Absolute Humidity Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 GFS Euro even NAVGEM, all show 2" - 3" potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The Euro is by far the most north now of all the models, the NAM is too but thats to be expected at the end of its range, its usually N and W... the GFS and its ensembles came south...my thinking was this was a PIT-TTN or ACY type tracker which is nearly perfect for most of this area, probably want slightly south of that. the NavGEM of all models tries to really redevelop it at the coast.

Mikehobbyst Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 This is really looking great for NYC and LI with a 3-5 inch fluff snow potential in all seriousness. LI looks to be in the jackpot for this event. The 1/6-1/11 period looks way below freezing all days, so this snow will last for 5-7 days. 1/11-1/20 gets back to mid 30's at best for any so called moderation. Maybe ice box and KU blizzard 1/25-1/31, with big -EPO, +PNA rebuilding, and MJO going to phase 7/8. What do you think ? Wonder if Feb 2015 will be upper echelon epic and worth waiting for. Think so.... I think we could get to last year's snow with major catchup 1/25-3/10 if we get into a 4-6 week KU pattern, which is possible after 1/20 or 1/25. It would be good if clipper goes crazy and re-develops rapidly off the SNJ coastline and give LI and SNE a 6-10 inch surprise. 5-10% chance at that, but non- zero.

NEG NAO Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 medium.jpg excellent - also the 6Z GFS which tends to handle these clipper storms well in the northern stream right now has about 0.18 liquid which with 850's running at least - 10 that translates into 20:1 snow ratio potential with 100% sticking to the very cold surface - so 2 -4 inches of powdery snow seems like a good forecast to me with the wildcard being an increase in amounts if the storm slows down and interacts with the very warm ocean and starts bombing out - also winds will be increasing blowing the snow around.... http://wxweb.meteostar.com/sample/sample.shtml?text=kewr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the snowfall materializes, it will be a nice way to begin the recovery from a dreadful December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Gfs much drier this run <.10" The models are going to have these differences leading up to the event. All we known so far is that it's going to snow but the question is how much? We always have to worry about the mountains eating up the precip before it gets to the coast.I would be happy with a dusting lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSNOWMAN2020 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 I don't regret starting this thread ; yes it may only be dusting but heck its winter it is something to track I rather track any bit of snow ..rather than watch rain fall. But ya never know clippers can surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 You need significant redevelopment for anything more than an inch with a clipper. Typically they develop near our latitude which is a bit too late. That's why New England typically does better in these setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB GFI Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 .2 @ 700 -15 @ 850 -12 . Maybe some muster 12 to 15 to 1. I can see 3 NW and then E LI based on that euro look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Anything more then .2 will be the biggest ever of the season here. It's been a while since we have had a true clipper type event here as they tend to dry out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 There needs to be more of a surface reflection and stronger energy aloft which goes underneath us for there to be a shot at more than an inch here or there. Right now it seems like the kind of clipper that gets eaten up by the mountains and can't begin to redevelop until it's gone. It'll be nice in terms of seeing snow in the air and maybe a nice coating but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwx21 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 1-3" from a clipper almost always means closer to 1 than 3 A coating to 2 inches is usually the best forecast for clippers around here, unless there is redevelopment. This one looks as if it will be in that coating to 2 category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 What a difference a year makes. Last year this system would be considered like nothing; there wouldn't even be a discussion about it and now it feels like an all or nothing type deal that we are praying happens.
