Some models are kinda trending to bands of snow getting west as the low spins and rots. Better than zippo.
-
Having the trough start with such a positive tilt isn’t helpful either. Although if anything the ridge axis in the west is getting even further west.
-
The models have hopefully improved since then but given how little has to change we’re all still in the game, admittedly eastern areas more. It’s not like last winter where we saw a few random weenie runs that we all knew deep down were BS because of the raging Pacific pattern that would destroy the setup.
-
We can definitely get 75-100 miles NW out of this system at this lead time. People giving up are crazy. We do want to see consistent positive trends soon but even the most likely outcome now gives eastern LI a few inches.
-
Have to think some system gets us before this cold regime really lets up even if this one doesn’t. Maybe we can get lucky with another clipper.
-
Got down to 11 here. Fri night I think has a chance to get down to 0 (not in the city).
-
I’d want to see a positive trend by tonight 0z to be confident of a major hit here. Good that with even a track SE of the benchmark some snow makes it to the coast/city as it unravels. As others mention this has to occlude later and upper low track further north.
-
Stop using kuchera maps for the love of God.
-
Getting there. It's occluding early still for a huge hit but we're seeing the steps we need.
-
Wow, 6-7 members due S of LI? Wouldn't surprise me if in a couple days we're praising the heavens for the kicker coming at it.
-
Was a very tough storm to forecast when you got into the nitty gritty and with the higher QPF than predicted. I didn’t think anyone in NYC or LI would reach 12” in this type of storm and I was wrong. It’s a humbling hobby.
-
Or Jan-Feb 2011. That snowpack was epic.
-
This is why we don't jump off bridges 120+ hours out with as fragile a setup as this.
-
NWS mets actually analyze the data and don’t flip flop and panic like a bunch of weather board weenies.
-
We don’t need massive changes lol. EPS getting less impressive is a bummer but we really do just need some small changes in the timing of the upper low cutting off/further NE and the kicker being a little slower and spaced apart from our storm. It’s not like last winter where we had a few phantom MECS runs we all wanted to believe but based on the pattern we knew it was bogus.
-
It improved somewhat from 6z. Anyway I wouldn’t write it off especially for coastal areas until Thursday.
-
And oh man do we suffer in this hobby.
-
It’s really just some small tweaks to where the low closes off, kicker, etc and we’re back to an absolute bomb for 95% of us. To be honest if this one really hits the snow will be deeper than even 2010-11 and I have no clue where it’ll go.
-
And considering there’s almost always a northernmost fluff band with these, this might be good on its own for warning snow into NYC.
-
We don’t need much. I wouldn’t be discounting anything until probably Thu night.
-
We can afford baby steps at this lead time.
-
Yep, we might be singing its praises later this week if the coastal storm development gets itself together so we’re not tracking this into NYC. The ridge axis here doesn’t scream way offshore track to me.
-
Seems kinda disjointed with the energy until it’s too late and out to sea. In any case it’s the Icon and not too concerned.
-
Yep, I don’t see this as something that comes storming back and we’re sweating the mix/rain line but we’ll see. There is the kicker right on its heels and the NAO blocking so there’s only so far west it can really trend but 150-200 miles, sure.
-
The ridge axis so far west gives me more hope this won’t slip out to sea. It’s in a place where honestly it’s better for the Apps. If it was say over the Dakotas that would be more of a problem. But a couple of tweaks which are very doable at this stage and we’re back to monster solutions.
