11:11p: There may be a feeling that the storm is not happening as forecast. We are seeing a rapid expansion of moderate to heavy snow moving east to west towards New York City and the Lower Hudson Valley. The storm system is rapidly intensifying off the coast. The worst conditions were not expected until overnight, and we are beginning to see observations of blizzard conditions across Long Island and southern CT. As the low slows down southeast of Montauk Tuesday morning, bands of snow will continue to pivot through the region.

Things still seem to be on track to me, just like the NYC NWS said LI has been getting slammed w/ blizzard conditions for a while now and there is a heavy snow band moving into NYC within half an hour.

Poor guys... Are you watching it for next weeks storm?

 

I'll probably catch up and report on the trainwreck at about 1:30.  I am trying to do some work, too, LOL...

 

Looks like the NWS has further cut NYC's totals down to a more reasonable 14-18".  Yesterday, they were showing 24-36".  The Euro flopped and they went all-in for it...

Still a huge storm. 14-18 is a major storm even for them.

Maybe.  But it's not crippling, historic, or worthy of shutting the city down for, which is what was done.  It's just another run-of-the-mill major storm... like a 6" storm here.  It's notable, exciting, and might be the highlight of the winter, but I'm not likely to remember it a few decades from now.

we can forget about next weeks storm its not going to happen.. the pattern has gone to junk the last couple of runs... i think

the moutains still stand a chance for wintry weather.but this clipper isnt going to do what the models were showing developing a 50 50. this storm just isnt that strong to make it happen... seeing nyc only get half their forecast snow total doesnt make me feel so bad being i got about the same our of both the jan 28 and early feb storm last year.

Looking at the RADAR now I doubt NYC gets 14, may not even get 12...
