I remember the nam back in 1993 nailed the snowstorm in January 

It nailed the 2/8/94 event and was ignored lol because it was out for 4 weeks at the time

The Op Euro has had major overamped biases at this range now for several years.  I believe we could see a run today whether its this one, the 18 or the 00 tonight be insanely far NW (I'm talking where most of the 95 corridor is primarily rain).  Its ensembles though will probably be SE of whatever it does on that same Op run

Exactly, just look at the what it did with Jan 15. It’s going to snow in NYC. It’s just a matter dog how much mix we get. I like where I’ll be on the far NW UWS. Right on the beaches may struggle do to the warm water temps and early season nature of this storm

The Euro did an amazing job from Sandy in 2012 to Nemo in 2013. The one storm that it was too amped on was January 2015. But since then , it has been coming north many times under 72 hrs. But since each storm is a new test cases, will have to wait and see if the 12z run today gives the euro a much needed win. 

This isn’t comparable to January 2015 because that was relaying on Phasing on a true miller B. This is more of a hybrid Miller A. You have always said the euro dose better with STJ. I’ll bump some posts from you

2016 plowed north because of an extremely strong s/w. this isn't quite as strong

This will make it all worth it no matter how much I get.....

the arctic high actually presses the low to the ESE once it reaches cape may

Legit blizzard  conditions on the Euro for many on the coast.

...what would the temperatures be during the storm?

[jm1220]

I think Cape May is our limit for near the coast-it tucks further and we mix/rain for a time.

Post the timestamp before this one.   There's still a lot of inland members.

So are you thinking the Ukmet is the way to go? 

The UKMET can also be pretty erratic from storm to storm and run to run. It’s usually a rear view mirror assessment on which model did the best with each individual storm. I am going to wait until the UL gets fully sampled tonight over Oregon. Day 3-4 snowfall forecasts have always been a challenge since so many important things usually happen in under 48 or 36 hours. The general public doesn’t mind if you forecast 1.00” of rain and .50 verifies. But you would probably hear about it if it was snow especially on this forum.

We are not the general public. Rip that band aid off and fire off a forecast.
