12Z suite not so good so far.  GFS gives NYC nada with the 1" line from about Philly to Toms River.  The CMC has the 1" line from about Trenton to Belmar with NYC getting a dusting.  But the fabulous GFS-FV3, which may be our only hope, still has the 2.5" line (0.25" LE) along 78 into NYC and has most of NJ south of there in the 2.5-5.0" swath with the 5" line (0.50" LE) running from maybe Wilmington to LBI.  

If the Euro/UK don't "save" us, WSWs (Weenie Suicide Watches) may need to be issued for Phily to NYC, including most of NJ.  

I don't think WSWs will need to be posted as we've all been warned that this wouldn't amount to much with the PAC Jet raging as it is. For an El Nino year, our weather pattern isn't acting very El Nino-like.

More like a Nina with the cold start and then warmth taking over...

I really hope this pattern change comes. It has been a pretty dreary winter so far. Even people that hate snow are saying they want snow instead of rain. It has been a truly incredible pattern though when you think about it. Could you imagine if we had a summer where we had a week of 80 in May, and then nothing but the 50s and 60s until the end of July with rain every other day? Pretty incredible when you think about it like that!

I see what you're saying, but that's a little bit extreme of an example.  50's in July would be roughly 30 degrees below normal.  50's in January would be about 20 degrees above normal.  Plus, I think we've become accustomed to warmer winters the last few years that feature transient cold shots and monster snow storms (Jan. 16, Mar. 18, etc.)

The Euro didn't trend north.  There is more overrunning on this run.

Euro is 2-4 for nyc south with ratios

Yea exactly. It actually didn’t trend north at all. In fact, the main heavier precipitation shield down in the DC area moved south this run from 0z

give the hype about this being a banner year for snow and cold, the disappointment is easy to see...

Sure, though I'm (hoping) that my yard is not a muddied mess by March, along with the baseball fields in April, 

I'm anticipating that won't be the case though, whether it's from snow or rain.

Yeah the only other 12Z model that really resembled the Euro on the overrunning was the NAM.  Everything else wants to just destroy the overrunning stuff or have it way more south

Nothing worse than last year-took the ball fields here til May to really dry out...

The only time this decade NYC didn’t clear 20” after January 10th was 2012.

If you account for the typical last minute North trend with these systems I wouldn't completely rule out a few hours of some light to moderate overrunning snows on Saturday night, but the majority of the snow should pass South and East.

The setup at 700 looks lousy to me for solid overrunning.  Then again with that sort of high maybe we just have a massive area of light snow and someone gets lucky if we have some sort of frontogenesis feature form.  The EPS does seem like it agrees on the overrunning so maybe other models moves towards the Euro on having it more north

Not calling it, we can still have a good 2nd half, but it will take some big #'s to get snowfall into the great range (let's say 40 inches or better) 

Ok, that’s reasonable. Trust me no one is more frustrated then me right now. Snow for me is big big money. I don’t think this winter will be a clunker. The 6” November storm was already better then 01/02 11/12. We have a light snow event on the way this weekend. I think feb produces the goods. But yes an A+ is out of the question

I think that sometimes people forget how many other things have to “break right” in order for us to get snow on Long Island.  We are surrounded by relatively warm water.

At Upton/BNL, seems pretty snowy historically for a place 90 miles out into the water. Since Y2K rather more Boston-like it seems. I like our odds for things to break right pretty much every year.

Made it to 48 today, and with sun. I’m grateful for all of these hat-less winter days, I haven’t worn one in about a month.

Slowly beginning to notice the later sunsets as well, nearly 20 minutes later than early Dec. It’s about time.

Gone from 4:25pm to 4:42 here.    Mornings still stalled with 7:18 sunrise...
