Who's dreaming of a white Thanksgiving?

More doom and gloom...

The Eyewall (a useful resource) has a good discussion of the expected storm.

If you ain't sticking it in the bird (or your family demand for it is beyond bird capacity), adding eggs to the mix will keep it moist:

NYT Recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1024770-easy-herb-stuffing

½cup/1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 (1-pound) day-old loaf white bread, cut into ½-inch cubes (about 12 cups); see Tip
2 cups finely chopped celery (5 to 7 ribs)
2 cups finely chopped yellow onion (1 large)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, sage or a combination
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
½ teaspoon black pepper
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
1½ cups homemade or store-bought chicken (or vegetable) broth
2 large eggs

This storm is unlikely to give us much in the way of snow as it would have to thread quite a needle: too far inland and it's rain, too off the coast and it's nothing, and too weak it won't bring in much cold air and it will rain (plus the antecedent air mass isn't that cold). While there have been some model runs a few days ago which threaded this needle, most have either stayed off the coast or plowed inland and that's continued, the European model has the low pressure center tracking from MDT to EWB (Harrisburg to New Bedford) which would put the rain snow line just north of New England's Mason-Dixon Line (the Northern Mass border) while the American and Canadian models have the storm far offshore with just light, cold rain. (In the case of the Canadian, there would be some snow up north; the Euro would be a god-send for ski resorts who would probably have a good weekend in November.) Time will tell, but I doubt the French Toast gnomes will have to use too many colors this week.

Plus climatology for a big storm in Boston in November just isn't in the cards. There have only been two 6"+ storms in Boston since records have been kept, the 9" in the1987 Veterans Day storm (which apparently was a surprise, and dumped a foot of snow on DC) and the only other time was 12" on the 28th in (shuffles papers) 1898.

That said, the real story may be an early-December cold snap not seen in quite some time, with temperatures barely cracking freezing for the first week of the month. There hasn't been an early-December cold snap since 2007; it's one of the faster-warming times of the year. (Late October and November, on the other hand, is one of the slowest-warming.) Having cold air in place and a warm ocean nearby is a good set-up for a snowstorm, although right now the models are showing it cold and dry (the models are in pretty good agreement about this, but it's out in the future).
