just for a party!

Yea my moms best friends son. Lol

Want my flight to be cancelled so bad!! I cannot miss the biggest storm in 2 years! I live in central LI which is currently projected to have about 2 in more than NYC because of qpf as the low develops. Also a very strong possibility of a heavy band of snow across western Suffolk, where I am

interesting... the 4km NAM and EC models, both superior handling of convection, but the 0z outcomes are pretty different

 

the 0z 4km Nam runs this thing much deeper and closer to coast, would raise more taint issues than we're currently thinking:

They are quite different, and to a degree, you can not expect a perfect simulation from any model at this time frame given the sensitivity, but they are actually not far off in how they develop the southern stream low.

I am taking American and have talked to a person who works as a dispatcher. He said airlines have pre planned cancellations for a situation like this. I hope it gets cancelled, I want the snow! Going with my family to Cali for only a day and a half for a party. Some future radars showed light snow in the area by that time.

 

i believe most carriers have already announced they're waiving rebooking fees (not sure though if there's a time criteria) so you should call American soon...

If the Euro verifies, do you think NYC will get a Blizzard warning - I'm not sure winds will be that strong  (I could Nassau, and Suffolk being under one)

- We have however seen countless storms where a blizzard warning was issued without the minimum wind conditions.

Ultimately I don't think so, but the 21z SREFs were damn close to criteria.

HA...be careful though, they could just rebook you an hour or two later, no guarantee if they cancel it they'll push you to the next day, especially since flight loads are somewhat light this week because the vacations are not for another week or two so there will be empty seats probably on other flights for them to move people on if they cut some others.

Sorry for the imby post, on mobile and driving to moms house in Belmar nj Friday after work from Lancaster. Is there a particular "safe" hour to pretty much be where ya have to get to (accordin to this models run?) I know sometimes coastal Monmouth does quite well in situations like this especially with a defo stubborn band.

LI'm on Weatherunderground. Where do I go to view the maps?

http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?zoom=4&rad=0&wxsn=0&svr=0&cams=0&sat=0&riv=0&mm=1&mm.mdl=GFS&mm.type=SURPRE&mm.hour=0&mm.opa=100&mm.clk=0&hur=0&fire=0&tor=0&ndfd=0&pix=0&dir=0&ads=0&tfk=0&fodors=0&ski=0&ls=0&rad2=0

 

Then go down to model data, click the settings icon, and change model run to ecmf, and map type to snowfall

 

This is 3 hour snowfall, not sure how to get total snowfall

Honestly, I have not been looking as closely as I had during Boxing Day. I have been pretty busy up here in AK with our own crazy weather and have mostly been glancing at times the last 24 hours for this storm. IMO though, this storm has all the classic challenges Miller A type events usually have...and that is the formation and development of that southern anomaly. I strongly favor the ECMWF solutions mainly due to superior handling of convection (it is definitely "down-tuned compared to the GFS...likely due to its higher resolution) as well as its past performance in similar situations. The NAM and GFS seem very odd developing what looks to be substantial frontal convection...which then races northeastward and forces/forms the low in that direction. It seems especially odd considering no models are forming a well developed/elongated warm front...which would tend to result in moist convection forming along the nose of the LLJ then propagate eastward along the front. The reason I mentioned the 4 km NAM is mainly because it is not running convective parameterizations, and it will "potentially" have a better handle on how the diabatic anomaly forms as thunderstorms/convection blossom. 

 

Thanks for taking the time. As always, you make some very interesting points.
