And keep in mind that it's based on 10:1 ratio, I would multiply these amounts by 1.2. Maybe they should be higher, but to be conservative, I use the 12:1 ratio.

Will probably get called in sometime tommorrow. I'm hoping we get it

WITH ALL OF THESE POSITIVE N AND W TRENDS TONIGHT THE NWS AT UPTON.......................LOWERED MY EXPECTED TOTAL!!!

Upton's new map..... I don't get it

I guess they are discounting the RGEM. Doesn't make sense to me.

Aww come on wth nws...

0z RGEM with ratios

Its a conspiracy Two nights in a row!!

Wow. Some people moving this storm west and boosting totals, and the NWS seems to be lowering them. All less than 12 hours before the storm. Just throwing this out there (more a question than a suggestion): Could the NWS be buying into a westward shift, but thinking the duration will not be long enough to produce greater totals? In other words, is this "downplayed" map more about storm track or duration?

They seem to be disregarding the short range models and hugging the GFS. That's the only thing that can explain it.

I still don't understand why a WWA wouldn't be issued for NYC-east. They issued one for today and that was a dusting. This will lay down at least 2 inches+ yet no WWA? Why?

@aiannone wrote:0z RGEM with ratios

the totals over li aren't that diff than nyc and just nw. That doesn't make sense. I would think they would be more than a inch or 2. And just point it out who's the small bullseye over a foot near boston
Oh that's it. Lol

With all due respect to Upton, this was their snow map from "Juno" in January 2015:



Of course, I can't blame them for that, had the EURO from THE NIGHT BEFORE Juno verified, Bellerose would had had 30" of snow; I got 13".

As far as this goes, maybe they see virga being more of an issue with this storm. I remember from the February 5th-6th, 2010 snowstorm that just missed us, virga made its way up to Hartford, but the measureable snow stopped at the Verrazano and Goethals Bridges.

I don't see how that could be. Every future cast I've seen (Weather Channel, ABC 7, Fox 5) shows a 10-12 hour steady snowfall from the Shore straight up to NYC and over to LI. That said all, the NWS (and everyone else) has been calling this a quick hitter for 4 days now, so it might just be locked into that thinking.

For whatever reason, none of the the mets and outlets are buying the recent runs...they know more than me, so maybe for good reason...

Current weather in Atlanta: 31* with heavy freezing rain. That must be a disaster for that area. Freezing rain is a nightmare anywhere, but they really have no clue there how to deal with it.

wow it feels like snow outside.....26* rf 19* winds N/E @10 mph and humidity at 55%

Blizzard Warnings now up for the Cape & South Shore of Mass. Wonder if E. LI can get in on that action...
