GFS, NAM, RGEM look absolutly identical, gonna scrape the nyc area with maybe a few hours of moderate snows for Long Island, NE doesn't see much, looks like eastern Long Island has the best shot out of everyone

Light snow event. Hoping for a bust in a good way . Models have been terrible this year. :weenie:

We can only hope.....but this close to the event, certain models have been very good actually. It's our expectations and refusal to believe them that leaves us disappointed

What's the monthly total up there so far?

 

They haven't done that badly up there because of a few systems that mostly slid to the North of NYC.

 

Im at 50.2" for the year and thats about average for me. Im about 12 miles NE of the Monument so I would figure they are close to their average ( 55-60") as well.

Disagree with the RGEM at this range at your own peril. It's become the new Dr. No.

 

It has had gaffs this year, I'm suspicious of it this event because its so low down in DC...I'm having a hard time seeing that happen...it may be too suppressed on this down there, up here its not tremendously different from other models

Models are getting drier also for DC

Honestly I can't think of one event it didn't really lead the way on. Regardless, more often than not, other models have trended towards it in this range rather than vice versa.

One more decent southeast shift and DC is under 0.50" LE and NYC is under 0.10" LE. And with all the dry air to the North I wouldn't be shocked if nobody saw anything North of I-78.

Same my standards are pretty low at this point. Any other storms to track before spring?

I was able to find the link to the data from nearby Port Jervis / elevation of the station is 198 meters or around 650 feet...it says they have received 14.0 inches of snow this February and 31.4 inches of snow for the 2014-15 winter...though the data from December 2014 looks suspiciously low.

It could easily shift 10-20 miles north or south.

A 10 mile shift is model noise. Not a trend.

The problem here is a missed phase. On the 12z GFS the miss occurs around hr 42 and the southern stream ends up southeast of the benchmark.

and the lead vort keeps the height field suppressed so the southern stream can't climb the ladder. Subtle differences, huge consquences in sensible weather.

31" in Port jervis is a low number for them...I believe their lowest snowfall winter was 25" in 1972-73 but I'm guessing...

There is a chance I think this ends up producing virtually nothing, the soundings show tons of mid-level dry air

I think this is going to end up shafting just about everyone North of extreme southern NJ. And they aren't going to get anywhere near what it looked like a few days ago.

I said the exact same thing last night and people lost their minds lol... Wouldn't be surprised if most of the Northern precip shield falls as virga due to the strong confluence
