The media has already gone crazy with this storm. You can tell from the number of social media posts that I've seen already. It's going to be another black eye if the system completely misses.

This is what happens when you give everyone a voice. Misinformed modelologists tell ignorant people about a storm. Misinformed modelologists are wrong. Ignorant people get angry. Both modelologists and ignorant people blame the most qualified people.

Even well known meteorologist have jumped on board. I'm surprised with them

No one is too blame. The number 1 and number 2 skill score models, the Euro and the UKMET painted a foot of snow over the area for the last 2 days.

That's kind of hard to ignore or dismiss.

A lot of this looks to escape east and that happens. It's no ones fault . The guidance is the best we have.

I would have loved to see 12 to 18 into the areas that missed the Blizzard and the EPS had it for 2 straight days but that now looks wrong.

Non of this is perfect and new data is always being ingested so this stuff changes.

Let's see who can salvage what now.

It's hard to believe the Euro has been the #1 score model this winter. It was very late to pick up on the blizzard and the UKMET storm and it has raised a big false alarm with a couple other storms including this one. It has not been good at all with storm threats this winter!

And to think, 12 hours ago folks were worried about the west trend.

I was being serious that the block and 50/50 did not support a west track and that OTS was possible or a coastal location jackpot.

The inland posters thought I was trolling.

Just to set expectations about how rare this would be...

There have been a total of fourteen 6"+ snowstorms after March 15 at KNYC since records began in 1869.

The last one was 24 years ago.

There has never been a foot+ and only four have been over 10".

We should be thrilled if we get 2-3".

1875-04-12 - 10.0"
1890-03-19 - 6.0"
1892-03-17 - 8.0"
1915-04-03 - 10.2"
1917-04-08 - 6.5"
1924-04-01 - 8.5"
1938-04-06 - 6.4"
1944-04-05 - 6.5"
1956-03-16 - 6.7"
1956-03-18 - 11.6"
1958-03-20 - 11.8"
1967-03-22 - 9.0"
1982-04-06 - 9.6"
1992-03-19 - 6.2"

It should also be noted that just 2 of those 14 storms (14%) occurred when El Niño conditions were still present (Region 3.4 anomaly of +0.50°C or higher): April 1915 and March 1992. The March 1958 storm occurred when the El Niño had given way to neutral ENSO conditions.
