Things were looking up yesterday afternoon for the anti-snow types among us. The Tuesday storm updates cautiously predicted rain for coastal areas. By Wednesday afternoon, however, there was a lot more snow expected in the Boston and coastal area, depending on the storm’s path. A few miles east or west, and the numbers will change dramatically. A degree more or less, and the numbers change dramaitacally.
Here’s the National Weather Service’s Wednesday afternoon guidance:
Since some are asking, here are the 4 past snowfall forecasts for SNE going back to Monday PM. Note the adjustments in the highlighted area due to uncertainty in surface temps, which affect accumulation. Confidence is much higher inland! pic.twitter.com/0kVAUf0sud

Remember to check back with me, @sarahwroblewski & @JBrewerBoston25 through the day… 20 miles is the difference between 2" snow and 12" snow-any slight shift could have a BIG impact on snow totals in your town.@boston25 #mawx #nhwx pic.twitter.com/83HP5P7pC2
