Can we take the psycho analysis and the fake pessimism and the fake optimism somewhere else and stick to the weather? Holy hell this is impossible to read.

If you go to the lest page of the NY Metro forums, the boxing day storm is one of the first threads...Awesome to read through and see everyone's reaction as the models had the storm OTS and then flip flop up until late Xmas Eve

that's what we wanted in the end--OTS and then an adjustment north which seems to happen more often that not with our bigger storms

The models were showing a well OTS solution and then I think the 12z Euro on 12/24 started the trend back. Models are a lot improved from then. Hard to believe I’ve been on this board since before that storm.

That never happens.

Yes, likely overdone BUT I do think this upcoming event it going to exceed expectations when compared to some of the over zealous model forecasts over the last few months....especially inland.  Would not be surprised to see 40-50 mph gusts over interior NNJ.  Gusts of 40 mph+ from the southeast, sodden ground, additional heavy rains are going to cause widespread tree / power issues.

Euro, seems less of a gradient in our region and big snows mostly even farther NW than before.

I don't think that map is going to be far from reality.  A tad higher interior NNJ and a little lower NYC/Western L.I.  I suspect.

Yea it's got 4 inches liquid equivalent of snow for north shore of Nassau but surface temps are like 36 so take it with a grain of salt.

Reminder: Avoid 10:1 Snow Maps. Go to the Soundings.

Latest illustration: 12z GFS at 36 hours. The maps show moderate to heavy snow at JFK. The sounding supports rain. The column is above freezing until one reaches 925 mb. The surface temperature is 38°. Based on the soundings, JFK has little or no accumulation of snow rather than the amounts shown on the 10:1 maps.

I highlighted the 0°C line for ease of viewing.

Don… if you don’t mind what is the sounding for HPN just asking because I’m 10-15 miles north of HPN?

How come the model precip type outputs don't match the soundings?

The GFS shows snow at HPN until near 42 hours. Then, there's at least some sleet mixing in. Surface temperatures are above freezing, though.

I'm right next to Allgame, so much appreciated, Don!  We'll have to see if we can anything out of the Sunday part.  NWS disco seems to think that's still on the table.

On a coding level I’m sure it’s a pain to calculate everything to create accurate maps based on mixing lines. Weather modeling output can have different looks on different weather map services and it’s all dependent on individual coding. 

On cynical level it’s also easy to exclude certain aspects in coding maps that favor showing snow in an attempt to generate traffic which in turn generates money.
