I just got a new computer, but I can't figure out yet how to do maps on it, so for now I'm just going to list what they show. I haven't figured out how to paste pictures here either, so for now no graphics either. I am going to write exactly what each model portrays, starting with the order that accuweatherpro has it. Enjoy!

Now the models are crazy. All over the place. One shows 3 feet, the next shows no snow... So i tried my best to make up my own forecast. A consensus forecast. Enjoy!
My forecast:
Caribou- 1-3 inches. Snow Showers. Windy.
Bangor- 4-6 inches. Heavy Snow. Very Windy.
Portland- 4-6 inches. Heavy Snow. Very Windy.
Boston- 7-11 inches. Heavy Snow. Very Windy.
Cape cod- 10-14 inches. Blizzard. Very Windy.
Hartford- 4-6 inches. Heavy Snow. Very Windy.
NYC- 4-6 inches. Heavy Snow. Very Windy.
Philadelphia- 2-4 inches. Moderate Snow. Windy.
Washington- 1-2 inches. Snow Showers. Windy.
I'm interested to see which model comes the closest to being correct and how my forecast does. The models were so "everything" that really my forecast is all the models snow totals averaged together, to find my totals, so my forecast could easily be off by a lot, but it may be the most accurate. I DONT KNOW! I'm just so confused. And It's weird how off they are from each other when the storm is 2-3 days away. I'm not sure whether to say get excited or wait for another one. Looking at the long ranger, it seems we're going to have a warm up period around New Years, and then back to cold, but dry. Not many storms are in the near future other than this one, and the warm aired one which looks to be rain. I hope you all have a happy and safe christmas! Get ready for whatever is coming...
