gfs looks a little better, the high to the north is modelled at 1033 now, up from 1027, so a little more of a block effect. but can it transfer? better chance this time.

To me, the GFS looks like it took a big step towards the Euro. However, the transfer looks "odd" is the best way to put it. Tracking the secondary from Central Virginia up to Philly seems unusual to me.

Also, don't look now, but it looks like it's going to really crank a big Apps runner around 144 hrs. There could be quite a phased storm on this run for the Dec. 29th system. The only positive thing that I see is that it's still pos. tilted at 120 Hr.

There is a thread for that one

Sorry just a little bit off-topic but pertaining to the model discussion....I've been using the NCEP site for years...just recently maybe the past several month or so, it is VERY slow and takes around 3-5 seconds to open the next page. If I click on GFS, a few seconds to load, click on 12 hours, another few seconds....then back button, the same. Is everyone experiencing this ? And what do you all use to view these models in the best way possible ?

can I ask you who asked the individual who made the comment to say there is a thread for the next event to point that out? There are moderators for that...just zayin

im here to read real information, not horrible model interpretations from people who know nothing...again just saying

The post was in good faith, and has no ill intentions about it. You should be the last person laying down the rules, last I read you thought mods were all power hungry.

I agree about good discussion. I hate when people say 1-3 or no big deal, and NYC ends up with 2 feet. Or when a poster is 5 ppd or has be suspended several times during events, and still allowed to post. You had a great forecast February 2010. Oh by the way, "just saying"

The Dec 30 storm is going to be another thread the needle. We would need the Dec 27 storm to hang around as a 50/50 as much as possible. There's going to be an inverted trough headed towards the lake, if the 50/50 holds we could see redevelopment in the SE off the coast. Miller B ish. Long ways out though.

It looks the same to me . This storm looked so good at one time :(. Onto the 30th storm.

The 0z Euro gave me 3-4" of front-end dump, and potential icing, so I'm not giving up yet. The storm might be over for southern Brooklyn but not for people who have some elevation in the suburbs, who could still be saved by an earlier transfer.

The New Year's period looks interesting with the coastal OTS and then the coldest weather of the season coming in as per Euro/GFS, probably saving this from being a top 3 warm December. NYC has only gotten down to 29F for its minimum this month, and yesterday was the first day that had a high in the 30s all month for KNYC.

wunderground 12z euro clown map still shows it.

It's over

I'm still hoping to pull an inch or two up here from the big system, but even that looks unlikely at this point with the ECM shifting slightly west and the ENS being even warmer. I think NW suburbs could see a front-end dump but we're dealing with a marginal airmass so it's definitely questionable. With lows only getting to the mid-upper 20s Christmas night, we don't have a lot of margin for error.

Beijing, China (at a lower latitude than NYC) has just hit 0F. Central Park hasn't hit 0F in 19 years. We need to get some of that Asian cold onto this side of the hemisphere. The last few years have been very favorable for cold weather in Asia and Europe, but not so much over here. Let's hope the PV shifts back onto our side for January. At least that would give us a chance with the -PNA causing lows to track west.
