  1. This isn’t a late season storm. We have a long history of getting big snows in mid February. We have about another month. After March 10th it’s pretty much over for I95 unless we end up with a very anomalous pattern. Given recent model trends and a significant shift southwards, closed 700mb low South of LI favors a band of heavy snow tomorrow for a few hours near I-80/287. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a few 12”+ reports especially in the higher elevation areas of NW NJ into Orange County, NY. I like 4-8” for the Bronx and Southern Westchester. 6-12” North of HPN. 3-6” for Central Park and 2-4” for South facing Brooklyn and Queens. There will be a Southerly flow to start which will cause mixing issues and the 700mb low close proximity could cause dry slotting in Central NJ and South shore of LI. Could be one of those storms where SI sees 3-5” and Sandy Hook gets nothing.
  2. If you believe the GEFS, the above normal temps rebuild for the beginning of February. If you consider that normal for NYC around then is about 40 degrees we could be easily in the 60's if it verifies.
  3. We're only about a month away from the sun angle becoming an issue. Really is remarkable how short the big snow season is around here. Most of December is pretty much lost and then you get that period between Christmas and say Presidents Day that I refer to as the meat of the snow season and then it's over, especially for the coast. Doesn't mean we can't have a snowy March. If I recall March 2017 was very snowy but I'm fairly certain that was a La Nina.
  4. Nothing but white rain here all day. Not going to stick to pavement especially with all of the salt still present from Monday. Hard to believe that this pattern didn't deliver a big one after all of those cutters but it is what it is. GFS has above average temps through at least the first week of February from here on out.
  5. The ARW models actually bring the 2" line North of 287 with a 10:1 ratio. I guess if that verified 2-4" could be realized.
  6. All of the confluence and dry air pressing down from the North. It's actually helping to squeeze out more precip South of where that sets up. There will be a very sharp cutoff somewhere, my guess right now is around 195 in NJ.
  7. I think this one is about done, especially for anyone North of Rt 80. Areas near I-78 and points South look good. Maybe Southern Brooklyn, SI, and parts of Queens will do decently.
  8. The GFS has trended more amplified over the past four runs while the NAM has trended flatter and is actually much flatter at 12z Friday as compared to the 12z GFS. Cannot remember the last time the NAM was flatter than the GFS 24 hours before a storm. Probably a red flag that the GFS is too wet.
  9. If you follow the last four runs of the NAM it shows the snow trending North and East with each consecutive run. That's pretty typical of inverted troughs. You never want to be in the bullseye more than 24 hours out.
  10. Not sure I agree with this. Inverted troughs usually end up trending further Northeast as the event comes closer. My guess is Eastern Long Island and Southeast New England for the win.
  11. Best chances for big storms are on the leading edge of cold, like early next week and then as it departs next weekend. After that get out the shorts and BBQ’s.
