Big day watching the radar trends today. I'm not feeling so hot for my area on north. I was never expecting much, but this looks like a much better event just to my south and southwest. We'll see how things develop today..maybe this band will be further north, but more of a nowcast thing now. As was said yesterday, we'll have surprises in SNE for the good and bad.

If it were winter, I think people would be more frustrated. At this point, meh.

Lol exactly what I'm thinking.. enjoy the snow that's gonna melt within 24 hours lol.. what really is the point of snow now, except For delaying golf season

A major nor'easter would be fun, I think we all agree.

This event will underwhelm, which is probably good thing since many of us are missing it and most areas getting snow aren't in a great area to accumulate snow in late march.

This statement is proven false by what happened across all of the nyc metro, coastal jersey, accumulated easy early this morning.

Flakes have improved dramatically, large dendrites now, I hope we get half a foot just because of douche bag statements like the one you just made and are famous for!!:thumbsup:

goodmorning!

Light snow (flakes are horrible)

Radar looks absolutely pathetic, what a horrible job the GFS did, no suprise. This event looks like a coating of slush, maybe, thank God, no work interruptions!!!

The GFS actually did decent with this. It had the signal.

Wow, 4-5 inches across northern nj, almost 8 in scranton!!!!

There was a widespread 6"+ in many areas of northern NJ this morning. Some of the highest elevations in a heavy band received 8-10". We have 4" on the ground here in Hackettstown, NJ at around 500'

We even picked up 1.5" in Monmouth County this morning, 5-10 miles inland due south of NYC

What are you thinking for amounts?

My gut feeling is that the we shouldn't read too much into the Euro. 3z SREF actually bumped north a bit with the 0.50 and 0.25" lines over E MA and S NH compared to 15z yesterday. Still think there is a sharp cutoff between say OWD and NE MA with BOS right near the cutoff.

However, S NH through interior NE MA and the ORH hills may make up for lost time on Thu afternoon and night with inverted trough snowfall (assuming the BL temps aren't an issue since it should be mostly light snow). All the high-res models (RGEM, MM5, NAM) show a narrow N-S oriented snow band associated with the inverted trough.

You still going with 4-7..lolli's to 10 in hills?

That's my gut too. The SREFS were intriguing which was nice to see, but I definitely could see a sharp cutoff in this band. There still appears to be some decent mid level dynamics near the Pike which may help areas near that sharp cutoff. The inv trough definitely has been evident on the hi-res models.

How much you thinking we'll see down here? I like 4-7 pike south

Hey Blizz... sorry just saw this... I think at 1,000ft you should have no problem getting 4"+. I'd be a bit skeptical if I was down in Hartford or the CT Valley... but even there, it looks like the bulk of the QPF comes this evening after the sun goes down.

It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of areas waste (I hate using that term) some light QPF today in bands of -SN... start claiming bust... then it starts coming down steadily and more widespread later this evening and everyone south of the Pike picks up a nice 3-6" overnight. I'm still wary north of the pike. We are running quite cold up here so far today... confluence is strong.

My guess for Tolland at 1,000ft would be 5.8"

Tough forecast down that way, esp near NYC.

You do realize most if not all of the models show the bigger part of this storm tonight from the coastal and 850 low? The "event" hasn't started for many and the GFS did have that band in Jersey/PA.
