Post-Super Bowl Storm chance discussion

So PB you are sticking with all snow and no chance of change for monmouth?

The UKMET says you get a foot of snow then snizzle

The EURO is all snow

The 12z GEFS Says all snow Those are my 3 models .

There is so much forcing on its front side by the time you mix If at all the damage will b done.

i've never seen a SWFE come back south inside 84 hours after the models started bringing mixing into the area

i agree with this, but I will say these SWFE often end up with a big thump to a lighter mix, so it ends up being a pretty good event.  especially since we are dealing with such a good antecedent cold mass.

All the guidance did today is place the 0 line somewhere between Tom's River and just south of the Driscoll . That's not a trend N.

On a NE wind the battleground is usually Tom's River .

You are not seeing a set up where the 0 line is on the CT coast.

All the models are west to east because all the models see the confluence.

So the Last piece ( in this case hour 66 is the 0 line in Asbury or wildwood . ) The 500 mb map S of Greenland looks great and by 72 it doesn't escape into the Atlantic.

You are Getting NE winds with a really cold air mass. I don't need the models to tell me that's snow in NYC

The S/W is trending stronger, so the low is trending north. The confluence will stop it at some point, the question is where. That's why tonight and tomorrow will be crucial. I certainly don't see any rain though besides the immediate coast and then only briefly. The main thing to watch is the 850mb low track and mid level warmth. I've been burned many times at PSU ignoring the 850mb low track. Anywhere south of it is guaranteed to mix at some point.

This is not a true SWFE, its like a bastardized coastal/SWFE

that's true, and I can see how that might lead to a little more actual rain/mix on the back end, but I do think the idea of a good front end thump stands, especially if you get under some good banding.  and that the cold air will be relatively tough to scour out.

 

also that could increase the chance of a snow to rain to snow scenario, correct?

I agree.This is the best looking block near Greenland and 50/50 pattern all season so far.

Let me rephrase, a primary any stronger and you go to rain, how long who knows. 12z GGEM is as good as it gets. Sign me up right now. My mIn concern is a sneak period of ZR given the CAD.

Ice...this looks a bit like 2/2/11 to me, where we had 3" of snow and then prolonged icing with 1/2" of accretion.

 

I think the antecedent cold, the snowpack, and strong banana high pressure will prevent a changeover to rain anywhere in the NYC area.

I agree BL temps will remain below freezing and probably below 30, but really thats low impact after it snows. Freezing rain or plain rain any further NW and there would be liquid falling.

Not that extreme. It happens more than one thinks. 20 degree day North? Probably 27 degree day South. 

I live in Northport and work in Bohemia.  I can tell you many times with marginal events, I would drive home and  see the roads go from wet to white as I cross 25.

The 12 z Euro BL gradient is insane. Before temps crash at hour 72 its 19 on the N shore of Nassau county to 27 at KJFK.

The high temp at KNYC is 19 so if there is any push , you could sleet w the surface at 15 before it goes back over.

Most of the models want to push a lot of moisture ahead of the push and then collapses the entire column and snow behind it

That's why the talk of rain is just dumb. People look at one level and never bothered to peak at the BL .

The surface is COLD . The push people see are in the mid levels and not the surface. And they are quick to reverse.

Excellent analysis. I've been at work flooded with rescue calls, so I haven't been able to look at specifics, but I agree 100%.

South of Merrick rd for sure. -I will start posting my temps more in events like this or just in general. I've seen more than 10'degress before. All you need is a slight south wind. The only true south shore reporting station is JFK. Farmingdale and ISP aren't really on the shore so I don't think it's picked up enough unless you live down there.

This is one I gravely doubt would be any kind of changeover at NYC's latitude...all these east bound cyclones make their way eventually off the NJ coast or the Delmarva...especially on the 1st day of February...when things are about as suppressed as they can get climatologically...how many storms do you know that went from Pittsburgh to Allentown...to Hartford...lmao...they can't because they would run into those hills...it just doesn't happen...if you get mixing...probably confined from Sandy Hook, NJ south...maybe just scraping the S. Shore of L.I.

I mean obviously south of the low there will be mainly rain...but that would probably be confined to the southern half of NJ.

This is our wheelhouse climatologically

I think WSO Upton has an average February snowfall (for the month) of just over a foot the last 14 years..previously, it was closer to 9 or 10 inches.
