I had to call King Kong were chasing Godzillas! So ready for this storm.

Ohhh...I like King Kong. Maybe that becomes the new name for 36"+ storms because Frankzilla ain't doing it for me. But King Kong does...

I'll leave it to the members to decide

My vote= Yes. Kong!!!

Significant shift SE on the EURO, and much more in line with my overall thoughts.

Frank, can you put the euro 500 mb map at 00z?

I remember the 96 storm.  I was living in midtown and had to walk to my office on 23rd in the morning.  Lexington Avenue had not been plowed and there was literally two feet of snow.  It was a mess for days afterward.  The melting snow caused street corners to become lakes, which froze and it was treacherous walking.  There was actually one worse than that around 1993.  The snow wasn't as bad, but it was during a sanitation department strike, so garbage was not being collected.  The Manhattan sidewalks became narrow alleys of ankle deep disgusting muck.  Memories...

This run crushes Long Island. If this holds true, do we even mix??

someone said CP 30" if that means central park Dibasio better say all schools closed...

is this good news for my area? Bringing it a bit further south? Do you still think amounts are right on SR models or just placement? I'm guessing a shift we means NYC is in heart of it. You know it. That's why my avatar is a actual weather weenie lol. Thpugh I wanna change it. To what do you vote?

Not in the best place but close enough. I still think I see more than 12 to 14 as shown by euro but who knows. It's go be a now cast.

Here is 12z valid for 18z with a trend to show difference vs prior run. Heights along the coast notably lower

I hate to ask is that good news or bad news

cuts us out of 18 inches but imo there's def hope. Euro isn't end all be all.

Everything is relative to where you live. Good news in the sense it matches my thoughts on where the storm will ultimately track. I don't think there is any bad news. We're all getting a Godzilla. I don't think anyone outside of members down in south Jersey and extreme eastern LI.

Not in best place? HUH??? You are jackpot chasing. Also, just because the EURO has the right track doesn't mean it's correct with its depiction of the precip. It may be underdone with QPF.

well smack me up Frank lol. To me it says on euro 12 closest to me but ur right qpf isn't your point. My bad and I knew that spoke put of haste. I'll try not do that next 48 hrs lol

3K

Nobody get too crazy with the models at this point. The snow is already falling, wheels are in motion. Wait for Frank's final call map at 2 p.m. and then it is time to start watching the radar and the real-time observations to see how the storm is developing in real-time. Ultimately that's when you'll know where the jackpot is, and not a minute sooner. lol.

I like that 2.31 literally on my house!  So let me get this right. QPF number that either 10 or 12 for a range of overall snowfall?  Yes?  So about 23-28 inches? Just confirming what QPF means/ is?

I will day this it's freaking cold. Do you Frank think this cold holds with the dynamics and in response ratios ate higher or will it still warm up. According to car it's 25 but I always shave about 2 degrees off so bout 23. That would set allow for increased ratios.

Jman you probably end up with 8-12 like the pro Mets are forecasting

Frank would you say that the Euro, GFS and NAM have the same basic Synoptiic features? You have to disregard the QPF outputs on a small scale basis but I think all the models have the same basic idea now

doubt it lol I know u jabbing me. Nws has me at 14 to 18 last I checked. Not going by the news. They are way off. For entire area. Nws is pretty spot on as is TWC!! I am concerned about one thing for real. Yonkers has done 0 to prep the roads I've seen no plows. I know been budget cuts but we cannot afford a November what 2018 2019?

Jman not jabbing my friend, just seems it’s all a Roller coaster ride but just being cautious and trying to understand why these pros are so low with their totals ? Don’t they study models like all the great people on this forum who know what they are seeing ?

yes but they won't up the totals till last second. They don't want to freak people out. But I am at grocery store and that has already ensued so it's time to pull the gun. And the blizzard warnings. No it will most def be atea wide 12+ with some insane Godzilla totals in places not known until it's on us. Just gotta track. Now cast.
