This gives me more reason to favor the GFS personally. Always good to get good sampling of active convective areas.

Eh, depends on where in the gulf of Mexico they dropped them, if they dropped them in the right area of the convection if at all and when they dropped them.

Models will wobble back and forth dramatically with such a vigorous southern stream diabatic anomaly and the deep, moist convection that forms it. IMHO, the NAM/CMC/GFS will wobble more given their convective params than the ECMWF (especially the non-hydro 12 km NAM), and under similar events the past few years the ECMWF was most reliable with respect to moist convection and the related synoptic feedback with vigorous southern stream lows.

A USAF RESERVE WINTER STORM RECONNAISSANCE MISSION.

Bingo. We are within a critical timeframe where we might see NAM, GFS, and EURO align on time and location of the phasing. UKMET hinted at an out to sea scenario and other models moved east. I think the trend is a shift east in the Euro that will roll out tonight with lower snow totals but better distribution north and east of LI.

 That is an excellent post and explanation. I now happily am comfortable discounting the GFS and NAM 0z solutions (and I mean hook, line and sinker) even more.

So far, I don't think this night has gone all that bad, minus the euro doing something crazy (pretty sure it won't), like i said before, this is a solid, 3-6/4-8 event for nyc which we can't complain about right now. The only total miss was the ukmet, the nam was a little freaky looking, but the nogaps, gfs, rgem, and canadian are pretty much all showing the totals I just mentioned.  They phase a little late east for us, yes, but it still means a decent snow event for the city itself.  I think areas west and northwest of the city get less, as I said before, but a good event for the city anyway.  Just a guess, I think the euro moves toward the other solutions presented tonight with similar totals.

Lol, just because they dropped 13 dropsondes in the Gulf of Mexico? No one can know where and when they dropped them exactly and if good readings were ingested into the model to prevent convective feedback issues that could lead to incorrect solutions down the road.

gefs looks wetter than 18z for us. mostly frozen too. 0.75-1 for NNJ/NYC east

 

edit: looks like most of NJ is 0.75+. Also just saw 18z gefs and it was wetter than 00z. not by much though, maybe 0.25

um no...not close - here is 18Z, 18z was much wetter

Anyone agree with me that despite the fact of any big storms this winter, this it has still been awesome? especially this week. It basically snowed everyday and kept the dusting fresh. Now we're going to top it off with a nice 4-8+? I can dig it :D

Without question, blows last winter away IMHO from a boredom-excitement standpoint.

Being that it was gone by morning, it was kinda worthless.

That isn't saying much, but yes it certainly does.  I would hardly call this winter "awesome" though, these dustings have been far from exciting and have melted by the next day, and in some cases we were expecting more.

 

 

Agreed, JImmy.
