Remember, adding hourly totals will not yeild actual storm totals....officially measured between every 6-12 hours....Still would be upwards of 18-20", I'd think...

6.

Interesting comment though... so you're saying that BufKIT makes an assumption of measuring hourly with its snow output?

PT was impressed with the OZ NAM check his update:

What I did basically was take the seasonal projected snowfall total for Central Park way up based on the fact that even though most of the models show the -NAO block retrograding periodically, but it never really happens. The set up even after this storm passes continues the -NAO east block and is extremely favorable for yet another major storm not too far down the road. Most of the models continue to show the motherload of arctic air nosing se over time. I honestly do not recall a pattern like this holding firm for this long ever in my life and still, I do not see the pattern truly breaking. Amazing!

That image got my attention since it is taping that disturbance in the eastern Pacific. In fact I looked at the last available visible images of that disturbance and there looks to be a weak rotary circulation on the western side of the disturbance.

The water vapor clearly shows the real subtropical jet feeding into this system as there is a tropical disturbance south of Mexico (MJO induced perhaps?) sending moisture up into the storm on top of the wide open gulf of mexico.

Also note the convection over the carribean. Very similar thing happened for the boxing day storm.

It figures this happens when I'm way out west... but yes this pattern has been utterly unbelievable. I can't believe we may be looking at the 6th KU in 14 months. Just insane...

If I ever get back east the pattern will be atrocious for decades, mark my words... :arrowhead:
