Hoping for that 4:00 am post from Al.

"All the late night and 6Z runs have shifted significantly west.

WE ARE ALL IN THE GAME!!!!"

Hoping for it but not expecting it.

Anything is possible. I’m not getting my hopes up for anything as there is too much bust potential here, but I’m sticking with my map for now. I do note both Mt Holly and Upton are still warming of the danger of a 50 mike west shift - 24 hours out, so that shows they still think it’s at least possible.

Joe Cioffi still going with it being closer to the coast.. but watch and wait

Good luck to all in the east. I hate this storm. So much possibility according to the early models ended up for most of us a disappointment. However, My area (Passaic, Essex) really got damaged by the last storm. Lots of power outages and downed trees. A big storm would have been dangerous. Of course I would have taken it. I remember how winter began with models showing a potential triple phase in late December. Seems like its ending the same way!

You never know. There still is time for minor shift. Not saying it will happen but we’ve seen shifts in the past. Good luck Doc

OK my Friend Grselig!! You too.Ta least we will see some snow anyway.

I've seen snowstorms in the past where NOAA started us out with 1 to 3 and a last minute shift had them doing the mad hat dance raising the accumulations every 15 minutes.I always found that hilarious, like one of those acts on the old Ed Sullivan Show, the Flying Zambinis or something like them madly juggling plates on sticks,LOL.

Both increased snowfall amounts

12-km NAM actually decreased snow totals for NYC. The 3-km NAM techincally "increased" snow totals, but it's barely noticeable on the map.

Stick a fork in it...

It increased totals on LI and CT

Whoopdy-freakin' doo.

Mike is waiting for the next bad model run to again crush our optimism with a one sentence dose of reality.

Mike has gone to the Dark Side (more like the oppressively warm side of Florida) So here is Othelia's prediction. The Ides of April indeed. Fun times ahead.

Orange County Othelia, our local ground hog, saw her shadow today and succumbed to a heart ailment about an hour ago.

According to folklore up here, if the ground hog dies the same day as seeing her shadow there will be 10 more weeks of an apocalyptic like winter. Massive blizzards and cold through mid April.

Lets hope the old legend is true, it's the first time it will be tested.

That fact that we are now entering a relatively cool stretch does not surprise me. And frankly, I don't see it letting up for a while. The dreaded 40s and drizzle-like April is a realistic scenario.

Now that’s the cheery Mike we know and love.

by **Taffy** Mon Mar 12, 2018 4:52 pm

I don't say much in the group but I visit nearly everyday. Thanks so much for all you people do to inform and entertain.

I especially want to thank Jman for answering a met question for me and to Billg and CP for correcting me and making me feel better when I thought Frank had taken down the 75% and explaining to me what he meant.

I asked a few questions last year and oddly never got an answer so I really appreciated people taking the time and making the effort. It meant a lot.

I am being tutored by someone who runs an official weatherspotting station a few towns over so hopefully next year I will be able to actually participate a bit more.

Again, thanks everyone for a great if not snowy season.

Taffy

happens to me every time even in the same city but on the other side can get several more than me. East west north and south few miles cash in.

Jman you really do seem to be in a major screw zone in that area of Yonkers. I visit clients in that shopping center across the thruway from Stew Leonards in the offices there. It's still within Yonkers address but maybe 5 miles north of you and there's always a lot more snow there than you seem to get. It's weird how every area seems to have those. RB seems to be in one of those in his area of Dutchess.

Kid reads the forum all day when there's snow in the forecast. Then he texts me from school in class while I'm teaching and tells me to stop posting and do my job. lol!

He also rips on me for my maps and loves your zingers. Good kid
