The 18z GFS is predicting Montpelier, Vermont (the capital of Vermont) to receive
4 FEET OF SNOW on January 10th. This comes as a disturbance is forecast to move around just offshore the Northeast Coast. If this were to turn out, it would, no exaggeration here, collapse roofs. Home would be flattened. 4 feet of snow is about as tall as a 9 year old boy. Luckily, this is the long range GFS, which we all know is not reliable in the least.
Something to look out for: If the January 4th snowstorm happens, this storm would be worth watching, because at both time periods the NAO is forecasted to drop. Not into negative territory, but still a drop. Storms can happen during a fluctuation in the NAO, even a drop like what is possible during the 2 storms.

Hello Andrew.I just saw this also.This quite indeed looks impressive.Who knows,maybe it will happen.
Hi Andrew.I'm going to check the next run on this model.I think it updates every 6 hours or so.It will be interesting how different it will look compared to now.
I believe the 0z GFS will start updating around 9:00 PM CST or so.
Hi Andrew.I'm trying to view the GFS at the weatherunderground site,and the map appears with no image.What could be causing this?
It looks like the 0z GFS hasn't started.
I suggest to use instantweathermaps.com for the fastest GFS maps.
Hey Andrew, this is Reid. I was viewing the GFS and the ECMWF models and it seems like there are 2 different storms being indicated. 1 around the 4th of january and 1 around the 9th or 10th. Only time will tell I guess. Update me too please!
I'm looking at the Weather Underground site models btw
Hi Andrew.I went to instant weathermaps.com,and it says the page is broken.
Reid: You are correct. This is the second storm. The first one was issued earlier in the day.
