NYC Area January 26-27 Bomb Discussion and OBS

Cool. Nothing we can do about it anyway, but 40"+ by Feb 1st is just incredible for this area, any year. What we're getting is about what an average ORH winter is like.

What's really going to suck is when one winter the pattern goes back to the late 1990s for a few years or so. Overall though, given solar activity and the global indices going back to what was a much colder global state, we should be in for more fun.

i was really hoping that Central Park would break the 1947-48 record for snow thru jan 31.

You didn't get anything from that storm? I got 2 inches from that storm.

I had about that too but it blew away almost immediately and it was hard to tell there was any snow a couple of days later. It was frustrating as anything having this insane mesoband park itself not even a stone's throw off the beach and Monmouth report widespread 10-15". 2/10 was better but sleet cut down on the initial precip, so the heaviest ended up again near Philly.

If it makes anyone feel better, KLEB was getting 1-2 feet from the Euro for about 6 or so runs this weekend... We'll end up with a big 0 probably...

Again though, with the exception of the NAM, is there any model with less than .7 liquid precip for NYC?

Not really but the combined fact that people east of NYC are assuming some mixing and the usual overdone QPF by the models, .4 of snow is a SCARY THOUGHT!:rolleyes:

uuugggh 2/5/10 was a catastrophe (especially because the GEFS at 18Z on friday had the 1.5QPF over us), the only thing worse than boston getting more snow than us is DC getting a storm and our area gets nada

Top 3 most depressing weather events of my life... the only ameliorating factor was shacking up with a girl in Bk heights so I really wasn't that upset when I woke to a dusting ; )

Plus, I had friends in town from PSU so I was all excited to tromp around NYC in the snow and then we wound up walking across the Bk bridge with cloudy skies, 21 degree temps, strong N winds, and about 1 flake/cubic mile... when I came home that day to see PHL come in with 27", it was pure nausea ... that disappointment is one of the most significant events of last winter - the only reason it isn't more significant is because of the 2 major Feb storms that followed.

2/6/2010- Now that was a dissapointment, beyond every measure. 0" in Upper Manhattan, and a dusting in Lower Manhattan, just horrible. At least Feb. redeemed itself big time.

We are now looking at eclipsing at possibly 44" by Thursday, with another clipper dropping an inch to three, 47-48" seems like a possibility before January is over.

SUNY model still stuck at Hour 12...I've noticed this happens quit a bit the day before potential winter storms...in the summer, when no one cares, it is usually out to Hour 60 by 11:30 PM...

:lmao:

It's funny because I notice the same thing with the SPC WRF and sometimes the NAM. Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me..

just to add icing on the cake, euro has a lakes cutter later in the run..:devilsmiley:

:lmao:

it'll be ots the way things are going this season. Seriously ,the ggem and gfs are worlds apart from the euro with next weeks storm. This weekends clipper should re-whiten things.

I hope we don't get the lakes cutter depicted on the ECM. GFS/GGEM look much more promising for next week.

I have 41.5" on the season, need 8.5" to get to the magic 50" marker. I think we'll get it with this Miller A Nor'easter but it's not a lock by any means...
