Syrmax

Yup. Lived there 16 years. Couldn't buy a decent snowstorm other than 95/96...

KGON Blizz criteria looks met...

Looook at this gullywasher steamrolling right over KSYZZLE! LOOK AT IT!! Paging @TugHillMattwhite courtesy phone... I know, I'm such a bad person.

I'm agreeing. These mid winter scenarios often produce a better push from the arctic than earlier in-season. Not sure if it's related to wider snowpack coverage or not. As you stated though, also need the system's dynamics to cooperate.

Already seeing reports of 3' drifts that look more like half that much. This is getting near the part of the storm which really produces the best virtual results.

I was very surprised at the snow totals reported from CC this a.m. on CoCoRAHS. Quite low. But I'm still confident that my 16.5" contest 4cast for HYA won't be too far off. Big upside miss potential.

Fact.

Yeah my friends place in SECT is under that further west band now and it's delivering. About 6" o.g. there so far.

Hmmm D1BPVAhWsAAEY26.mp4

A lot of "Non-living" Band references to our east. Imagine being on a forum that not only condones but celebrates such behavior. ...

Thats what I also thought looking at that ob. Some models kept ALB completely dry.

For Flemish Cap or Hudson Bay?

I am Rangers, Giants but...Mets LOL (and Borussia Dortmund for real football - soccer). I left NYC area initially due to parents ultimately moving to VA (and then BGM), but I stayed in VA for Uni. My moves since then were all job related (USN...hence CT) and since then engineering positions. The $ and job dictates most of it. I was small when i saw my Dad, a senior aerospace engineer laid off in the vicious recession of 1972/73. He was gone on temp contract positions to fill the void (i got to go to school in Frankfurt Germany and Pascagoula MS for 1/2 a year LOL!). So that influenced my mindset. Stay flexible, go where the best job and $ is. Though I must say that when I was offered a position in Oswego...the thought of 100"+ per year had a sway in my decision.

My $0.02 forecast has been for a MECS but not a HECS. That's part of why I didn't chase. Some CSI banded areas will get jacked with 2' but thinking 6-8" NYC and 10-15" most of CT and MA outside of the 495 ring. The wind on CC with snow, actual Blizzard conditions, would possibly be worth the chase.

00Z NAM close to taking away the football on this developing weekend ocean storm. NYC looks like 6" per NAM. My forecast for 4.5" at Norfolk is doomed. I knew it would be half that, just got hurried in the forecast. I might be ok at DCA/IAD/BWR as warm temps have precluded much snow accumulation so far and i have them all around 2-3". NE has to be melting over the 0Z runs.

Awful model. Except when it agrees with me as in this storm of the weekend.

In Feb...and this pattern...yup.

Looks like RN to backend SN for KSYR at this point but still way out there in time. Doesn't really matter anymore here for season saving purposes that war has already been lost. Maybe win a few skirmishes here and there. Will be interesting to see models over next 6 days. At least they won't be fighting complex thermodynamic processes ala the current system, so maybe a smoother ride?

Thanks. Was unsure about the T. Sounds more Sciency than just PV.

Meh. These Meteorologists. What do they know? I'd pay 4 million just to be able to take a piss without it hurting. Signed, Hyman Roth

Its NOWCAST time for you guys! Best of luck. Steal ALL The Snow!

Great summary! Fond memories of watching the Rangers as a kid down around the city before moving to SE VA. My older cousin, was a big Rod Gilbert fangirl, so always watched NYR when visiting with her in her high rise. Another fond memory was listening to "The Big Whistle" Bill Chadwick doing color for games. Can't count the number of times he'd yell "shoot the puck Barry!" Referring to Barry Beck in the playoffs vs LA one season. We got mileage out of that playing street hockey. That and POTVIN SUCKS! LOL. Trading Brad Park and Jean Ratelle to the Bruinstains for net-hanger Phil Esposito and Carol Vadnais still bothers me. Anti-genius move by "the cat" Emile Francis as (much like with Roger Clemens), Park was not exactly in "the sunset" of his career. My last Ranger game in person was for my birthday back in the late 1990s vs the Bruinstains when Gretzky played for them. For that matter i remember when the Indianapolis Racers of the WHA had this young phenom named Gretzky. I knew in 1994 that I'd never see them win the Cup again. Heja Messier!

Ugh. Well, we'll see. I'm always leery of teams grabbing the latest "hot coordinator". High flash-in-the-pan risk. But since we went down the same sort of road with the GM selection...in for a penny, in for a pound I guess.

TPV meaning Polar Vortex?

Exactly why we need that Torch! The people cry out for it!
