There will be a SE trend tonight on 0z. Why you ask?I walked out of work and a shooting star went right over my head. I wished for it. Simple enough, old fashioned way.

Just got through watching every weather report from Different stations this is what they came up with
Lonnie Quinn and yes his sleeves Were up .for the city 5 to 10 inches of snow
Janice 8 to 12
Nick Gregory 6 to 10
Lee Goldberg 6 to 12

I'm like on the northern side of the red but kinda in it so I'll be on edge. I like epawa map 10 to 15 plus. I'll take it any day. We can't be expecting 20 to 24 not near coast but as Al said 10 to 15 for this area is not common and a good storm.

those all seem low especially if we see any south move tonight. The lower end I mean. A foot seems likely city north.

This is not a drill, the Hurricane Hunters are flying through the Gulf right now! Airplane

They are collecting data that will help the models hopefully nail the track of tomorrow's nor'easter!

Just saw an interesting discussion of this on TWC. They noted how, unlike in a Hurricane, they aren't flying into the storm (now over the Plains) but are flying over the Gulf of Mexico to get data from over the water there that they usually wouldn't get into the models.

EURO takes the LP into Point Pleasant. But do to its weakness the HP is so strong it fights it off and keeps everyone above I 78 as snow and it lasts for about 2 hours then as the LP goes ENE it flip back to snow. Interesting solution.

@WeatherBob wrote:I have a question , doesn’t, it seem that the models are not picking up the cold air damning down the east side of the of the Appalachian Mtns? I know this isn’t, a classic set up but it just looks strange on these models. 1038 high not moving to fast north of Maine and cold dry dense air now plunging south. Rb? Frank?

So, this is kind of a two-part answer. First, the high is retreating, not attacking. This makes a difference in the depth and effectiveness of the low-level cold transport, as attacking highs have more “oomph” with them. Think of momentum. Where are the worst winds/surge in a hurricane? Typically the southeastern quadrant because you have the actual wind speed combined with the forward momentum of the storm itself. Contrarily, the least surge/wind are on the northwestern side for the opposite reasons (wind against storm motion). Same idea with here with an attacking high, where the cold push is aided by the momentum of the incoming high, versus a retreating high where the cold push has to fight the momentum of the departing high.

Secondly, the lower- and mid-level lows are tracking basically over or even north/west of our area, which helps maximize warm air advection aloft. So even though you may be below freezing at the surface, you may be hitting 33-34° somewhere above you, thereby changing your observed precipitation type. These warm surges aloft are almost ALWAYS under-modeled, especially in situations where warmth is “favored”, like this one is.

Good evening guys, I haven’t posted for a while but do check in every now and then. So we moved a couple of months ago from Cranford to Atlantic Highlands, how are we looking down this way. If I read it correctly, it looks like we could get a lot of mixing but around 6” or are we pretty much torched here

by **SoulSingMG** Tue Dec 15, 2020 9:17 pm

00z NAM keeps the faith, and even improved from 18z. 8-12” thump in the city before some sleet mixing in. Westchester gets pounded.

0Z GFS was solid. 850/700 mb lows pass around NYC. Much better for thermals. Someone is probably getting dry slotted tomorrow due the track of the lows.

We were just looking at that dry slot possibility on the GFS on the chat. Unfortunately on the 0z GFS it's in my neck of the woods (probably from about Bucks County PA into Hunterdon County NJ. Not that this will necessarily be exactly where it ends up, but it would be my luck.
