Have you seen the latest SOI?

NORTH AND WEST IS SNOWING BABAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh if you're right as usual (minus the last storm ) then it will be VERY bittersweet for those of us on the coast...

Definitely Godzilla, possible roidzilla north and west!!!!

How much north and west?

Maps? Please

Sorry aha one sec

And that's based on the algorithm of p-type, which was all kinds of strange in my opinion. I think given the overall setup, where you see accumulations, add a bit more

Rb I saw an aweful lot of frz on the gfs. I think that may b a big issue with part of this as wasn't first run to show that. Is it possible it does snow down to the coast or pretty close? I mean 12z gfs was not far off! What a change waiting on gull cmc run.

I have, indeed. Yeah, the signs have been there, and I think the modeling may finally be starting to catch on.

That's why I said the p-types and associated accumulations didn't look right. In a setup like this, you're either rain or snow, very thin division between the two; again, in my opinion.

Agree no low-level cold air for freezing rain this is either snow or rain did you see the heavy pocket of snow in West Central New Jersey and West of Philly on the GFS if it comes down hard enough it can snow even with these marginal temperatures Dynamics at work by the way CMC a decent hit for Inland areas another tick or two and parts of the coast have to watch out

al the gfs was not far off from give us at least a mothrazilla. This would b such a better storm if it does turn out to b snow.

Looking at the 850 it's real close they are +1 or +2 at the coast below zero Celsius inland. Haven't looked at 925 yet but they would probably be a little warmer but if we can get the 850s beliw 0 Celsius with the Dynamics at play it could snow down to the coast we're really not far away. Models have been having a tough time with the Block in Eastern Canada it's an anomalous block so you figure they would don't count this one out yet

Of course I did ahaha CMC looks fantabulous at H5 but completely out sync with its jet. Strange.

700 hPa becomes critical in this event too, depending on how H5 behaves.

WOW 12z GFS. This looks like it's becoming an interior snowstorm. Coast may have to watch out if it trends colder. With a strong deepening low, dynamics could take over and change precip over to a pasty wet snow. Will have to watch, but North and West of I-287 is looking good. Hopefully the westward extent will be enough to allow me to cash in in Binghamton.

Anyway this can trend cold enough for the jersey shore to see snow or this is about as cold as it will get??

GFS has pretty much taken me out of the picture. CMC still looks decent though. Looks like I'm singing "O Canada"at least until the next run.

Jake this is going to be are hard but never say never with such a strong LP. You have an easterly fetch and a warm wedge - you will need this S and E bu about 100 IMO to get this one to bring teh goods to teh coast. AS JB explained in a write up once the winds shift to NE then you get in the game. He is harping on a N of I 80 about 25 miles west of NYC along I 80 - Morris County/Passaic County border snowfall with teh possibility of much more N&W and crusher in the Mountains.

Saying need the 850's and 925's to crash hard which is possible.

I do not know if the GFS is right looks wacky to me - CMC has been on this one for days now and now teh UKIE is on board as the CMC

Forget JB. I said this 2 days ago!!!

Yeah CMC has, but I don't like the look of it's jet. Gonna be interesting for this Euro run, that's for sure!!

And mugs, where'd you find the Ukie out that far? Accuweather doesn't have it yet.....

Well blow me over GEFS!!

I think the Euro is boutta show something cray. H5 looks sexy

Hour 84 ridge is cut off over Hudson Bay......oh boy
