TWC makes me very humble today. In they end they were right Euro NAM was obviously wrong. GFS wins they called east and the city out from the beginning to end

by **docstox12** Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:05 am

There were no grey areas on this one, it was GFS vs the NAM/EURO and they picked the right one.I had mentioned yesterday an epic model battle would ensue and it sure did.

Yup you did doc...TWC surely did win.

Cuomo is talking..he's saying NY will be installing a highly sophisticated weather system to detect systems coming into the region....ouch NWS burn

He needs to stop talking

Gov cuomo just said he wants to make his own weather model lol

by **docstox12** Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:11 am

LOL, send Cuomo to this board and he'll realize we already have the most "sophisticated weather detection systems" and even they fail as we just saw.Typical CYA politician's statement.

Yeah, tell him to hang a handkerchief on his clothesline....If it moves a lot, it's windy, if it's wet, it's raining, if it's stiff, it's cold outside...

He'll be more accurate doing that.

Yeah, his hot air is contributing to global warming.

Its just amazing to me that with such a large storm, 50-100 miles can make such a huge difference

by **jmanley32** Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:40 am

I went to bed after frustration set in past my limit early this morning. So much lost sleep and for NOTHING but a regular 6 or so incher making my total probably around 8 inches, had this not been talked about the way it was I would never have been upset about 8 inches but here is why i am upset. My credibility at work is shot, when i go back tomorrow I am going to have to hear it all day its gonna be a miserable day of heckling. You all did what you do here and you did it well no one saw that sinking air area coming. I am seriously thinking about moving back to central CT where it is still snowing they must have 3-4 feet by now (no idea just guessing by all that insane banding last night I saw). And the worst is my job will never close again for any weather event no matter what my CEO is i know teeming at the seems and probably going to make us give up a days pay or work a weekend (plus now I have oneless day to meet my quota for the month which I am far from and I am off Thursday for medical reasons so I have to meet 12 clients in two days! How its impossible!), and even worse millions of dollars was lost in the NYC economy and spent on preparations for a laughable event, sorry just had to vent, and the governor, I honestly do not blame him for feeling the way he does, he made himself look dumb as hell to those that do not understand wx complexities like here. Will I continue to watch the weather ya sure, but my sleepless nights and such are over for now, I am not thinking about a snowstorm later this week 5 inches, that means i get .25 inches. It is just a bad place to be for good weather here, we miss the extreme on anything all year round, except rain which always overperforms. The exception was sandy and anyone could have done without her. Out, need to focus on school through May not the weather. I just have to ask one thing the wind was quiet as a duck all night but now its howling? What gives with that? Now I have to go out to clean off the cars in blistering cold which just adds insult to injury. Thanks to the big guns here for doing your best here its not your or any mets fault.

At least it's enough to make the kids happy and use the snow blower.

Hat tip to our Long Island friends, who always seem to get screwed one way or another. No mixing issues for them this time.

Hat tip to TWC, as much as I hate to say it, and the new GFS too. Both will need to do more of the same to gain the collective trust, and the NWS and others will have to work even harder to gain it back.

Big BIG thanks to all the very tired and haggard people here who did their very best.

Frank, mods, this is a great place you got here and you did a nice job through all of the ups and downs. Very tough forecast. Please keep doing what you're doing.

by **docstox12** Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:52 am

On reflection, this storm was a lot like NEMO with a lesser amount on LI but still pretty good.I remember the NAM had my area, Mahwah NJ with some insane snow totals which did happen but 50 miles east.Same thing with this storm.NAM modeled me for huge amounts but,again, it shifted 50 miles East.

NEMO II

by **docstox12** Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:58 am

Wouldn't be surprised to see a 30 inch report on LI when all is said and done.Bands just sitting there and refuse to move.

by **Dunnzoo** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:16 am

Looks like we have one storm for the new GFS. We will see what it brings with the rest of the precip coming down the pike. A learning curve for it for sure.

Doc was NEMO Feb 8, 2013? I checked my records and we received 16.5 inches in HV from that one. Not sure if that's NEMO though, stupid WC names.

A big shoutout to Frank and all the pro/ams on here! You guys did great as usual. It was a fun fews days! Now if you will excuse me I am going to go grab a spoon and start to shovel out of the great snor'easter of 2015!

Lol come on that was funny

by **jmanley32** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:20 am

Dunzoo I didnt think about that wow, uur right we were talking about how would we know if the new GFS is good, could we now have a model over the euro? But the consensus in CT RI and MA is multiple feet, my parents sent me pics the snow is above the white picket fence and covering part of first floor windows, im so jealous. Surprisingly with the height of winds no one really lost power another fail by power companies hiring in so many overtimers including a friend of mine who works for coned and is at normal work hrs now and blames me for being wrong, am I a met? Last time i checked no.

by **jmanley32** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:21 am

dea rabbitt, yes even got me to laugh at that one.

THE GREATEST BLIZZARD OF 2015 (see footnote)

Huge fail, proceed with caution in future forecasts, but njweatherforum is where its at if you had to choose anyone)

by **jmanley32** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:24 am

Nemo gave me 12 inches while my parents got 38 inches, and yet again looks from pics they got at least 25-30. I hate my life lol

February 2010, the city got 21 inches, the HV got 36 inches and your parents got 5 inches. It comes and goes and all evens out in the end, over 100 years anyway. Sometimes being east helps, sometimes it brings you rain.

by **snow247** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:37 am

Nemo gave me 8 inches, I'm not too far from you CP.

The last good storm I can remember here was the BDB.

by **jmanley32** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:38 am

So wait which storm was it that gave a band of central CT 38 inches? Your right i got 22 in Nemo I was thinking of a different storm, does anyone know which one i mtalking about?

by **billg315** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:39 am

Sometimes Mother Nature gives us the equivalent of what in hockey or football we might refer to as a "make-up" call. I remember a few winters ago when I was in South Jersey some of my friends in North Jersey complaining that they missed the brunt of two early season storms that buried Philly/SNJ, but were less dramatic north of I-195. Then a late February storm dumped on central/north Jersey. I think we may get our "make-up" call before this winter is over.

by **jmanley32** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:41 am

Feb 9th 2013, I just looked it up. I got a foot maybe, I was living through my friends skype in CT lol
