Why

 

Let me make sure I'm understanding your question: I'd like for one of the more consistent models this winter to show a fraction of the total QPF that would likely translate to warning criteria (since it currently barely shows much at all) in order to line up with those members of guidance suggesting more amplified solutions for a region where you just suggested we're looking at 8"-12" across the board, and you're not sure as to why? Do I have that right?

What a frigid airmass this will be preceding this potential.  Below zero to single digits the night before and highs in the teens and twenty's the day of.  850's look do be -10 to -15C.

 

Very similar to Jan 2005.

 

The biggest key is getting it to phase a bit with the energy up by Hudson Bay if we are aiming for a bomb here, otherwise its going to be more like a SWFE or quicker redeveloper....something like the GGEM and other earlier runs of the Euro.

long time lurker-NNE poster with a desperate mby question.  niece is getting married saturday night in northern NJ.  Sister is freakin with family flying in friday.  What is the best guess on timing for nyc metro? 

TIA (I keep quiet in here because my weather knowledge pales in comparison).

 

I don't know why your sister is freaking with family, or why you've chosen to tell us this, but I'm thinking that the morning part of Friday would be preferable to the evening.

Gfs has been a consistent model this winter? Seriously?

I'm sorry, what was I thinking in stating my opinion.

 

Please, allow my to excuse myself and proceed to regale me with your objective and never idiotic "analysis."

I take it you didn't sleep well last night...

I actually agree the GFS has been pretty decent this winter. Its had its troubles like any guidance does, but definitely better than the usual beating it takes from the Euro.

In some respects yes.  That airmass was a bit colder at the surface.  I was like -10F the morning before.  Crazy.  I like where this stands with the models right now.  That northern s/w. imo, is acting like a block(confluence) preventing this thing from running up to Toronto.  I think the GFS is a bit too suppressed right now.  Cold bias coming into play.  Who knows, maybe we get a Euro solution but right now I'd play it middle of t he road.

I hope we can salvage something up here, but storms that give the M.A. to SNE good snow are usually fringes here. I like this location on balance, but I have to root for changeovers to rain from NYC to BOS now.

 

So let me get this straight.   I leave the cursed land of the Mid Atlantic....come north to the usual promised land, and DC will get their first significant snow of the season and I'll be bone dry.

Seems about right.   :axe:
