I would take 3-4 in a heartbeat , however me thinks we're looking at a C-2" situation for NYC metro, with perhaps a little more off to our west.. Sure, I'll get jumped on for that but the good news is we only have to wait two days for verification one way or another  :whistle:

My thinking hasn't changed much. Given the guidance (excluding the NAM and the RPM), this system probably won't generate a lot of precipitation. Something between 0.05" in and around NYC to 0.15" in parts of the area (probably a portion of western NJ and Long Island) seems reasonable right now. All said, it still looks like a 1" to possibly 3" event in most of the area.

A typical clipper. I will take this in a heartbeat.

Snow showers on the 12z Nam for the area.Weaker and further south.

It's not further south . It gets strung out and weaker.

Doesn't deepen fast enough so the result is there is less precip.

There's .10 to .20 from the city on to long island.

Don't analyze please .

The low is weaker and further south. There is precip enhancement for the area. Looks like 1-3 inches on the run for the area .

it's not a very cold clipper like the last one that passed thru...temperatures are forecast to bottom out in the low 20's in KNYC after the storm...this might be on a better track for us...I'll take 1-3" at this point...Tomorrow we could be looking at 2-4" or flurries...TWT

I am a little confused on this one.   The column of air over NYC is minimal at best and so a 10:1 ratio seems plausible.   IPS chart gives us just .03" of liquid equivalent.   How do we get 3" --- 4" of snow from this?   I am not being a kill-joy and I love the snow, just don't like false hope in a stinky snow season like this one is and will continue to be till QBO starts to behave.

So on the good side, the global model has gotten wetter overall...the GFS has never been a particularly good model for discerning QPF...its become almost NGM like in its aridity recently...and being non mesoscale...placement has never been its long suit.

Unfortunately, it isn't. Perhaps one might suggest it to Levi Cohen that text data be added to the site? Regardless, the site is outstanding.

I agree. The site seems amazing especially that it's offered for free. I'm new to the site and I'm still learning how to navigate it so I didn't know if I was just missing the text outputs. Thanks.

This is the best site I've found to get text data from model outputs.

Texas A&M is ok too but NAM only goes out to 48.

Meteostar is good for GFS text.

Plymouth state is good as well, go down to individual soundings on the left

Looks good for me ( CN ) . I am in this subforum  . However I expect that to correct N . The GFS is deepening the polar wave at 60 and flattens the flow so the Arctic SW gets strung out .

Could be typical GFS bias of deepening  the wave that`s  too far east .

I still like 1 to 3 across most of the area .

We will see.
