I like the idea of this thread, we use to have these back when NYC/PHL were merged. However we use to have one thread for each individual model.. so for example there would be one thread for the 00z GFS, another for the 00z Euro etc.

 

My main question here is if this isn't just a play by play thread, but rather a model discussion thread, then what would the main purpose of the discussion thread we have been using?

 

If I got this right,  we would have one thread to discuss model runs, one to discuss storm impacts/trends,and then one for banter? If that's going to be enforced, you are going to need a heavy moderator presence.

Not sure if people realize that the cold that is forecasted to come sat AM and again next Tues would be close to 150 year old record cold for NYC .

The GFS and Euro take temps down to close to 10 below on Sat and lower with the second shot .

The lowest temp ever recorded in CPK is minus 17 - if you  rooted on 70 , you are so close you should want to witness

this if for nothing else but to see history made

 

Sorry boys wrong thread

-17° occurred in the New York City vicinity during the 18th century. The lowest figure since regular recordkeeping began is -15° on 2/9/1934.

in 1859 , they talked about the Hudson freezing and pp walking to Hoboken from NYC , will not happen now , prob  too deep

and I think it was cold that entire month to have done that .

The Nam should not be used outside of 48 hrs, and preferably within 36 hrs. We'll likely see radical changes soon with the Nam. 

lol the NAM has been a comical model over that few years in all time frames with big storms like this. But it bothers me that it is more progressive than the other models right now.

My quick thoughts on the NAM:

 

1. Any changes, both at 500 mb and the surface were marginal.

2. Rather than focusing on that model's details in the extended range, I'm far more interested in the changes that took place. They were very small and, if this continues in subsequent runs, that might be a hint that the guidance will begin to stabilize (as should be the case as the event draws closer).

3. The evolution on the 18z GFS could provide a further hint as to whether things are moving toward a point where the models will eventually lock in on a solution.

 

Overall, I still don't have changes from my thinking that the NYC area will more likely see a light or moderate accumulation of snow than little or no snow. Odds of a larger snowfall have increased somewhat, but from this far out, I want to see more than the operational ECMWF backing that outcome.
