Amazing that this event has started and the signals are still so mixed. The 12z GFS would give Poughkeepsie easily 8"+ of snow while some of the other models, namely the NAM and RGEM, are closer to 1-3" at best. 

 

In any event, steady light snow is falling here with a temp of 18. Started accumulating right away.

 

I checked my weather station a little bit ago and it registered a wind chill last night of -25. That's the coldest it has ever recorded.  :shiver: Although it should be exceeded tomorrow night.

Seems to be the trend this winter, complete and udder model failures

Did you see the latest RAP? It matches up to the euro which is scary. Anyone know how the HRRR is looking?

 

Here's a look at the 17z RAP at 3 am. Shows our area nicely in the inverted trough. Still no real consensus as to where it will ultimately setup, but I like our chances as much as anyone.

Its seems pretty likely there will be some sort of inverted trough extending back to NW toward our general area. Placement, though, is still shifting around and until it actual develops as depicted on radar I think will just be grasping at straws with each new hourly run of theHRRR and RAP. And then there is the question of just how intense and lasting it may be. Those that end up in it will probably cash in with 3-6" and perhaps an inch or two more while most others see 2-3". Of course LI is another story due to proximity to the coastal. Regardless if you get 2" or 6" it will be a very wintry scene tomorrow watching it be blown around by 15-30mph winds gusting 40+ with temps in in the 5 to 10 degree range! Enjoy it for what it is. Snow accumulations are just one aspect of this and for most not the biggest aspect.

Definitely gonna be a nowcast event, we'll have to keep an eye on the spc meso page to track the low-level convergence zone since the best returns are occurring along the warm side of the low-level fgen maximum. As the trough swings negative later the convergence zone should take on a more meridional orientation and eventually tilt NW to SE... hopefully over someone in the HV hah.

Based on the latest RAP and HRRR, it looks like we are finally getting a consensus of where the inverted trough will setup, and it doesn't look promising for here. The euro may not have been that crazy after all

You and I seem to be consistently looking at different model products, so could you please tell me which areas your HRRR graphics show under the banding? Mine continue to show a decent swath of snow pivoting over Rockland and Orange counties early tomorrow morning.
