No no no not yet. I’m a superstitious man.

I can see you're getting your work done

As I said before, likely advisory-level snowfall, but not warning. So, probably 2-5"-ish I think would be fair. I'm sticking with my initial call from three days ago where from the Mason-Dixon to I-78 is up to advisory-criteria snow, and north of I-78 is warning. No reason to stray from that at this time.

Great trends today with the 12z suite. Is it possible the good trends continue, i.e. jackpot snows in New York State move down into NY/NJ metro? What do we need to look for aloft for that to occur?

I was just going to lunch and I heard the forecast for Friday on a radio station that I will not name (but I will say the forecast was for NJ not NYC metro or LI). "Friday, rain with temps in the low-40s and gusty winds." That was it. Not a mention of snow. As I said last night, if things keep developing the way we think (and has now become the trend among most of the models) a lot of people are going to be caught off guard Friday.

These things don’t have any effect on me usually Scott, and I hate Oprah........but I literally just laughed out loud

If I can squeeze out 4-6” on LI I will consider this a historic win

I'm hoping you boys out on LI get some good snow out of this because I much prefer it when the whole board gets in the fun. That being said, thinking back to earlier this winter when some people on here were cashing in on one-foot plus snows while I was struggling to squeak out a few inches in my backyard, and with winter's end fast approaching, I'm taking an every man for himself approach. Get me my snow and I'll worry about everyone else later. lol (akin to the George Carlin bit about a plane crash . . . I want to be the first person safely off the plane, that way I can call for help for everyone else).

bernie is saying the Upper Level LP will pass through ACsh and the snow will come down from EPA through NNJ and fringe NYC as well as HV - he feels HV and EPA and NWNJ gets 6-8"" plus with areas just east getting 3-6 possibly plus - he likes th HI RES models and Euro for this in step with the UKie - thins the GFS will come around but is out of its box with its solutions aka GOOD FOR SHIT!!!!.

Mugs you feeling ok?  Those panels are HORRENDOUS

I'm feeling fine and you? Please stop for gods sake, they aren't HORRENDOUS -- those indies are fine for an ens that is struggling Let the pattern dictate the outcome. It doesn't need to show pink/purple all over to be a win - the pattern has been a torch so this is fine and will be when all is said and done come Friday night.


PS - we have swat, state police and sheriff dept here since 6:30AM as well as local PD's. There was a threat against a student so the attention - and an unplanned fire alarm to top it off during lunch.

I will take 6-8 plus Bernie is very good at these type of storms like the people on here!! I wonder when the so called experts will start to talk about the snow chances we may have because if we get that wind and 6-8 plus big trouble!!

Again the top analogs I am using are
Dec25th 2002 - remember
October 2? 2011 storms - but its March climo is colder

I gotta say, and excuse the banter-ish post though I feel it's pertinent to this storm as well, that the GFS is arguably the WORST model guidance we have. It's never right! It underperforms constantly with QPF, winds etc and I can't remember the last time it nailed a storm track. My favorite model? The NAM. In the past, I'd say 2 years, it's caught on to last-minute, BIG storm implications. I get tired of seeing METS live and die by the GooFuS. Anyway, rant over. This storm will be another loss for that model. Onto the 18z's!

EPS 12z TWO DAYS AGO:





12z Yesterday:






12z TODAY: Thats a trend

Soul - the GFS was persistent in bringing the 500 mb cut off low off the Delaware coast and strengthening it. I was just really looking at that.

Blending EURO and GFS and nothing else
Sorry dont buy this

Hurricane Hunters are being sent into the system tomorrow!

Mugs, that map is pretty much a non snow event everywhere!

Weather service in Albany has a flood watch for me with 1-2 inches of rain not buying the snow part, have they looked at the trends today or just sleeping? will see.

The individual who produced that map insisted that winter weather was over 2 weeks ago; that snow chances were gone. He is a stubborn man and in all likely hood bust hard if trends persist. I cant say it wont verify yet, but I would not bet on this map pretty much area wide.

New thread up for 18z/00z runs
