Uggh. Hate to see Ryan’s station fall into the windshield wiper effect. Just cut their totals

What?  No they didn’t.

My take is the track inland towards ACY makes sense, but GFS beyond that point is  questionable. I think the euro handling of the kick east is superior. Basically the track I put out yesterday afternoon is a 50/50 blend of the 6z GFS and the 0z Euro, and that’s what I still think will verify. 

6z GFS is also weakest solution so it’s a worst case scenario for the subforum. I think it’s OTL intensity wise. 

Because the system sort of occludes the kick into NJ is worse than it would ordinarily be.  Typically we would get pounded here once the kick east occurs as would most of CT but because the semi occlusion the back edge probably dies as that low kicks out 

[WintersComing]

We did?

Sorry didn’t mean cut back. My bad. Should have said bumped everything west

so glad i won't be glued to this today as i am very busy....i will check in later

its kinda all about tomorrow as next weeks event looks wet....playing with fire here at this point in the season without arctic air

reading box discussion there are even more flags....valley down sloping etc which i thought might not be as bad this time

Cranky old lady at it again.

Just not buying that GFS run. Hate to see it come back at 12 z and then have to bump or slide back over

I think we actually increased totals. The 8-14 contour got dragged south into coastal Fairfield co.

GFS is like 20 miles west at most of other guidance. 

GEFS also had the last storm going over Poughkeepsie at one point and several cycles into eastern CT. Not exactly reliable.

[Buddy1987]

If we are going to knit pick, I believe Darren has the 4-8'' line way to north and west. He will need to adjust that imo to the south/southeast. No way Naugatuck line and some 10 miles southeast of them have a minimum of 4'' only.

Your defense mechanism of calling me names every time I disagree with something or point out something you didn't consider is getting old fast. I call it like it is.

70/30 euro/gfs & nam blend is the way to go. Prob leads to a UK type look.

I don’t really see it dying out per se. There’s a lot of vorticity in that trough. To my mind the phasing happens more gradually —due to the Cut off low near the Lakes —rather than all at once so the system remains in a quasi-steady state intensity-wise as it kicks east.

You need to move...plain and simple!

The euro isn't 12-18 north and west of the river. South and west maybe, in your hood. It is not that much qpf for the berks area.

[moneypitmike]

From GYX:

The 06.00z GFS is the only model that
continues to warm the lowest 2 km until after 06z Thu...reaching
as high as +3 to 4C. All other model guidance pins wet bulb
temps just above 0C near the coast and holds them there until
after 00z Thu...when temps begin to fall in the truly heavy
precip. Given that temps aloft are plenty cold and heavy precip
will be moving in...my preference is to ignore the GFS low level
thermal profile in favor of the rest of the guidance...including
what was available of the high-res NAM.

You stick with qpf and surface maps. See how far that gets you.

[WintersComing]

Day before a storm is always fun around here lol

[WintersComing]

Think it’s always been a safe call that most of CT sees 6-12 little bit less maybe far SE. I’m sure we’ll see but higher amounts 84 and west.

NWS BOX and Albany wrong?

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

If all anyone did is use euro qpf and vendor clown maps to forecast big east coast snowstorms past several years, they’d look very bad. Jan 15, Jan 16, Mar 17, and even this past Friday toa lesser extent.

I dunno what hes trying to accomplish. I see 12-18” out west in many forecasts.

Tucky, but would be a good solution for you.

I’ll stick with the EPS/ Euro / Ukie/ Reggie suite thanks

Tucked but alot colder than the gfs. More realistic imo 

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

I like the evolution of systems with regionwide hits. Sure I want as much as I can get, to maximize a storm. But I am also a giver, a sharer of snows.
