Surface low is 984mb inside the Benchmark SE of LI at 54 hrs. 850 line runs through eastern Suffolk Co

WOW! As my parents say, "Who woulda thunk it?" a couple days ago when most guidance was inland? Central and Northern NJ, as well as southeast New York State stay all snow on the Euro!

hr 60 sub 984 about 50-75 miles west of ack

.25-.5 lewes to dov to ilg to villanova to ewing to fwn

.5-.75 holmdel to nyc to nw ct

.75-1 all of li except nyc area

seems like 1.25" for philly on this on SV maps...??

sorry, see it now.. your doing the 6hr total.. this is through 66 totals.. maybe 1.5.. hard to read .. such a tight gradient within the blues on the map.. AC south and about 20 miles inland 1.75"

Hard to tell how much is frozen with these qpf totals

if the mm5 Euro is correct, people in the NYC metro area will not be very prepared for whats going to happen.Snowman.gif

In all seriousness, this is setting up a whole host of possibilities > roofs immediately to flooding in the coming weeks. Snow pack here in N Fairfield county is bordering on ridiculous.

Notice how the MM5 elongates the pressure field to the NE. That keeps sfc winds from the NNE over NJ/NYC/LI.

The elongation to the NE has been a critical feature in holding in the cold air in past KU storms that didn't have much of a high to the north.

Wow, and in the most encouraging image of the night..the MM5 is just pounding away. This is incredible.

This is a very impressive fun for DC-NYC area, and if this were to occur, what makes it even more impressive is the fact we have little blocking on Greenland..

The kicker to the west and the progressive La Nina pattern makes it all happen...this would go inland during an El Nino or probably even a neutral ENSO setup...also if it occurred a day or two earlier or later since earlier the high would have caused a SE gradient and later the "kicker" may have phased with it and pulled it inland.

Here's my latest thoughts on this one, for those interested. Not making snowfall calls until this afternoon at the earliest, probably tonight. I would hate to be forced to make storm total predictions at this point, which at many stations is exactly what meteorologists are FORCED to do. Completely disagree with that.

Have a great night! Spending the day with the girlfriend before a couple days of paying more attention to the weather tongue.gif

Based off this post, seems like everything is just timing up perfectly.

the delicacy of these set-ups makes it kind of eery that things have been playing out how they have
