Feb 18-19 long duration manageable snow and ice event
NJwx85 replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Subtle changes on the 18z NAM vs the 12z NAM. The warm air comes in a bit faster but it's also very close with 700mb temps maxing out at perhaps +1C. That could probably be overcome by heavier precipiptation. -

Soundings still show places like EWR going above freezing around 700mb by 20z. -

24-36" here and not a single flake. So yeah, ten times worse. -

January 2015 was worse. -

96 was all about that high. The actual surface storm was nothing special. You had a very nice 522DM ULL close off over the TN Valley and spawn a surface low that crawled up the coast. I don't believe it deepened anymore than the low 990's. Many, many hours of overrunning followed by the crawling coastal and that's how you get 30" plus over thousands of square miles. -

Yes, another recent example was January 2015. -

Miller A's are feast or famon. It's great if you end up under the death band and horrible if you're 10 miles East. -

4-6" Thursday morning into early evening, then a bit of a lull and then another 2-4" overnight Thursday into early Friday. Should be most people to the 6-10" range. Certainly nothing to complain about. And then we finally break out of this horrendous pattern (Yes I am sick of this crap already) and we look forward to 50's next weekend as we close out the month. Spring is a month away. -

Ouch, if this is correct the city will start off as some light snow and then quickly change over to sleet. -

WAA snows remind me of the November system from a few years ago that caught everyone off guard. -

Still think most here will get 4-8" with 10" locally. Not that it really matters here. My snowpack is still over a foot deep in most places. Even with hitting 54 here today it didn't do much. I think I have a glacier in my yard. -

It's relying on another shortwave rounding the base of the trough and creating another storm. It's possible but I certainly wouldn't bet on that happening without better model agreement. -

This storm has in and out in about 8 hours written all over it. No blocking, strong mid-level jet and retreating high. -

The 12z GFS was similar to the 12z NAM with regards to the WAA precip for Thursday, although not quite as far NW. It was however West of the 06z run and significantly faster and stronger. -

4-8" for most, up to 12" locally. It should come in relatively heavy on Thursday during the day but the high is retreating and warm air will be moving in aloft so I would bet on a changeover South of I-84. Then it looks like we could get some back end snow on Friday but that looks to be very light. -

It's also the last model anyone should be looking at right now. -

I don't know how people are making such definitive statements about anything at this stage of the game. Right now I would say 12"+ is just as likely as nothing. -

If the 12z NAM is correct the WAA snow is going to come in like a wall on Thursday afternoon. -

Nobody is getting 40" out of this. -

Because the NWS doesn't use clown maps for forecasting snow amounts. -

We're in a pretty good spot with this one although we are likely going to taint during the height South of 84. Still looks like a solid 4-8" for most with 10-12" locally. -
