Zelocita Weather Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Most models have a clipper cutting down from the plains and rounding the bend with some light snows in the area. Very cold air will be in place, so possible some coastal enhancement as well. Newest NAM depiction below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The development of an offshore storm Friday looks a little more promising, especially for eastern sections of the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't take much for the storm to throw some more snow back. We just witnessed how a forecasted miss a few days out managed to drop advisory snows on us.

winterwx21 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 12z RGEM gives northern Jersey, NYC and LI 1 to 2 inches with the clipper wednesday night into thursday morning. Hopefully we can pick up a little accumulation with this clipper. I see GGEM is showing a more significant snowfall friday night, but I don't think there's much other model support for that.

Geminid meteor shower tonight, best of the year, will be FAR more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sferic Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 But will it survive over the Pennsylvania mountains? Usually clippers will look nice on radar on its trek east then fizzle and break apart before reaching NYC/LI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually clippers will look nice on radar on its trek east then fizzle and break apart before reaching NYC/LI It'll weaken (west of Apps, 3-6"/4-8"), but should hold on, with the chance of a little coastal enhancement in eastern areas, for 1-2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I like the idea of a coating to an inch (with a few locally higher amounts) across the area. The bump up in snowfall on the RGEM + the GFS showing a slightly stronger system (994 mb at 12 hours on the 12z run vs. 995 mb at 18 hours on the 6z run) are favorable developments on the guidance.

jm1220 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Might be a surprise 1-3” east of the city if the clipper can enhance a little on the coast and the precip isn’t shredded too bad over the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is gonna be a surprise 1-3" for both the interior ( ratios) and the east of the city due to some coastal enhancement. NAM/GFS/RGEM all show it.

forkyfork Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 the trend with this system has been wetter and stronger. we also get lift in the DGZ so 20:1 ratios are possible. i think we get 1-3" with localized 4" amounts on LI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 This for me is an annoying system. Not that I don’t want snow but it’s not well advertised so I’ll have to push my bosses to allow me to come in for snow removal. If they say no and we do get over an inch I’ll get a pankicked 6am phone call telling me to come in. I’d much rather a slightly bigger event so I can plan accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Something about Forky being bull**** on a threat gives off good vibes...bring on the snow EDIT: Above said Bull-ISH.....as in strongly in favor of.
