Not for nothing but most models give the immediate NYC area a good amount of rain. Relying on backlash snow will get you burned 9 times out of 10.

backlash snow is different than relying on the ccb to produce. Everyone on here knows from getting burned that backlash snows rarely produce. Starting out as rain and getting dynamically cooled in the CCB is a whole other story. And that is what is going on here. I'm pretty sure  most rational posters understand that if NYC metro doesn't get into the ccb its OVER. Slop at best.

This thread this afternoon--->>>> :weenie:

 

This is not a NYC storm. There is a huge bust potential here. I say just be happy for the Boston crowd. Throwing out any model at this point is just uncalled for.

well you must be throwing out several models to say this is nota nyc storm with such definitiveness.  honestly, that is a weenie comment just as much as some others.

People like you come in here and say "throw away this model and that model" and then complain when their snow does not unfold. People hate to face reality in here oftentimes.

 

From Typhoon Tip in the NE subforum:

 

 

"I would stick to the 12z guidance if you are NAM'ing    ... pending some notification from the model diagnostic room at NCEP.  this run has a continuity problem with the southern stream component."

It has be horrible this year and outside 48 hrs its useless. That's why...

 

 

then why do people point to it when its showing it juicy qpf

 

I am not saying its right but the Euro even showed a weaker southern stream, so perhaps the NAM is following that trend. Does not seem like the other models are really in agreement necessarily on what is happening. Lets see what the GFS says

there are mets that post in here all the time who are very rational, often correct and sound a whole lot different than you do. The majority in here realize how high the bust potential is with this. Some snow yes but it is likely all or nothing. You'd be hardpressed to find someone that totally disagrees with this.

Will you guys stop it shows the same thing at 18z that it did at 12z for NYC  . It focuses on the Northern Branch too long . It`s wrong , Its junk and go with the Euro which has been a dam Chinese wall on this , It hasn`t waivered in 4 days , X the Nam , it will see the storm at 12z   .Thats how bad this model is ..

It loses the storm in New England on this run  . How many times do  the same models have to burn you .If the Euro and its Ensembles lose the storm  wake me .

 

You wana see the opposite . post the Euro control run , its equally bad as it overphased . Use the mid ground guidance .

A few things for all you weenies to remember

 

1: This is not a NYC special. HOWEVER, that does not mean no snow for NYC. The fact is, the models are near as makes no difference fully locked on the solution that brings the most snow to New England. NYC still stands a shot at a moderate, possibly warning-criteria snowfall event, but this will have to depend on a strong CCB development in a short window of time as the two streams phase on friday afternoon

 

2: the NAM is still in a very iffy forecast area of 48-60 hours out from the actual event. It still has room to change its solution

 

3: Please do not throw the NAM out. It's actually being pretty consistent in its solution, which means it bears watching. It's highly likely that the very northward placement of the 850hPa low will inject a lot of dry air into the midlevels, which will choke off any moisture before the coastal blows up.

 

4: Keep calm, and wait for the GFS
