does that ALLL have to come through the area before it ends so those 20+ totals will crash into coast too? All I care about is the bright reds and yellow over beantown haha!!!

I think there might be a lot of people surprised with this storm except for the people that come on this site because no one is really talking about this except the rain and wind part.

Lee has 1-3” for our area. 3-6” far NW

Lee could be to low on this will see.

Lee Goldberg going with 1-3 inches NYC and immediate suburbs with 3-6 inches in a line from I-287 north and west. He did say he's not very confident with forecast amounts though and could be adjusted upwards.

yes jon probably another 6 hours of snow. you can see the low is still strengthening and is starting to shift south. the snow map would look very similar to the nam

I mentioned a few days ago Christmas day in the early 2000s that's what this setup reminds me of well that was December 25th 2002 rained all day switched over to snow between 3 and 4 p.m. ended up with close to a foot in my backyard the pine trees look like they were ready to break one of my favorite storms of all time and my top analog for this storm very marginal temps to work with storm exploded just east of Long Island

Doesnt seem like much excitement in here right now

Yup, they'll all be back for the late evening runs.

We should play intermission music in the meantime.

ha ha...that thought ran thru my mind as well..

Or there should be other intermission entertainment like in a hockey game or halftime of a football game. Maybe frisbee dogs, or mites on ice, or a snowman shuffle.

Lol so many comedians on here. Half reason I come look is to get a good laugh from some the jokes u all post.

or a slide show of every euro fantasy snow map the past 5 yrs lol

Everybody get a drink or two in your system while it's quiet. It'll make great model runs that much more enjoyable or dull the pain of bad model runs. We all know the anticipation is building.

It is interesting to note how 12 hours ago all the tv/radio mets were calling this a rain only event and now they are working snow references into their forecasts. They're sort of slow-walking this toward the NAM solution (albeit maybe not the NAM snowfall totals which may be overdone).

I'm trying to follow along as much as I can lol my prediction for 00z suite is that we see 21z SREFs jump significantly to look like the NAM from today, but I think overall we won't see much change. Maybe a very subtle shift here or there, but I think we might be locking in. I do. Pattern supports this type of evolution, and I standby my initial thoughts for now keep up the great work gang!!

While we wait, Too bad this isn't already in the air, maybe for next winter
