1st Call Snow Map, March 4th-5th

EURO is holding and going to serve!!!

Sroc That was a nice right up for me Very clear and I understood all that you stated Thanks

I respect Bill but I do not see it - is he hugging the NAM here?? Look at this compilation of model runs at 12Z - red flag when GFS OP is south of GEFS !!

NYC
UKIE 8 PLUS
GEM  6 -8
GEFS 6 -8
RGEM 6-8
EURO 6-8

Ratio`s will be good NW so the gradient may not be as tight as we once thought .

Great turn around from bridge jumping yesterday and this AM .
And the weather channel says 1-3" for me in NNJ.

My administration asked me my opinion and said I heard it was giong to be nothing - that is wish casting on their part.

Cold air rushed in faster than the models can pick it up or it is shown on radar - ala 2002 xmass storm had me raining when it was puking ice and then snow in about 1/2hr timeframe.

Do not doubt the minds on this weather board

Euro 10:1 ratios - many surprises happen at night - usually for the good here!!

Euro way down on totals from 00z, all came south, unless last nights 00z included what fell last night.

Fred , I'm with you have no idea what to expect . This year seems like we have been in between storms either too far north or too far south

Is there a start and finish time for this? Would greatly appreciate it b/c I need to staff my snow removal crew.

Temperature looks to be an issue on every single one of these maps. When it is able to change from rain to snow will be key to how much we get. IMO, it looks like we're not getting more than 4" in NNJ. I-78 and north will be 2-4".

With ratios Jman: and last nights did include some of what fell

Now I do not think the hiogher ratios will be realized south of Staten Island and maybe the south shore of LI, but N and W of it should look at the second map for sure.

Okay so if Euro is right I could get a warning, especially if ratios are 15;1 and the changeover is not too long.

I feel, for some reason, you mentally need a winter storm warning to validate this storm.. It's snowing in March, take what you can get no matter what watch/warning/advisory you are in...

Not that, ok let me clarify, I am hoping for at least 6 inches, that would be a warning for me. If it goes to a advisory that means likely 2-4 maybe 3-5. So I will speak in totals instead of advisorys ok.

That map included ratios?

this isn't going to be a big deal except southern areas but Q your right take what you can get in March!

that looks nice but northern suburbs of city ratios 15:1, sroc mentioned north of SI? And how much of that is rain, like sroc said probably going to be hard to know exact totals because of when the changeover occurs right?

12z suite looks very nice, on EURO about on the 9" line imby, will take it in a heartbeat, GEFS good and so is UKIE/GGEM, NAM only bad run.

I'm literally on pins and needles right now waiting for manhattan to go from the blue WSW color to either purple (I'll cry) or pink (yippeeeee). It's just a matter of some sick WX validation; let me be.

The way this winter has been I am Black and Blue!!!!

I have a sinking suspicion that this is what we have coming to us...

Mean...but funny from a 17-year-old. Don't worry JMan he "yells" at me too.

Honestly, everyone needs to stop the imby questions. There are a LOT of variables with this storm, some good, some bad. We also have members from all over the place, so it is difficult to forecast in detail for all. You have a general idea where the accumulations stand, an inch here or there is not a big deal. Keep an eye on radar and temps in your area and let it play out. If there are significant changes to the current thoughts, updates will be made... but you need to relax and enjoy the fact that we have had a great backend to this winter after a slow start! Hoping for a decent amount for those who want it!

Warnings south of NYC (already in one), advisories north, NYC itself borderline, up to NWS discretion.

Yup, not gonna start this here, but I have too much going on to let a 17 year old get to me. I am allowed to want what I want and if it doesn't happen it doesn't and like soul said yeah maybe it is some kind of validation feeling I dunno, but who cares.
