It sucked dude. We were getting blasted with snow that night (had to be 3-4" hour rates) only to wake up in the AM with heavy, HEAVY sleet. All day, must have accumulated to over 12". About 60 mi north it was mostly snow, where they got 30"+.

 

Are you sure you're not thinking of the March 1993 Superstorm, where a ton of sleet fell, holding accumulations in most of the immediate NYC area down to 10-14" vs. 24"+ where it was all snow? I live 30 miles SW of NYC and don't recall much if any sleet on 2/17/03 - thought the sleet was confined to Monmouth and south of there, as per Ray's archive...

The only real noticeable differences are that all the players appear to be a tad weaker.

 

That, and the secondary energy is not nearly as amplified due to the kicker on the west coast and in some essence the front end energy dragging the baraclonic zone too far northeast. We need the southern energy to speed up.

everything was actually stronger, more amplified. Thats why there was an earlier phase and more digging @ H5.

It would be nice if the other guidance moved to the UKMET solution of a more

consolidated southern stream and deeper low moving further up the coast instead 

the energy hanging back with two waves.

 

Many (and by many I mean most) of the SREF members have a solution similar to this. Interesting to see the different ideas that the models are trying to key in on today.

great trends regardless, but a more consolidated and powerful LP would really deliver the goods over a widespread area especially with the amount of energy this system "COULD" potentially tap into john. IMO it would really be a story book ending to a great and historic winter season for most of the area, for that reason im rooting this to really deliver the goods.

 

couple things that worries me is what happens on the west coast. some of our big systems that were forecasted on the EC were screwed by a storm crashing into the west coast. also the shortwave through Idaho on the 18z as the storm is taking shape down south. to say this is a complex setup would be putting it extremely lightly and to this end this is why you can see how getting a CAT 4/5 NESIS where almost if not everything has to work in tandem in the atlantic and the pacific up into Canada.

 On the srefs,  what do the dark blue, orange and red colors represent on the sea level pressure maps?  On the 15Z panel they are north of the low pressure area.

 

 

edit:  This is on the 72 hr.  NCEP model guidance.
