MJO812 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Ukie is even colder 6+ for the coast with 12+ for inland areas of frozen precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Euro shows 4-6+ of frozen precip for the area. Euro kuchera has 1-3 inches of snow for the coast with more inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericjcrash Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Can we stop saying a model shows "X" number of inches of frozen precip when it clearly doesn't correlate. It shows "x" amount of inches of frozen precip at a 10-1 ratio. If its sleet or freezing rain that's included in the clown map, it's no where near the amount depicted. NYC will get 4" of measures frozen precip Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC will get 4" of measures frozen precip Tuesday. Agree, although, freezing rain is not counted towards "snow and sleet" and some maps are just snow without sleet. They really need to label these better. Many models are showing 0.5-0.9" of LE as frozen precip for NYC metro and of that probably half is snow and half is sleet; for example something like 3" of snow and 1" of sleet (at 3:1 ratio or 3.3" of snow equiv at 10:1) is 0.63" of LE as frozen precip, but is 4" on the ground if there is minimal compaction by the sleet.

My hunch is that we end up with another cold rainstorm after a short period of snow, but I am hoping we can get something more substantial, to at least break the snow drought we've been having. The NAM being that consistent really bothers me, even if some don't think much of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some secondary development. It doesn't mature though until it hits New England. Even though the main low goes into he lakes, the cad is impressive on the coast and inland for this storm to start off frozen. The question is how much before the changeover and we will not know that until we get closer. Models are usually terrible with cad situations.

the_other_guy Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 In Albany...and they are taking about changeover and mixing up here. Perspective. Im sorry, I say this in the least offensive way...Too much wishcasting on this forum. ”Front end dump” ”Extended period of icing” ”Cold air is locked in at the beginning” These things almost never happen in the New York City metro area. You can tell me when they have happened...it happens so rarely. This is the second storm in a row that looks bad, plain and simple. we are talking ourselves into salvation with something that’s very rare in this region.

This is the second storm in a row that looks bad, plain and simple. we are talking ourselves into salvation with something that’s very rare in this region. Front end dumps are not that uncommon, but they usually don't deliver beyond 3 inches and the rain almost always washes it all away in a few hours. I've seen more than a few like that; I usually break out the snowblower before it changes to rain mainly to keep the thing in running order; no one else on the block even bothers to clean in these setups. But even those are in good winters; in ones like this, and I've seen plenty, we may get a few flakes for an hour or two and then it's all rain. Not saying that will happen with this one, but I don't see the pros worrying too much about snow right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is secondary development but it's hugging the coast instead of offshore. The way this is turning out I'd almost rather this have been a pure GLC with a weak secondary because now we will all get soaked after it goes above freezing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it is very rare for the immediate Metro area to hold onto a long period of frozen precip in these scenartos. It does happen though look at November but history says usually it's snow to brief Sleet/ZR and then rain. This storm looks a lot better for at least some accumulating front end snow than the last one did though because the surface temps are colder and the timing is much better with precip arriving in the morning rather than arriving late afternoon.

And Nam now is also cold The lakes cutter is too far west to cause a big warm-up here like we usually see with lakes cutters. The high up north is causing CAD in our area which all the models are seeing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect positive trends but I am just hoping it stays the way it is now and doesn't end up with a last minute disaster trend like the last storm.
