Hey, just a quick question, what websites can I see these model runs? Right now, I use weather.cod.edu and tropicaltidbits

Tropicaltidbits is a good free site.  Pivotalweather is another.  Pay sites are weatherbell, stormvista and wx.graphics (or whatever it is now).

I usually just lurk, but want to make sure I'm understanding correctly...crazy winds everywhere, correct, not just the coast? I'm in Montague NJ (by High Point), but only about 700 ft. (Trying to decide if we should get the generator out or not.)

The winds are even stronger the higher the elevation. For example 925mb is around 2600 feet above sea level. So your elevation means you're closer to the stronger winds.

Banter but,...this site is quiet for what could be one of the biggest storms of the season...

Possibly bc there's a lot of uncertainty so some are being gun shy (don't blame them at all).  Also could be bc some people being rude to posters for no reason.

My final call is going to be 2-4" for Central Park, LGA and ISP. 1-3" for JFK and points East, with a coating on the East end of Long Island.

I like 3-6" for HPN, 12-16" for SWF, 4-8" for MMU and 3-5" for EWR.

South of Rt 78 I like 1-3" except for interior Central NJ where I can see locally up to 5"

I also think the higher elevations of Western Passaic County, Sussex County receive 8-12"+.

Riiiight...that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation!

Disregard my last post about the 3k snow map

3k Nam

The run shows 6-12 for central and south Jersey, 3-6 for Manhattan, 12 inches for central LI, 4-8 for the south shore of NYC

Very weird

It took localized heavier sim radar echoes and counted it as snow. Easy to see on tropicaltidbits ptype/radar.

Still has that mega-swath in the LHV and Northern NJ.

Fresh from Mount Holly.  They are going with 800ft.+ for the higher accumulations, at least in my area.

 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM FRIDAY TO 4 AM
EST SATURDAY...

* WHAT...Wet snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 
inches at higher elevations above 800 feet and 2 inches or less 
in the valleys are expected.

* WHERE...In New Jersey, Warren and Morris counties. In 
Pennsylvania, Northampton county.

* WHEN...Rain will transition to snow initially along the high-
elevation ridges around midday Friday and then closer to mid
afternoon in the valleys. The snow will be heavy at times Friday
afternoon and evening with snowfall rates of 1 inch per hour
possible. The snow is expected to end from west to east 
overnight.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on very difficult travel conditions,
including during the evening commute on Friday. The combination
of strong northwest winds gusting to 50 mph and heavy snow 
could create near-blizzard conditions with visibilities below 
one-half mile at times. The heavy, wet nature of the snow and 
strong winds will likely cause damage to trees and power lines 
that will lead to scattered power outages, especially at higher 
elevations.

I wouldn’t touch the 3K.  The 12Km has been on fire this winter.  The 18Z run though was worlds different than the 12 and mostly rain in the metro so I’m not sure it can be trusted either making that sort of wild swing in one run
