rickrd Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 JB just posted that GFS has won this one. "The GFS is the projected winner in NYC. The WRF that went ape at 18z has backed down. Th GFS is in now and keeps the heavy snow east of the city.There has already been 3-6 inches in NYC, and it will likely be doubled when its done, but this is a great feather in the cap of the GFS" Sorry. but I thought I'd pass it on.

weatherlogix Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 it's possible due to that meso-band bisecting n.y.c earlier today..5-6 in that band alone locally..add another inch or so and yeah your close to 8.. i am only a few miles from that and on the same line. I have about 5.5". A 3" difference is kind of unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwcMan Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Seriously tho, how much time do us in NJ have left? There are some bands south of long island that seem to be heading northwest tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I don't know if I ever recall a storm where the cutoff setup in Queens or Nassau, its usually well east of that, this could be a first, at least in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who is left that isn't at least hedging? Not NWS, they are sending signals. Steve D? DT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WintersGrasp Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 So who is left that isn't at least hedging? Not NWS, they are sending signals. Steve D? DT? I think some mets are thinking "ah what the heck.....might as well not back down.....I'll get bashed regardless" Despite the optimism (not sure why exactly), this storm is a bust of epic proportions. 20-30" is in our forecast under a Blizzard Warning.

rygar Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I can faintly see the moon through the clouds. The westward progress being so slow and unsteady is painful to watch. Still time but the clock is ticking. This late in the progression of the storm, I just told my kids the visible moon is a kiss of death. We'll get some snow tonight, but very little confidence in the latest NOAA forecast of about 14 for our area. Good news, if you want to stretch it, the weenie intellicast radar continues to show west progression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 a poster in this forum who went through that band just posted that band looked much more impressive on radar than reality..... It was intense man. Its just really narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherlogix Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 snowing hard now - gusty winds as well. If it snowed like this for the next 10-12 hours the forecast would verify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemost Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 probably explains why the radar just falls apart when it hits jersey. Hopefully it closes off at h5 soon & the dynamics can overcome.

WintersGrasp Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It was intense man. Its just really narrow. Check out that band on the kdix radar about to hit the jersey shore. It's going to make it there. I wouldn't be surprised if a place like Toms River sees 4-5" in an hour or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYStorm Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I almost want it to dump on NYC solely to rid of the downers here... Amazing how this place has become a place of wishcasters. Why are people who are using objective evidence that this may not turn out to dump the 20"-30" forecasts labeled "downers"? It is looking more and more like they are going to be right. Not to say that NYC and surrounding won't get a good foot or so. But jeesh ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
