Wasn't saying otherwise, His pbp is good, but there's no reason(in general) not just him specifically to start throwing around its going to be a big hit. Let the model do its thing and then everyone can analyze.

18z looked better precip wise . but still looks like a 3-5 inch snowfall

0z GFS .4 Gets back to E Monmouth County and into KNYC .5 gets back to Western Nassau and .6 to the Nassau Suffolk Border

REGM is .5 in the same areas as is the SREF .

I am very comfortable with 4 to 6 From MC North and East .

 

When you total the models up , there will be very few 2s showing up .

So I like 4 to 6 .

UKMET shows good snow for most of Long Island and maybe into NYC as the low comes by tomorrow evening. Probably approaching 0.5" H2O or so because we can only see one relevant QPF panel and that one panel has 0.25" in 6 hours across the east half of Long Island. The GFS shows a closed 700mb low south of Montauk and good lift throughout LI and CT and just coming up into NYC. This can still be a nice event for many of us, more east than west though.

 

However, again the start of the good precip might be rain/sleet across Long Island because the GFS gets 850 temps above freezing briefly.

The low went SE a little on this run, so it's likely that the last few GFS runs were overdone and it will be more like the NAM/RGEM. Looks like we're coming to a 3-5" type event for Long Island, SW CT, Hudson Valley and maybe NYC, 2-4" for much of NJ. Eastern Suffolk maybe 6".

Sounds about right. I would assume we see wwa from upton soon. Still think surprises in store with a low bombing out someone is going to get crushed. And someone is going to be disappointed. These bombing lows tend to have serious banding. I really think this is a mtk special.

The radiational cooling here currently is phenomenal so that should help at the beginning. I was getting worried. I think the cape gets an all out blizzard after rain to start. This is kinds like 2005 just later which sucks for us! That was one of the best storms I have seen as I was in Boston for that!

The consensus has strongly built tonight for a general 2-4" event with more as you head NE of NYC. No models are serious outliers at this point that we need to be overly concerned with major shifts in the track. Of course as shown on the SREF, there is the potential for this to reach back into NYC proper, and that will need to be monitored, but other than that I see no major surprises here.

It's east of the GFS. It's about .25" for NYC and a little more for LI.

This site has precip maps for in between until meteocentre updates later.

We were due for a late developer for New England in a progressive year like this. At least we get the initial batch of snow and the idea that it would vanish is gone.

 

For the Jan 2005 storm I was in State College PA where we had about 2-3 hours of snow and then a dryslot from hell, huge bust as we had less than half the snow originally predicted. I saw what SNE and LI were experiencing and cursed the computer screen, haha

Agree on the radiational cooling. Just noticed I dropped 2 degrees in 20 mins.

I think he's talking about the Dec 9, 2005 storm that was rain on Long Island but huge snows for Boston.

The 2005 storm was so epic in Boston but straight up insane on the cape with 30" plus. The winds in that storm were second only to Boxing Day in my experience. Man does eastern ne get crushed! 200 miles of more development really makes a difference!

Our snow pack took such a beating as we would expect today. It would be nice to add some. I was in the middle of the island earlier and it looked like they had allot more. I'm down to 10" I suspect you have less.

Liking 5" here eastern Nassau maybe 3ish at cpk and 10" somewhere east of river head. They may even approach true blizzard way out there. It's rare to see hurricane force wind warnings outside of Alaska so that has to say something. (Offshore but still)
