January 4th Snowstorm: 1st Call Snow Map

Hi-Res RGEM definitely coming in wetter this run. Better precip field

CMC is out to lunch. Low totals and I don't think west of Red Sox Suck is only going to get 4-5 inches, sorry.

Yeah, the CMC has the precip very light up north and it's a little warm with bad ratios out east lol

Definitely a nicer looking run. UKMET looks like it caved with a close 500 hPa low sitting about 100 miles or so due east of Hatteras.

It has 2.5 inches on Long island too with ratios. Thats laughable.

UK is a benchmark track.

tHIS IS ALL MESSING WITH ME BIG TIME LOL

Doesn't look it. Has like 0.1 for NYC

What RM said in his tweet is prolly true though "bigly" is NOT a word especially coming from such a educated person LOL

Yet it somehow manages to graze even the coast. I give up. I'm going to bed ahaha I can't take this abuse anymore tonight.

IM done, thanks for all your hard work guys, Frank I think your either close on pt or from what I am seeing now maybe even too high. But you know wayyyy more than I do so I hope that your possible thought to raise will be true, as of now theres nothing for upton, no wwa wsw so it seems like just another day to me.

I know!!!! But I'm saying the placement of the low was. The precipitation shield looked it was 150 miles east of the benchmark lol Absolutely maddening ahaha However, it is only one of two models so far tonight that has done this, and the fact that it closed H5 off east of Hatteras gives me hope.

GEFS are west with a considerable left lean. I read the system, though very strong, will not be loaded with much moisture to work with. I have no clue if that makes ANY sense but maybe that explains WTF we have a BOMB off the coast and can't get any ;!($&@ SNOW!

Then why are high res models such as Nam 3k and RGEM Hi Res showing sginificantly more precip? I really don't think anybody really knows how this is going to turn out.

Not sure if you know who J Manetta is but he knows his stuff. Here is one reason:

Crap. So the high-res are likely over-amped?

I don't know who J. Manetta is but thanks for the info. It will be very interesting to see how this evolves and which models do well.

I don't understand what's so difficult about this? NYC is getting light snow while points eastward get a bit heavier snow while eastern New England gets the heaviest snow. Next.

It's not that simple. Some hi-res models were showing more of a moderate event locally and it's still yet to be determined.

Euro gives western Suffolk 3 inches. Just too Far East no matter how you cut it

Been thinking 3-6 here in Deer Park all along. Still reluctant to think anymore. What a bummer.

Ryan Maue:

"So, maybe this Nor'easter will bury somebody after all in snowfall. We'll see what the EPS ensembles say about the "precip shield" westward shift -- and if it will keep shifting west. The bust-o-matic dial is starting to fidget."

GEFS actually looked really good for the area; better than the Op. Mean for all of NJ was 6"+ with ratios, and it had som bigger hitters back the mix. Good sign.
