This really seems like a more compactified version of the Millenium Storm. If you remember, with that one, NJ was the jackpot and the low tracked over Central Suffolk County. The two storms I'm thinking of with this are that one and Feb 10, 2010..... both intensified rapidly and had sharp gradients. I remember you mentioned another one yesterday-- but I forget which storm that was.

what about March 2001.....would that be similar too??

Meh, if it busts and only hits new england. Although, come to think of it, that was another storm where Long Island got around a foot of snow and there was a sharp cut off to the west, but that was only because they got the backlash effect. We actually had some midlevel warm air come in when the storm started and I remember that was a rain/ice mix and only changed over to snow for the backlash.

oh yeah oh yeah, look at the forecast!!:thumbsup:

Tonight: Snow, mainly after 9pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 27. Blustery, with a east wind 7 to 10 mph becoming north between 17 and 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 10 to 14 inches possible.

lol upton lowers totals west, but really amped up on totals north and east.

Mean while most models WHERE trending a bit wetter for nyc and NENJ

Hi-res models are wetter. ALL globals are .50"-.75" range for NYC.

They took a blend it appears and went 9" range for NYC.

No, why would they? We could get 50 inches of snow but if there's no wind, it's just a regular old winter storm warning.

Do you agree with their decision to get rid of heavy snow warnings? I think there is a difference in inconveniences between 6 inches of snow and a foot of snow.... let alone two feet lol. The latter can be life threatening.

I am going with 6 for NYC,8 for Queens and 18+ for LI

I'm just using this particular post as an example, but it appears that most of the non-Met predictions here are disregarding the high resolution models in favor of the Euro/GFS...most seem to be forecasting between 6 and 10" for NYC, what is the reasoning behind this? I'm actually quite bullish going with 14-20" for the boroughs from west to east respectively.

I'm not criticizing anyone just curious as to people's reasoning.

wow, it looks like on that map that the south fork is the only one that will have mixing issues..

meanwhile, News 12 thinking 8-15" with mixing possibly east of R 111 (i'm east of that :( )...

It makes sense even if we dont like it (I dont like it either.... Im on your side of the fence lol.) Anyway, Ive heard the NAM and some of the other hi res models are guilty of "smoothing"-- meaning they paint a broader area of high qpf than what occurs during storms which have banding. They probably think the globals will do better in areas that see less banding and the hi res models will do better in areas which get on the really good stuff. Makes sense, sadly enough.
