Time to text the folks on the bridge to come back down

Not at 100 hours in this pattern. We've been here so many times before it seems. I'll buy everyone a drink if we end up with a low close off LI from this storm in 4 days. I just hope ski country cashes in.

Remember 24 hours ago we were all excited about what was only 3 days ahead.

Well there has been a lot of doomsdayer here today and for no reason really

We totally lost the Xmas storm #1, and #2, we're still 4-5 days away on storm 2. A decent percentage of the models are a toaster bath, the Euro has been all over the place even with storm 1. Until we see a consensus shift in all the models that sticks for a few runs, I'd favor the downside. Don't get me wrong I'm hoping you all get buried up there, I'm rooting for a foot or two in ski country.

G'nite.

It looks like you'd get several inches...maybe 3 or 4" before sleet taints...and eventually rain. Southern suburbs are toast almost from the get-go.

We need one more shift east here to be in really good shape; I'd feel confident if it tracked off the coast of Delaware instead of over Wilmington. That's cutting it a little too close initially although SE of LI is a good sign. I still feel there's a long ways to go on this storm with the inconsistency we're seeing from the models.

I'd take a track over ACK. I'm sure I'd taint, but I'm also sure I'd get a nice thump on the front end too.

12/16/07 dropped 10" here before the switch. Granted, the antecedent airmass was much colder. Woke up to 18F and S+ at 6AM that morning.

2 years of no snow will do it. Something like 335 days at Logan since the last inch? That'll do it too.

Has not been much better here, But you can't use the same analogy that every storm is going to miss, At some point it will come around, At least we have an active pattern, Last year we were tracking zilch as we got hosed by the vortex over AK

Looks like things are progressing as we first speculated they might that the coastal portion of southern New England into the I-95 corridor in NJ etc. are not looking good with this one. Glad to see the interior / mountains getting the goods.

But remember, it is meteorologically impossible for this to go inland so maybe it will shift east! :rolleyes:

Way better vs 12z. I think we get close to the solution tomorrow. Snow to rain for many but some will get lots of snow.

Maybe this is the turnaround in the trend we needed...we just strapped Mark Sanchez to the bench and brought in Brady, gone from our own 4 to the 35. We'll see if we can get into FG range tomorrow or if this was just a tease.

Agreed. I see your argument from a purely mathematical/statistical viewpoint, but unfortunately the subjective/psychological element gets involved with snow too to skew perceptions. But eventually we need one that works in our favor.

There's certainly a wide track this can take...there's a lot of problems with trying to get a pure snowstorm out of this for most of the region...but its certianly not impossible and we can still get a pretty big winter storm even if we taint some.

There's a lot of moving parts to the north...this run had a much better lobe of confluence norht of Maine. This is stuff that is difficult to predict.
