The Local News And NYC School System is underestimating the ice threat! Kids have school! Parents will be driving, people will slip and cars will crash! This is serious and I personally would tell everyone to stay home! I hate our mayor and local news

 

I agree, but the problem is that NYC rarely gets ice storms. 

 

However, since the ice and snow are during the rush hour, things could get very dicey and potentially dangerous if enough accumulates.

Looks too warm already at 0z. It's 30 in Belmar and 33 at Atlantic City right now. Down there they will be close to the surface low so I doubt any ice problems extend that far but they could up further north, maybe even Monmouth County for a time.

Its 27.5 here now , running in line with the 4knam

NAM and the HRRR/RUC/RAP, etc. look about as far apart on snow totals as you can be...

 

That said, my word on the frozen threat...

It's clearly way overdone on the latest HRRR/RAP and they will be coming down soon for sure. I'd be stunned if I saw more than 3-4" of snow/sleet out of this. Central Park could see 5" before ZR/rain set in.

Not seeing how eastern suffolk warms so much with NE wind....just not seeing it. I could see warming being translated from the upper levels down, is it enough is the million dollar question I guess. Be that as it may, is eastern suffolk the first to go above 32f in that scenario? I would think a more uniform transition (if any) S to N not E to W

There's a coastal front which should approach late in the storm, particularly out by you which should pivot winds more to easterly, which would raise surface temps a few degrees and maybe get it to 34 or so, but by then a lot of damage looks to be done, especially west of the WIlliam Floyd perhaps.

I've seen times where the CF was supposed to blast through only to remain at the shoreline......I hope that doesn't happen this time, but I have a bad feeling here.

I wonder how the synoptics were here for VD 2007, which was a major icestorm right down to the beaches. I was in PA at the time and pelted by tons of sleet, but I remember the coastal redevelopment which was very close to the shore and there still was no changeover here until the very end to rain I was told. I know the preceding cold airmass was colder and there was more of a northerly component to the winds but I'm also getting a bad feeling about what's coming.

I'll gladly take 2-3 inches that is then frozen solid in preparation for whatever comes this weekend. I remember that great icestorm of January 1994 or 96, everything outside was crystalline in nature, awesome sight.

When you lose power and probably many trees that are still snowcovered, you most certainly won't.

Beautiful pine enrobed in layers of crystalline ice, shimmering glissando notes played in tune with the rhythm of the falling rain, freezing......as we also will be as we pour hot water on us to shower since power could be out for days.....lol

The surface cooling trend on models of late isn't very reassuring either, man I hope I'm wrong
