CIK62 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Not being talked about is the fact that the EURO has been indicating all time low March temps for the 6th and/or 7th. for at least 4 runs. Ranging from -5* to +2*. It has also stayed with 8"/9" for the storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Ant, you hung in there ( though even you were waving the white flag ) and looks like we may get a decent storm here; consensus at NWS seems to be in the 4-8 range except for the coasts, but they seem to mean Ocean and parts of Monmouth Co ( some in that one area of Monmouth County think they will do better; miss PB's analysis, looks like he's on another board now ) and darn it if I don't want another one! Of course, this one hasn't actually happened yet....peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only fly in the ointment is the marginal temps in place. We need to slow this storm down a bit so it arrives after sundown. That way we can get maximum snowfall with no sun angle issues and longer duration event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the EC is too low but I can easily see a +6F low Thursday morning (looking at LI temps as more realistic). Snowcover helps. I see many are following the warmer GFS MOS on this. We'll see what happens but this has been advertised as you said, for many many days now. On the snowfall...the EC did back off temporarily with its 00z/3 cycle but has come back up. ENS from the GFS and EC appear a little low. I am going to ride with the NAM, as my usual for the first 48 hrs. The only time I hesitate with there NAM is when it ABRUPTLY changes. Then I need another cycle to confirm its change. The record for Thursday is I think 7 above in CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVSnowLover Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 No model really caved with this, seems like Euro/GFS eventually compromised and met in the middle which is what many expected. Seems the best snows will be along and probably a little NW of I95. Think this is a 6-9 inch event for jackpot zone, best amounts as usual in these events probably Northern NJ through the Harriman Highlands. Lower amounts north of I84. Change to rain/mix possible for Suffolk county and maybe south shore of Nassau. Everyone else in the tri state area should be all snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 4-6” in the city, 3-5” in immediate SE burbs, 2-4” South and East of there. 5-8” for interior NNJ and Lower Hudson Valley except 4-6” in Westchester. 3-6” in far NW sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 For what it's worth...BANDING signal continues...looks pretty big to me from se NYS through CT to near BOS. That means .6" of liquid could easily be 10" instead of a 10-1 6". Also, roads will not have quite as much due to initial 1-3 hours of melting. Also...with 6" or more falling in a 32-33F environment near I95, I could easily see power outages...especially ne corner NJ into srn CT. We'll see if the snow materializes as now predicted. Confidence is that it will but jury, as always, still out deliberating. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Weenie snow maps are going to be way off with this one. The less mixing, the better you will do, however this is a very fast moving storm. In around late afternoon/early evening and out before sunrise or around then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah best banding signatures around 02-04z along 95 and just NW could put somebody higher than currently forecasted ceiling of ~8”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS has been too far Southeast with the track for a few days. The NAM develops a band just to our SW around 23z and that tracks NE of the area by 06z which is the period that most of the snow will fall. Other hours will be mostly light or no precipitation.

But usually NE NJ and Westchester are considered part of the Metro and both those areas look to be 5+. The NAM is also likely wrong with this. This is one storm given the timing is overnight that I'd lean will produce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Also based on 3k 06z NAM 700mb there could be an initial band that passes through near the onset followed by the secondary band or main show from about 01z to 05z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJW014 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 NWS Mount Holly definitely on crack putting me in the 4-6" range. Not a chance for my proximity to the shore. 2-3" my estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 If the last system was able to drop over 4" in places then this one could easily drop double that somewhere. It's slightly colder aloft (less sleet), it's a night time event, it's a much larger, stronger, and wetter system. 4-8" across the board is a good call with local amounts topping 10". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM signature: One visual for 06z/4 attached from the 06z run. Pretty darn consistent and nice stretch now... Not sure where you see EC banding? NAM very consistent. This will definitely build amounts along and north of this black band, above qpf 10-1 relationship. I didn't see snow ratios... but a caution... not much cold air at the sfc, so I dont think more than 10-1 ratio along I95. Another I95 caution, am hoping UVM can overcome the +32F aloft... NAM prob of frozen is below 80% PHL-NYC on I95. Your or anyones counter comments welcome, with some science support I hope. Thanks.
