The 700mb low looks to be in a pretty bad spot at 30 hours and 33 hours, but it's in a GREAT spot for NJ and anyone west of the city at 36 hours. Crushing deform bands at this point.

just said same thing. If NAM is wrong about that and its further east to start, game on right away.

Big improvement on the weenie snow maps from 6z to 12z:

12z has 8:-10" for NYC

While 6z had 2-3"

NW Nassau gets almost 6 inches while SE Nassau gets nothing. I find it hard to believe that it will not switch over down there as well and when it does, if it does as depicted, they will accumulate just fine.

Something also to note, is that the storm has a much stronger westward tilt with height at our latitudes than it does further north. That is indicative of a rapidly maturing storm, and one that would give siiiick deform at our latitudes. Further north, it's still potent, but it becomes closer to being vertically stacked.

It looks like the snow makes it to the coast between 21z-0z.

We're lucky we have 30-40 miles of land to our north and east, lol. I'm thinking we can still salvage a few hours of fun at the end on the backlash. I just hope we don't spend much of the day in a hole between bands like the NAM seems to be thinking. I can totally buy the megaband developing in northern and eastern NJ, there's almost always a band there in these kind of storms.

If that 700 low was better aligned with the surface reflection it would be snow from the get go. It takes a while for the 700 low to compact. When it does, wow, its historic for everyone.

Well at this point, we know it's going to be further west than the surface low, since strengthening storms have a westward tilt with height. In the earlier stages, this thing is really maturing...

Those maps are terrible.

As far as maps that give you an immediate idea of what's happening---this one seems to be most realistic. The snow depth algorithm accounts for sfc temp/etc.

All snow maps are terrible.

All I was trying to show is that the same snow maps from Raleigh showed a big improvement for the city.

Basically if youre 20 miles outside the city the NAM still crushes you

I am 19 miles north of the GW bridge.. :whistle:

Edit: BTW, Upton responded to my plea about splitting Rockland into two zones. They said they did this in other counties for the same reasons I specified. They will make sure the suggestion goes to the right people.. :thumbsup::violin:
