Oh in that case yes that is surely within reach. Some folks may get there already from just the Thursday storm!

NYC has 41.5" and needs 75.6" to tie 95-96 for seasonal snowfall. That means the station needs another 34.1" in order to tie the snowiest winter on record. This is extremely unlikely, if not impossible, from one storm, especially considering Central Park's biggest snowfall was the 26" in February 2006.

 

For Westchester, the snowiest winter on record in Dobbs Ferry was 90" in 60-61. We have about 54" so far, so we'd need another 46" to get there. Highly unlikely but possible if we get a bomb. It certainly won't happen in this storm, however.

 

The point being, you need another major storm after this one, assuming a MECS on Thursday, to get to the record snowfall season. And that's assuming we get the 12-18" Thursday and get a pattern that supports another major snowfall.

I love it....main weather thread already going downhill with the discussion of the asian models. "shutup and learn some things!" For once in my life i am sick of the basically wire-to-wire winter we are having with only a couple of brief warmups. Cant wait to see the total meltdown if we get a hiccup suite of models...

Maybe not for NYC or Westchester but other areas possibly. I do tend to agree though that it would take the max possible on Thursday and then another big one before winter ends or perhaps several SECS type storms.

36" to get there in Dobbs Ferry, not 46".

Two comments:

You can actually tell if a storm threat thread has dropped to simply 'very enthusiastic' from 'fever pitch' by seeing if the last post in the thread was > 1 minute ago.

'Thumping' is invariably used in conjunction with the term 'front end' and almost always relating to a snow to rain situation; perhaps it helps the snow loving poster block out the rain part

I'm just sitting here wondering how long they are going to keep that archaic, low resolution crap show of a model page on NCEP.

The Mets in the Philly thread bring you back to reality. I do however find your post very informative, people just need to relax and read a little bit and try using Google once in a while. Good luck.

How much snow does the NAM have for my backyard? Will I change to rain? I heard the GFS has a snowstorm for Bermuda. What's an ensemble? Why doesn't the NAM have ensembles? What's a benchmark? How much for Philly? What tine does it start? Why does the NAM show rain for me and snow for South Carolina?
