Right now I like 1-8” for the city. It’s that dependent on getting into good rates Really tough one. I'm still going conservative because of the marginal setup, but I can also see it busting high if banding does set up overhead and it pounds for a few hours. A few inches is still the most likely outcome IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I'm frankly hoping it produces a decent 4-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the JP was over Long Island this place would be rocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more likely that the people who declared winter over convinced everyone else to stop looking for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sferic Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Even though it torches soon after tomorrow night's event it's still nice to have a several inch snow event. It's a weekend too, we are home to enjoy it. As has been the case too, the jackpot can be 50 miles off if any direction as recent storms have shown.

jm1220 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I’m still somewhat wary of the last second bump north that seems to be a feature of most storms now. The trends today were good for the NYC area for sure, but there’s still time for the low to bump further north and put the mid level warmth in play.

The last minute bump North shouldn’t be a surprise like you said, this is a classic back and forth the last two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've also seen a lot of busts over the last few years. And the setup doesn't look like a slam dunk, from what I am reading here. I have seen storms canceled often enough to know better. I remember a few where we never saw a flake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just hasn't been our year here. I can see waking up tomorrow to read in here that the whole thing shifted north and will draw in rain, giving us the usual 1-2 inch slop over to rain.

My wife likes them better. Who wants to clean 12 plus inches of snow? 3-6 inches is nice. Careful of the wet snow though, it's hard on the back and heart. 3-6 in this pattern really doesn't even need to be cleaned. It will melt fast.

B there’s a pretty good chance the north shore hills on the island could and will be the jackpot.

I think you may need to head to the philly forum if you want to commiserate over “not our year”. im at 26.8” on a 28” average. That includes a 14” blizzard. -4 standerd deviation west based NAO on the way. During peak snow climatology. Next weeks torch will be just another thing that makes this winter memorable. i really hope some nuke band sets up right over the heart of the met so the naysayers can look out the window and see two inch rates. At night mind you. Sticking??? Yeah everywhere.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plowsman Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 They are actually Lodon Plane trees. They look like Sycamores but are more stout and have knobby bark. Sycamores grow way too large for street trees. Im not going to be confident in a forecast until I see the banding set up. Right now I like 1-8” for the city. It’s that dependent on getting into good rates 1-8"!? That even a forecast lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't even pay attention to the forecast for LI, much of it's weather is irrelevant to mine, about as much as DC or Balt. It's a big forum. NJ from about Middlesex Co up through Newark and a little further northeast hasn't had a good year. Parts of the coast did well Jan 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
