So based upon what has been posted, the Euro has the surface low pressure about 125 miles north or where the mm5 has it, for the same time period, but at about the same longitude?? Interesting....

it sounds like its faster-- that is, no stall.

Exactly the same as what the GFS is showing hour by hour.... not sure where people are getting this faster solution from?

We're pretty close to the 1.25 line...it's oriented from SSW to NNE, so at our longitude, the 1.25" is just offshore...we'll be fine.

Is the qpf slightly lower because the system is a bit faster on the euro or a bit further east? Or maybe a little weaker? The track sounded the same, so Im guessing its slightly faster, slightly weaker.

I don't have the euro to look at but again, based upon my look at the mm5, the storm never gets to that latitude of CC- instead, it gets to just south of LI and then goes ENE and over the benchmark and departs...

SO, i dunno how that will pay out.. of whether the differences will be that big..

We're actually slightly closer to the 1.25" line this run than we were last run. The runs are very similar for us, IMO.

West of the city the GFS was just about done by Monday morning as well. 24 hour event is nothing to sneeze at though. '96 lasted about 30 hours, Feb '03 was also about 24 hours since the snow took forever to get in. Last December was barely an 18 hour event

He had it east of CC by hr 54.... the other models didnt get it there until like hr 63 or so.

I want to know start time for this storm in the NYC area. I have never flown out during the beginning of a storm and was wondering if anyone knows how that usually goes. Our flight is at 345 pm from LGA. I love snow but want to get back home to see the parents. Any thoughts? By the way, my parents already have 3 inches in the Ga Mtns.

You might be stuck till Tuesday. Try to leave earlier or even today. Last year I flew from PHL-TPA on 12/18, right over the entire storm. There was little turbulence over the storm. I listened to my FM radio during the flight and heard the reports from the ground. I distinctly remember a Raleigh radio station DJ being disappointed that it was all rain there and a Baltimore radio station fearing the worst. There were clouds all the way till we were over Georgia. I was almost planning to drive to Florida that day, good thing I decided to fly over the storm instead of drive through it.

Of course I was disappointed to miss the storm since I was in Florida, and I had to sleep in the TPA airport Sunday night and take the Greyhound bus home from DC (where I was connecting) since my DCA-PHL flight was canceled and the bus would get me home faster. I was prepared to take a bus all the way from Tampa if I had to.

GFS track is more classic-- typically for your best snows on Long Island you want the storm to exit south of our latitude to maintain northeast or north winds which keep the snow going for a bit longer. When the storms reach further north you get a downsloping NW wind which dries things out sooner.

All our classic storms-- Feb 83, Jan 96, PD2 all exited south of our latitude.

Yeah, I wasnt all that fond of that 12/19/2009 storm basically because the heaviest snows happened while I was sleeping lol. The onset of the snow was delayed too, so it didnt start until late in the afternoon. When I woke up at sunrise, the snow was just about over.
