2/15 Snow threat

SV has 6-8" for the Boston area and 4-6" from SW CT up through Central MA. Foot plus for northern Maine and close to 30" for parts of Nova Scotia.

 

SV maps are terrible to use for snow. They overestimate the ocean influence for NYC and LI almost all the time.

The clown maps in general are terrible-look at soundings. 99% of the time I look at soundings and disregard those maps. That's what gave me the first idea of the torching that would happen at 900mb that shafted some people.

 

SV clown maps have a pathetic bias towards the coast and should never be used.

 

Soundings show NYC starting at 32.8 degrees and then dropping to 21 degrees by the end of the event. Not to mention 850s are -8 degrees and thicknesses in the low 530s.

So what are you suggesting in terms of the maps? too high? too low?

The 15z SREF members have large spread to the west.

I think this is projected to go negative like the last storm. The result was the further west models ended up being correct despite everyone thinking it would be further east, so a storm further west would not be surprising. I still would go 1-3/2-4" around the city but there's potential for more.

Yea its possible the problem is the trough is just a little to far east when it tries to go negative

Sc's storm wound up in tn and our amazing ccb... Well we all know what happened there. Not saying it's going to happen as no situation is the same but when it comes to modelology... They have been to far se all winter.

This is a classic case of the best dynamics jumping over the area. I've seen it a hundred times. Doesn't mean the area sees nothing but PA and LI will get a lot more than NE NJ and NYC proper.

one hundred  percent agree with this - not what people want to hear but in these situations much of nj/nyc/ and often times philly get jumped with these miller b's --- I think this is a 1-3 for much of the area with maybe 2-4 out eastern end of LI (much more for our friends in new england)
