still 114-120 hours left on it. keep that in mind when/if the 18z goes out to sea, or shows a blizzard that would leave us without power for months.

I think it's important to note that the 00s so far have featured a proclivity towards major December snowstorms. Unlike the period from the 70s-90s, we've had very many major snow events in December this decade--12/30/00, 12/5/02 (to a lesser degree, though), 12/25/02, 12/5/03, 12/9/05, 12/19/09... there's definitely been an increased tendency towards major December Nor'Easters.

Probably shouldn't go as far as saying thread the needle. But given that we don't have a nice amplified western ridge, we need excellent timing on a phase betweens the jet streams. It's a very delicate situation and far from a classic pattern for a snowstorm for us. I hope we get lucky.

Have you seen the SERF? Very nice downstream ridge behind the trough.

Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! 100+ hours out and a direct hit! (well, back where I am I could get shafted, but regardless, damn close) Lets hope this is a hit - waffle - hit situation on the models, or we will need some miraculous consistency over the next few days.

i know this is still too early, but if it does pan out, will there be issues with regard to temps for us here in Long Island??:)

how accurate are the 10m maps anyway??:)

the track will determine everything. This storm can "pan out" in a number of ways and its thus impossible to say anything other than that the favored areas away from the immediate coast will PROBABLY not have a problem, the areas on the immediate coast still have to wait and see the ultimate placement of the low if there is even going to be a storm for us.

NWS state college :

INCREASING CONCERN FOR A COASTAL STORM NEXT SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...

GIVEN TENDENCY FOR MODELS TO FCST LOWS TOO FAR EAST THIS THE LAST

FEW SEASONS. ALSO UPPER LEVEL HEIGHT FIELD WOULD SUPPORT A LOW

ABOUT 100 TO 200 MILES FURTHER WEST THAN MODELS SHOW. FOR NOW...

DID UP POPS TO 20 PERCENT EAST OF MTS FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

SITUATION SIMILAR TO LAST DECEMBER 19TH STORM. -- End Changed Discussion --

FROM NWS STATE COLLEGE
