Looks great, a bit nervous after forky mentioned could easily be rain. 

Agreed, his instinct is far more right than wrong even when it goes against consensus so that gives me real pause in dismissing the rain solution. There's still enough time for the models to overamp this too so I think the rain option should still be on the table.

AI Euro beefed up along the coast

You are the man with the AIFS snow maps, so, please?  If not out yet, it shows a general 0.3-0.5" of QPF with temps at about 32F to start for most but dropping into the 20s, so ratios could easily exceed 10:1 (3-5" at 10:1 or maybe 4-7" with good ratios) if we get good snow growth, given a likely cold column for most of the event.  Verbatim.

I don't think Forky trolls. Some sass might get dispensed from time to time, though. 

LOL he admits that he trolls a lot. He literally has said many times that he's not genuine with a lot of the stuff he posts. Of course that doesn't mean that he isn't a good meteorologist though. Some of his posts are valuable.

  • wdrag changed the title to Discussion-OBS likely minor-mdt 1-7" slippery impact snowstorm/event mainly btwn Noon Sun 1/19-4AM Mon Jan 20. Heaviest axis near or just inland I95. Possible 1/22 separated in new thread.

Just updated thread title   Discussion-OBS minor-mdt 1-7" slippery impact 7-14 hr snowstorm mainly btwn Noon Sun 1/19-4AM Mon Jan 20. Heaviest axis near or just inland I95. 

New thread for next unknown snow amount event with a large range from fringe 1" to at least moderate 1/22-early 1/24 begins about 530PM. 

Our 1/19 event that the NAM is trying to find for the first time in its 18z/16 cycle is fairly well produced now by all other modeling with the axis of greatest accumulation still a bit uncertain but seems to be shaping up near or just west of I95 to possibly as far northwest as I84.  I added 7" in the title because I'm pretty sure we can see a stripe of 7" but where.  C park????? may see its first 4" snowfall since 1/29/22 (thanks to our XMACIS experts).  

There should be some pretty good banding for a few hours near or after sundown Sunday, and for now seems to locate near or west of I95. Snow ratios should be a little higher in the colder air. 

You have the ensembles and we'll see how this works out.  Had a bottom number 1".  It's possible that the Island might have some melting and also a little rain so cant promise there, but this looks to me like we'll see snow everywhere, just how much. 

Above freezing temps I95 corridor eastward permit melting on contact during the afternoon I95 corridor and LI but after sundown, presuming its snowing, travel conditions can deteriorate rapidly.  The good news is that Monday is our Martin Luther King holiday and Inauguration Day so traffic should be less.

WPC midday significant snow map attached. 

The post events temps should still concentrate on the January thread.

I'd like to see the 18z GFS regarding the second event which has a pretty good chance of getting fringe snowfall up here 22nd-23rd.  That one wont thread til about 530 PM.

Close call. I still think it’s too amped but we will see 

Hopefully in 24 more hours we're converging on a snowy outcome for everyone. But it's thread the needle based on the wave spacing and trough orientation. There's no confluence/blocking to the north to nudge it east. I don't see this as a slam dunk moderate event that others seem to. Maybe this fast Pacific pattern can save us for once.

Need the tpv to adjust south a bit
