Re: BLIZZARD JAN 26TH-27TH: OFFICIAL OBSERVATION THREAD

Can we assume anything based on current location of banding that the more significant bands will stay east over the island rather than northern NJ or NYC? Or not?

Nope they will come your way

Storm not taking the track we all thought as far as hitting NE jersey and nyc the way we thought? If the area doesn't get at least a foot this would be a bigger bust than it was a hype and I would look like a moron for calling out of work.

Hell yeah. I am hoping I surpass the 30" mark. Was at 29" with Nemo

You will. It's your winter.

I need another 90 minutes and I will know which model is right

Once 700 closes off, which I think it may already have done, looking at the Mesoscale-analysis wind barbs, we should start to see a rapid expansion of the precipitation shield from about I-81 eastward

NYC is going to get a foot, as will NE NJ.

Foot or foot+?

Most spots in NYC have 4 Queens has almost 5 or above now since Lee's reports. NYC seems to be on track with good numbers

what about southern Dutchess? Keep hearing that its coming but when?

by **skinsfan1177** Mon Jan 26, 2015 6:57 pm

Coastal nj looking good should see bands moving in soon. Got at least 4 inches already

by **bloc1357** Mon Jan 26, 2015 6:57 pm

Sh** is going to get real when these bands come across the island!!

I'm not answering backyard questions. You can go look at my snow map

by **HectorO** Mon Jan 26, 2015 6:59 pm

I think during a big storm we should all stay quiet. Storms get jinxed.

by **HectorO** Mon Jan 26, 2015 6:59 pm

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the snow bank.....

by **devsman** Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:01 pm

I think we shouldn't make solid set in stone prediction til storm develops. We had the maps, now we have our eyes and radar. Let's see what happens with the heavy bands approaching the island. Then we still have "the blizzard" part.

Only a foot in NYC?

someone from TWC is doing live reports from the port Jefferson train station throughout the storm. lol just wanted to throw it out to you

by **HectorO** Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:07 pm

As mentioned. Let's let it develop. See what happens. We all remember in the abc days back when predictions of inches would be far off. But there's plenty of winter left. I just work at a blue collar place and I'm gonna hear sh** tomorrow if it doesn't get going soon LOL.
