Rtd208 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Reference to timing, snow should begin in the NYC metro between 9 am-12 pm tomorrow IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more worried about it down by TTN than the NYC metro. Remember that for the system a week ago no high res models showed more than 2 to maybe 3 hours of sleet and the NAM was almost all sleet on some runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in north east Middlsex Co; if TTN flips we usually do not long after. Conversely, snow sometimes doesn't get past TTN much to get here.

SnoSki14 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I don't see much sleet with this. Looks like a front end snow thump to rain scenario for us. Primary is weak and very far to the west and there's a strong cold airmass in place. This is much different than the last two systems. One had a very strong intensifying primary (980s) in the lakes to secondary. The other (Sunday) had a weak low right near us with little CAD ahead of it. 1-3" WWA is too low. 3-6" is much more likely. Snow could be heavy for a time, maybe 1-2"+ hour rates. This will be a classic WAA thumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Some similarities to the November storm. This is a much colder airmass than we've seen with the other storms. Dews are only in the single digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly for their forecasts, you need to get your info straight. No one in the metro is getting 6 inches out of this and very likely not any more than 3 inches at the most. As to your other post, this is a completely, totally different setup and storm than November, like not even remotely close, besides the time of day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All storms are singularly unique, so that argument has its limits as well. A few of inches of snow, no matter how or why it gets here, during rush hour, will have the same kind of nasty effects as the storm in November. So there are some similarities. If you've been here awhile, you know my primary interest in weather is in its social impacts. How we get there is much less relevant from a social science point of view. That is the story. Since 2 feet of snow in the higher elevations of ME have minimal social impact, it really isn't news. But 3 inches coming down hard during commuter and school dismissal time is very much a big story. So that is what people need to plan for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way , I like 2-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HVSnowLover Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I don't think this will be the November storm but in terms of setup it's definitely the most similar of the winter, should be a snow to rain event (wouldn't expect much icing) and if the snow comes in like a wall look out.

Ours gets a week in November, NJ has teacher convention, election day, and Veterans Day all in one week. So some districts, many actually, give the week off, and Disney World thanks them for it. The Feb week and even the 4 day Presidents Day is going away due to lots of snow and Sandy over the past decade; schools would be scrambling to make up days. 2010,11, 14, and 15 burned so many snow days we said enough, we don't need to plan days off in mid-winter. Also going away are the Sept Jewish holidays, from when so many staff were Jewish. We haven't had all of them for a few years now. If we don't use any snow days ( hasn't happened in years ) we add em on to Memorial Day weekend. The folks in Maine thank us. So does the shore.

RU848789 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 My new favorite table/graphic...for Newark, LaGuardia and Philly. Between the American models, the Euro and CMC, I'm not seeing any models with frozen LE <0.3" right now for most of the Philly-NYC region and most have 0.5"+ frozen LE, as snow+sleet; note that maps of the CMC don't show sleet, but soundings show a decent amount of sleet (~0.3" LE as sleet) in addition to the 1-3 of snow that model is showing. And most of this falls between about noon and 6 pm after everyone gets to work. Sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
