Re: Update #3: Final Snow/Ice Map, Fierce February Continues
With the tight gradient shifts on all your snow maps, it is hard for me to see exactly what I should be expecting from this storm. For the West Orange area do you think 2-3" and then some ice? Just trying to plan ahead and figure out if I should be expecting a snow day for my kids. Thanks for all your help and insight as always.

My parents are up in Ulster county NY heading down to the winery I told you about Doc for an afternoon feast. They are expecting 10 to 12" in Walden, NY which is about 8 miles west of Newburgh. My parents up in Olivebridge are forecast for 12 to 16". I'd say you are a lock for double digits Doc, assuming the precip actually moves in. The radar looks sparse right now.

How much total QPF does euro show for Hudson valley?

Don't know about the double digits,syo, the heavier snow looks like just north of me.CP and I are in the 4 to 8 area.Walden and your parents area are north of me and should be a lock for double digits.Maybe if this nowcast trends south, I'll have a longshot at double digits.
Yep, radar looks sparse right now.

Re: Update #3: Final Snow/Ice Map, Fierce February Continues
Today day wise is not going to produce much of anything until we get to tonight - that is when the precip actually moves in and goes into Mon night for my area on NNJ. A 15 miles jog south and Doc you are 8-12" and mainly stay snow which may happen.
This is a night mare forecast for all and Upton's WWA is playing it safe right now for areas N&W of the city. IF we get the ice accretion they are calling for then I they should not post ICE STORM WARNINGS FOR NNJ AND PART OF WESTCHESTER CO IMO

Re: Update #3: Final Snow/Ice Map, Fierce February Continues
mugs what a tight gradient. 2" for the Bronx and 8" for white plans. man that's less than 10 miles apart. still thinking after a period of fzr rain and sleet it's mostly snow from west. county line north.

Re: Update #3: Final Snow/Ice Map, Fierce February Continues
nws update
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT HAS BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY JUST SOUTH OF THE
TRI-STATE AREA. HIGHS HAVE LIKELY BEEN REACHED TODAY WITH TEMPS
HOLDING NEARLY STEADY OR SLOWLY FALLING THROUGH THE DAY WITH AN
E/NE FLOW. SIMILAR TO 24H AGO THERE ARE RADAR RETURN ACROSS
EASTERN PA WORKING EAST THAT COULD RESULT IN SOME LIGHT PCPN THIS
AFT. MOST OF THIS THOUGH SEEMS TO BE DRYING OUT BEFORE REACHING
THE GROUND BASED ON OBS.
WEAK LIFT FROM OVERRUNNING WILL BE FOCUSED PRIMARILY NORTH OF THE
AREA. THUS...ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TODAY. A WINTRY MIX OF
FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW...WITH SOME SLEET WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
PLAIN RAIN ALONG THE COAST AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLOWS OR STALLS
AND THE COLDER AIR DOES NOT YET FILTER TO LONG ISLAND.

Re: Update #3: Final Snow/Ice Map, Fierce February Continues
I just don't see the 2 ft they are saying near Boston. Look at the upper dynamics. Look at the 700MB. I do see an overriding event but 2 ft out of this system? I just don't see it. Can anyone maybe enlighten me?

Re: Update #3: Final Snow/Ice Map, Fierce February Continues
Rjb why why would u want .6 to .9 ice that would b terrible or was that a typo. Mugs I agree but Frank's said a ice storm warning unlikely as per his words nws doesn't believe in ice storms. It will probably have to be ongoing. I will say water dripping in front my building is form a sheet of ice so any frz will def be bad.

Re: Update #3: Final Snow/Ice Map, Fierce February Continues
I think this storm is going to be 1/2 of what the models say. The upper dynamics are not there. If someone can make me see something in the models that will support the 2 ft of max snowfall mets are predicting please let me know. I maybe can see upslope enhanced overriding precip to some degree up in the mountains Catskills, NW Mass, NW Conn into S VT , S NH, maybe 12 to 15 in max. .

I think they are including what has already fallen yesterday and last night. I'm not sure how much parts of New England have already received but add another 12, maybe as much as 18 with high ratios and that may get some parts to 2 ft. That's the only thing I can figure.

Well if inaccuwx is right I'm getting .39 ice total with 45 mph wind gusts. Where the heck are they get that much wind from? I hope their not right that's real bad news.

Re: Update #3: Final Snow/Ice Map, Fierce February Continues
It's amazing to me how dry the euro is compared to other models. I just can't believe it right now. I think the RGEM/UKIE/GFS are the right trio to go by. Heres 12z ukie snowmap
That's still showing 2-4 inches of snow for NYC, even though it may only accumulate on non road surfaces. At this point, there's no sense in changing my final call. I still think the lower ended of these ranges are attainable.
I'm sticking with this.

I'll admit I don't have time right now to look at current observations, such as water vapor and radar loops, so if anyone sees something with those that argue against the rgem/ukie I'll listen. I won't get back to my hotel room until 8pm. For now, I'm sticking with my call including the ice map.

Frank why did you remove the ice threat scroll from the top if your sticking with your call? I can just see my hill now oy, even a light glaze and cars will be going all over, in snow they cannot get up it. It is not that cold out here about 35 and been holding steady, that needs to drop quite a bit for frz. I am more interested in later this week and next week.

Radar beginning to explode to our north. Let's see how much this sinks south throughout the night.

Its better to stick with your original forecast. If you're wrong, you're wrong. Its the weather. Big deal.
