (always felt like unnecessary hype/marketing). And like OP’s graphic, he gives you the information on the variables. He also loves his alma mater, Colby College haha.
