  1. that equals Blizzard conditions inland especially even NYC and metro and also eventual mixing issues central / south Jersey right along the coast especially and eastern LI
  2. as I mentioned last night NJ coast and eastern LI mixing issues if too strong and close to the coast - similar to Jan '96 - but of course lower snow totals here for the most part than '96
  3. I wouldn't forecast snow likely on Thursday 6 days out because there is a possibility there could be a timing change - especially if it is a 2 part storm as Walt has suggested ......I would just leave it at a 40 or 50% chance for now
  4. it says the 18Z and 6Z are less skillful so thats why many METS discount them.........
  5. other METS say that is a common error the GFS makes - you don't agree ? Also what is your opinion about Upton and Mt. Holly forecasting "snow likely" for Thursday ?- so far out........
  6. 6 days in advance ? lots can go wrong why do you think Walt is playing it conservative ? Also Mt. Holly shows likely so they probably had a conference call with Upton
  7. How often do you see the words "Snow Likely" in a forecast 6 days in advance ? ZFP from KOKX
  8. wouldn't that lessen the impact and open the door to mixing changeover issues in parts of the region? the December 5-6 , 2003 storm was 2 parts so could it be similar to this ? Snow and ice storm, December 5-6, 2003 - Storm Summary
  9. I would favor the CMC as of right now because the GFS OP was a complete miss too drastic a change in a few hours and its the worst performing model of the bunch - see if the GEFS agrees
  10. what is causing the lower amounts on the individual members ? Too far east ? Mixing ?
  11. if this gets too close to the coast and deepens there will be the possibility of mixing issues along Jersey coast and eastern LI - happened during the Jan 96 Blizzard I remember when I lived in Northern Ocean County NJ......probably in other stronger events also......
  12. just review some of the threads from the big storms here such as Boxing Day 2010 and the Jan 23rd 2016 storm and so on and see how close we were to figuring it out along with the guidance a week away...we weren't close to a final solution that far out
  13. seems like most guidance is suggesting the surface LP will make it to this LAT and the only question is how close to the coast will it be which will be determined by a number of factors but a negatively tilted trough would help .........
  14. IMO should be considering the 250mb jet stream which on last nights GFS was just north and over us which means there is room for the surface LP to move north - also shouldn't be taking these OP runs surface LP locations at face value right now.......
  15. I like the fact that the GFS has not been showing a 2 feet Blizzard here yet - should be following the ensembles now
  16. 0Z Euro is a region wide MECS for the 20th system Models: ECMWF — Pivotal Weather
  17. rather not see a direct hit here on the models a week out that almost guarantees a miss here
  18. the warmth Sunday is no big deal as it will last only hours not days - back to the ice box starting Sunday night through next week........
