  1. They did okay, NBC made two incorrect tweets which confused everyone. Central Park used to always report at 4 or 430 for the climate report in addition to at 7am, 1pm, 7pm, 12am. I believe starting 2 winters ago they stopped reporting at midnight on some occasions and at 430 on all days for some reason
  2. It shows how even in a new climate for the Atlantic and East Coast that if the Pac is in 1948-1955 mode its pretty much impossible to get big snow events anywhere near the coast here.
  3. Initially I thought they meant 15.3 as if 1pm and that made no sense. This also shows their ratios fell down closer to 10 to 1 as we moved through late morning into afternoon which makes sense as well
  4. Now the Central Park report makes sense...The NWS PNS has the 15.3 as of 4pm...not 1pm...that I can believe
  5. 15.3 seems off to me. They had 5.3 as of 7am...I don't know if that was 5.3 total or 3.3 today and 2.0 yesterday. They had only .55 liquid 12-18Z so unlikely they could get 10 inches out of that, nevermind 8
  6. 5pm climate reports as of 430. EWR 13.0, LGA, 10.7, JFK 10.1, ISP 9.6, NYC does not measure again til 7.
  7. 83 I think had a much better air mass in place, 09 was pretty meh...both events the TSSN corridor was pretty much at the back edge where the 650-850 erly jet speed dropped off. In 83 that was NNJ and NYC, 09 it was SW NJ...today it should have been in the area bounded by ABE/TTN/FWN roughly.
  8. Might need to see 00Z soundings to see how widespread warmth is...I cannot get any aircraft soundings today since there are practically no flights into those 3 airports. No model showed 925 or 850 getting that far west til tonight if at all so its likely random little layers here or there at 750-875 that are 0.1 or 0.2C
  9. Just seems strange that the 12/09 and 2.83 events which had pretty similar setups in regard to that insane easterly inflow had widespread TSSN and this one did not...those were more in the Miller A type category however (not sure 83 was a true Miller A but it was not a B). so might be more involved.
  10. I believe the lack of thundersnow might be the result of milder ocean temps. The east flow in the 600-650 layer probably causing warmer temps, less instability than normal. This is a storm that 20-30 years ago would have almost certainly have had widespread TSSN.
  11. The sleet line made it further inland more west than it did east. Parents house in Merrick LI never went over but places in Brooklyn did
  12. Yeah I don't get the sleet....I said we might see a dry slot today but I felt any sleet risk was tonight once the precip was basically shutoff and 925 or 850s on LI went over 0C...the sleet now may just be rogue warm layers of like 0.2C somewhere
  13. The 12Z Euro if you view 3 hour increments basically has current scenario nailed...showed 15-18z as crazy for the metro...18-21 as bad N NJ and SW then the CCB dies slowly 21-00Z over NNJ SRN NY and E PA...it does hint that Queens/Nassau might continue seeing bands try to redevelop and keep accumulations going but light
  14. .22 at NYC last hour so they’re at least at 15.5. Problem is if they dry slot or go to sleet it’ll compact and they’ll end up with an inaccurate measurement at 7pm. That’s irrelevant in regards to the storm record since they wouldn’t get there anyway if that happens but it could still cause an erroneous storm total
  15. The GFS is getting a better idea but it still keeps trying to pump the SE ridge at times while the CMC and Euro at the same time periods are flatter. It’s really bizarre to see the cold bias model do that but it’s had issues all winter trying to pump that SE ridge at times
  16. Yeah it would take a mega band. Today’s daily total will be top 5-10 for sure too. Storm total was 5.3 as of 7am and daily total 3.3....since then they’ve had .45, .18 last hour alone. I would say they have a storm total of around 10.5-11 now and daily total of 8-9
  17. The NYC ASOS reported .03 in 11 minutes to start the hour. That’s probably a 4 inch per hour rate if you assume we a tad better than 10:1 right now....bad math....3
