East of the 40/70 Benchmark at this time.

00Z MOS for JFK and LaGuardia Airports in NYC. Light snow indicated..

Earlier NWS NYC Forecast Discussion: "This will overall be a minor light snow event. Snowfall totals are expected to be greatest over eastern Long Island, where 1-2 inches are possible. Farther west over northeastern NJ and NYC up to an inch is possible. Snow totals drop off farther north, with the CT coast and southern portions of the Lower Hudson Valley likely seeing less than an inch and far northern locations staying dry. Trends in track will need to be monitored given the nature of the tight gradient in QPF and snowfall. Timing of the event may be the biggest concern. Snow starts in the early morning hours on Monday and will continue through the evening. This could impact the morning commute and potentially the evening commute for eastern Long Island. With temperatures dropping quickly overnight tonight to below freezing, snow is expected to stick right away. Given the uncertainty that surrounds this system, and current light snowfall totals, have decided to hold off on any headlines over our area in collaboration with neighboring offices. Subsequent shifts will have to monitor new guidance and a Winter Weather Advisory may be possible for eastern Long Island.."

I’ve been around a long time. This could be the “surprise” snowstorm or the disappointing one. We are always concerned about warmer air changeover of a potential snowstorm to sleet, rain amongst other things..

NWS NYC did.. The forecast area will be on the northern fringes of the low, there is a large precipitation gradient and a track closer to the coast could lead to more in the way of snow if further model runs show a continued northward jog. At this time, the thinking is for less than an inch for portions of northeast New Jersey, Lower Hudson Valley, southern Connecticut and western Long Island, while 1 to 2 inches is expected across central and easter Long Island and southeastern Connecticut. Northern portions of the Lower Hudson Valley and inland southwestern Connecticut will see little, if any snow. It`s worth noting that a few short range ensemble means bring warning level criteria to southern portions of the forecast area, but did not go that high given aforementioned uncertainty.

NWS Mount Holly this morning… This is a rapidly evolving forecast and users should monitor the forecast closely through the course of today as additional changes, potentially significant, are possible.

Cold is just 1 of the dots to be connected and your modeling the long range.

Congratulations, with 20 years you could retire, but stay around and enjoy the experience.

Yes, including a number of zero cities and trace cities..

NWS Eastern Region @NWSEastern "A look at how far below average the seasonal snowfall totals are running at Eastern US climate locations as of December 26th." 5 more days to make some revisions!

Agree. When it's this far out there is no certainty to the forecast. It's just something to keep an eye on. We know that even short range forecasts are not always certain.

Ya, that's a possible long range snowstorm for folks in Maine.

A light coating of accumulation is expected on area roadways, especially secondaries and untreated roads. Temperatures are also below freezing which could create slick spots where snow may have initially melted. Use extra caution if traveling early this morning as slippery conditions are expected.

Would be nice to see some snow but its six day's away, many more runs, model comparisons and temps in the 40's would make for rain showers.

A house in Vermont for snow lovers!

Better yet, retire and move to Florida and track canes. After a while SNOW gets old.

Let’s go Canada!

NEG NAO Posted 47 minutes ago Until the Euro and GFS ensembles comes on board and we get several runs in a row of consistency confidence will increase IMO Agree!
