Snow Friday 1/19/24: is it a period of light snow (less than 2"), or is there a chance of a 5" swath in part of the NYC subforum? Event OBS.

FWIW the 0z HRRR is a big hit across the metro area and northern and central NJ.

Verbatim would be a 6”+ event for some of the areas you mentioned but of course with the usually caveat that it’s the HRRR 48 out and we know how it will bounce around each hour particularly with the Norlun trough. 
 

nice to look at :)

Good trend, let’s see if other models pick up on it. Hopefully we’re at the range where NAM can’t be totally trashed. 

HRR and Nam…. Hopefully we’re getting a Boxing Day comeback lol

Whoever said earlier that at least in the 80s you could count on at least a few 4-6” events each year, I agree. In grade school we seemed to get precisely one snow day a year from them.  Seemed like the very clippers that for the last two decades mean white rain around here were our go-to for a few 4-6 inchers a year back the .  Everyone who was around back then remembers ‘Alberta Clipper’ right?  That’s what almost all of them seemed to be.

 

Most of the winters in the first half of the 80s had at least 1 good month, mostly in January and the Januarys were cold so the snow stuck around for a bit.  Here are snowfall stats from Syosset that include the early 80's.  Note that even then March was running snowier than December:
