12z GFS also ticked west but there is no phasing at all with the northern stream. I think the northern stream energy could bring some snow showers to us on Friday, hence the scroll.

Switched this from the other thread. It's more of a January observation than anything.

NYC is on track for it's warmest January ever with over 20 inches of snow. An interesting stat I picked up from someone on another site. This looks to be a lock.
Year     Snow   Avg Temp
2011....36.0"....29.7
1925....27.4"....28.4

Doesnt it show later phasing hence the 980s low that blows up east of New England and absorbtion of the GL low? I think its been trending towards earlier interaction showing a more amped and negatively tilted vort and now showing the phase occuring near our latitude. Too late for us yes but I dont think its out of the question for the trend to continue and earlier interaction to lead to a further south developing low possibly skirting NJ, NYC and LI (and SNE) similar to the last storm but an opposite situation in where instead of a further south slider its a late forming north storm where we want as early interaction as possible. May be grasping at straws here but I think its not out of the realm of possibility.

Holy the euro was close to a phase for us - just need the ridge to hold a bit more and the NJ to dive a little quicker and we could see a minor event for most of our board members. Still have what 24-36 hours left - jeez this woudl be a fricking coup again by the NW trend!!!  

IF it dives faster and phases earlier like by OBX or VA capes then it could be real interesting - weenie in my hoping for such of course

It would be nuts, even more so that the last if we got even a moderate storm with no one really calling for it at the last minute again.

Yep, another significant shift, this run brings precip into LI and damn close to the Jersey shore. Hour 43 18z NAM.

I meant there's no phase at our latitude. And there won't be. Snow showers at best.

I dont like to completely speak in definites. While I agree its unlikely a phase will occur at our latitude you cannot deny that most coastals this year have trended NW in the SR and the precip field for this system has shifted hundreds of miles in todays runs so I say keep a watchful eye on it. Most likely we'll get nothing and the Cape gets a scrape but we'll see if this trend continues because as of last night 0z all the precip was WELL offshore to the south and east of the New England coast entirely.

4K Nam bringing the goods into SNJ as a scraper and gives LI some snow.

This is going to trend NW they all have and I will take another .5" if we can squeeze it out somehow someway.

@ Frank no it doesn't true but the jump of 200 miles is impressive and it will jump more as we get closer, Jersey Coast and LI may see some action - heck any SNOW IS GOOD SNOW - never poo poo it - after living through the 70's and 80's you really come to appreciate this!

The northern energy coming across our area Friday is fairly potent. You can see the southern energy is well east to prevent a phase. This almost has the look of an inverted trough setup. We'll have to see if a narrow band of snow develops over the region on Friday. Places under this band may see a minor accumulation,

Speaking of INVT, looks like this model suggests CNJ could get a band of snow on Friday.

No way. That band is going to move about 50 miles NE of where this map shows it.
