Yeah, but the precipitation field was more expensive. I wonder if that’s more because of the ULL passing through? 

almost certainly. probably some weird double barrel action in there too that leads to the model plotting the center east

individual members all over the place - that tells us something - they are still going to adjust to more of a consensus as we inch closer to showtime

Positive trend with the euro. Hopefully wake up to some good 6z news

its still a moderate snowstorm at least for the immediate metro - and still could be more then that - doubt it will be less then what we are seeing modeled now on the EURO IMO - Overall I think the Euro's have the best handle on this entire situation right now....

Totally agree. I think we are still seeing the normal model fluctuations that we see before most of them narrow down to more of a consensus. Once we get to President's Day we should begin to see a more clear cut trend. They will probably continue to go back and forth debating the track and position of the upper low, the kicker, and the surface track for the next 24-36 hours. Right now, I think this can end up going either way. But it certainly looks better than earlier and than on the other models.

In 12 hours we went from every model showing a significant to major (or more) storm at 12Z to all but one of them showing nothing more than a coastal scraper (several inches towards the coast with little to no snow along/NW of 95). Not sure what's more unprecedented, most of the models showing a major to historic storm over the last 48 hours (which is extremely rare 4.5-6 days out) or that near consensus going into the shitter 4 days before the event for almost every model. Almost.  Until the Euro saved Christmas, lol.  

Seriously, though, if the pros/experts are dumbfounded how are us hobbyists supposed to feel?  One thing I will say, though, is that If a much less snowy outcome isn't a blip and is somewhat close to where we end up, it would prove to be perhaps the biggest modeling coup ever - for the Euro AIFS, which for days has been showing a coastal scraper or complete miss (apart from 12Z today, where it did show 3-5/4-8" snow for most) and has never shown a major storm unlike every other model (multiple runs).  Let's hope it's not a coup.  Debating not tracking at all tomorrow and being surprised on Monday, lol.

Good Sunday morning everyone,  As you're assessing... I've no change to this headline. Might adjust it Monday if I can shorten the window of opportunity. 

Despite several ops missing to the southeast of us, the strength of coming shortwave, and the already in place snowstorm for the Delmarva-nw 1/3rd NC  (ice remainder of the interior Carolinas) tells me we'll at least be on the northern fringe of a 2-6" powder event.  Room for error and the debate will continue but I'm in for snow entire NYC subforum,  just how much (WPC overnight shift continues 30-50% chance for more than 3" here).  This might be the last solid opportunity for Feb, with cold air in place.  It wont be a KU but like yesterday's 0.2-1.8" snowfall for much of the NYC subforum, it adds up to a nice Feb, presuming my own perception from the 00z/16 ensembles is correct.  Probably my last on this today and baby sitting tonight-Tue AM so time will be shorter.

Better name, kept thinking you were reporting weather from Boulder, Colorado and why do you care about weather in the northeast.

so if im right NY Metro might be on the cusp of another 1-3 event. I guess that's where expectations should lie and be happily surprised with more. 

in weather time, it could be a foot or 1-3 inches

Waking up to catch up on 200+ posts on weather model and storm tracking is an encapsulation of the human emotional experience.

Sure is, I always said that these boards should be mandatory reading for psychology majors and 1st years lol. 
 

My thoughts on NYC and points east being better suited in this set up remains and most (all?) models reflect that to varying degrees. I have my reservations sitting 30 miles west, but that could also be my slight conservative bias when forecasting for my area. 
 

as others have said, it’s about 4 days out from a potential storm and all the players there. How and when should start being ironed out over the next 36 hours or so.

The question on everyone’s mind then is, how much for MMU?
