Its only THURSDAY. Look what happened with our clipper. Just saying.

That's why I love the north shore. We always seem to get more. Hope your analysis pans out

winter storm watch now up for most of connecticut for 5 to 7 inches of snow in the 10th of an inch of ice. have a feeling it will be extended southwest towards us

by **Quietace** Thu Jan 22, 2015 3:35 pm

12z NAM is probably 2-4 Area wide. The surface is maxing out around 33-34 degrees while precipitation is still in the area after 850s rise above 0C

NOAA local forecast in text.

Saturday: Snow likely before noon, then rain and snow. High near 35. Wind chill values between 25 and 30. Calm wind becoming north 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.

Don't like the fact Upton issued a WSW for only part of the area but excluded most of us.

by **SoulSingMG** Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:05 pm

UPTON just lowered snow fall totals for alllllll of us. On my phone so I can't post map.

Doc, I like that thought you have about this storm possibly surprising.I have nothing but intuition of watching these snowstorms all these years, but this one is coming up from the Gulf to right near the benchmark.I know there is no cold high pressure up north, but this thing could really strengthen and cause more in the way of snow further west as well.Anyway, I think you Island guys have a good shot on this one.

Also right on the Thursday thought.Let's see the overnight models and what the morning brings.

Also, the Monday-Tuesday event is starting to look better according to NWS.

Happy days!!!!!!

LOL Lee goldberg said my town will see about 1 inch..whatever it is i'll enjoy it fall down usually but it sounds like one giant slop fest now

by **NjWeatherGuy** Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:45 pm

Bigtime mixing issues on the NAM after inital inch or two for just about everyone that sees any precip, common theme with todays runs, my expectations are pretty low atm i dont really like the look of this, thinking ceiling is maybe 4-5 inches for lucky people, 2-4 majority

by **SoulSingMG** Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:47 pm

For what it is or isn't worth, Eric Holthaus just tweeted an image of the GFS at hr 60 saying 'finally, a big snowstorm is brewing for East Coast...'

by **NjWeatherGuy** Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:51 pm

In CNJ 18z RGEM has 4" of snow and a centimeter of freezing rain, yikes.

I wonder how the ice will pan out with this system. Seems to be a big concern for Upton but my understanding is that Nor'easters aren't really the big producers of ice storms. It's either snow, sleet, or rain.

by **NjWeatherGuy** Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:54 pm

Maybe for the city, ive seen it get pretty nasty out here if the parameters come together, all depends on sfc temps.

by **algae888** Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:55 pm

on my cell phone so can't post maps but the 18z rgem looks really good. widespread 4 to 6 inches on the front end for the city in north New Jersey and then there's a lull or dry slot and then the next batch coming in after but its out of its range almost looks like it has too low pressure centers instead of one

GFS looks warm, strung out and horrible.

the 4k nam shows widespread 3 to 6 inch snow from southern New Jersey right through the city Long Island in Connecticut mostly with back end snows ccb. while it doesn't look like we'll get that big Godzilla types storm this one can still give us a nice moderate snow of about 6 inches for some parts of the area. I really like the rgem it has been pretty good this winter so far we shall see
edit: southern and central New Jersey get it mostly in the front end snow northern New Jersey Long Island Connecticut on the backend snows on the 4 km Nam

by **algae888** Thu Jan 22, 2015 5:14 pm

the short range and high res models are starting to pick up on a dry slot after the initial period of snow and then bringing precipitation back on the tail end of the storm that would be a mix changing to snow. the good thing about a dry slot if we get it it will limit the ice potential and help keep the snow around instead of being washed away by rain or freezing rain

by **rb924119** Thu Jan 22, 2015 5:32 pm

This dry slot is likely a result of the 850 hPa low being almost directly overhead

by **amugs** Thu Jan 22, 2015 5:51 pm

Reason why the mid level warm up is due to the LP over Hudson bay just sitting there and the counterclockwise flow that bring up a southerly flow at this level in the atmosphere - pretty strong LP so as stated we need a bomb at the Delmarva area if we all want snow at this juncture which is slim. Just a reason for why this bad boy turned among st other reasons.

by **jmanley32** Thu Jan 22, 2015 7:10 pm

18z GFS brings .1-.25 ice into our area Al. No good, and it brings barely any snow. Could be more of a damgerous storm in terms of travel than a fun snowstorm.
