Its clear you'll see blizzard conditions, but you know, the NWS has rules, and not everyone in your county might so they cant issue it.

by snowlover 12345 Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:38 pm

30+ MILES NORTH THIS RUN.

by snowlover 12345 Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:40 pm

Hearing its looking like the NAM just not so crazy high in QPF

by **snow247** Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:41 pm

by **snow247** Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:43 pm

Time for Upton to increase amounts for northern areas.

by **billg315** Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:44 pm

Well, the GFS finally caved almost completely to the NAM.

by Biggin23 Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:48 pm

Taking a while for the snow to get across the NJ state line, LOL

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:50 pm

GFS PUTS Orange County solidly in 12-16 area. I'd be a happy man. Not gonna get greedy.

by **RJB8525** Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:50 pm

Thanks for the maps snow, holding it down lol

by meeka312 Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:54 pm

by **Grselig** Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:54 pm

Wow. Jman u said this earlier but u r correct. A few days ago I was expecting a dusting. Now we are flirting with feet

by **SoulSingMG** Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:54 pm

What we have seen today re. models is ASTOUNDING and rivals Boxing Day. Blown away. Wouldn't be surprised if NYC gets a 20" storm

by **rb924119** Fri Jan 22, 2016 4:59 pm

Here's the current 500 hPa setup and my thoughts as to where the center (closed low) will form based on the wind field in the trough (in red).....

Still just WSWatch IN Orange County and that's for up to 6 inches max. NWS Is not convinced of northern trend yet cutoff is still very sharp so I can't say I blame them.
