Nope.

Thats only 15mm for NYC from hour 12-24. With maybe 1-2 mm after, at most.

15mm is only .60" of QPF for NYC.

After seeing the NAM tighten up the QPF gradient, I expect the GFS to hold serve. I don't think it's right with the track per say, but this has always been a LI/New England Storm....

Stop worrying about model output QPF...this is now a nowcasting event. This is a repeat of 12/26 in terms of the models shifting slightly eastward as the storm approached. NE NJ on northeastward is going to get in on the banding and do very well. Those of you wishing for 2'+ need to realize those events are extremely rare and 6-12" are the norm with miller B's. I still like 10-16" from 287 to Western LI and 16-24" from suffolk county on north and east.

It would be hilarious if the storm went east but the heaviest banding was to the west like with the last storm. It would mean that the storm center going east doesnt necessarily mean less precip in areas just to the west of the progged jackpot zone.

We get .75" qpf on the GFS, Alex.

The GFS made a little jump west, but it's still nowhere near the NAM.

Well, with 12:1 ratios that'd be 9 inches.... if we somehow got 15:1 ratios, that would be 11 inches. I know its too soon to tell how much qpf we're going to get but .75 has been a pretty consistent number for us on the GFS. 1.25 on the euro and nam. The funny thing is we demand so much precision of our models during snowstorms-- and yet in a rainstorm .75 and 1.25 dont seem like that wide of a spread. In snowstorms, of course, it means much more.

GFS looks like it holds serve to me. I would be very uncomfortable betting on more than 12 inches of snow for NYC.

Note how artfully worded this is to be completely meaningless, since you don't define what the theshold of "comfort" is.
