I know people doubt the GFS but it has to be considered

Re: March 7th Godzilla: 1st Call Snow Map
Wow, not sure what to think but the 06z runs are disheartening here in westchester. NAM now introduces rain, GFS is basically all rain with 1-3 inches, Euro is great with about 12-14, 3km is way less amped but still about 12-14 and rgem is loco 24 inches. Soul I dunno this may not be looking good for us, not sure what to think. WSW says 6-12 with 10-15 over interior hudson valley and locally higher amounts possible. Guess I should not have gotten so excited over the 00z hi-res models, or even the regular NAM. Sigh I guess we will see what 12z says, are we going even further west to where the LP tracks over land?

Rb was saying he thinks more west. Warning now for up to 15 inches for dutchess county.

Re: March 7th Godzilla: 1st Call Snow Map
Not happy skins, as CP said Yonkers is about due but looks like this time we may again be the cutoff, WSW could be dropped if the GFS verified. Taht would be a kick to the face. No way am I writing this storm off it IS the 06z run but as I said its a bit disheartening to see the NAM trend west.@skinsfan1177 wrote:12z will be telling lets see if euro comes west or not

Jman it hasn't been very good up here where rb and I are this one looks to be decent but any more west we may mix as well.

Wow, a nail biter for sure for areas S and E.I've got elevation, 600 plus feet and more N and W but this westerly trend could even affect up here with mixing issues.Where that rain/snow line sets up early in the storm and it's movement, will tell the tale tomorrow in nowcast.Hoping for an area wide 6 to 12 event so everybody is on the board tomorrow with good news.

00z HRDPS, I still say there is a glimmer of hope for NYC area, but curious to see what the next run of this model shows as its in the same camp as the other 00z models

Re: March 7th Godzilla: 1st Call Snow Map
Like Bernie says, "windshield wiper with the models". Has anyone noticed with each run it shows a tucked in solution only to kick east the next run. EPS is locked in with the EURO. That's a good model to have this close to the event. GFS is a disaster. It has a lower resolution which makes the temp thermals too warm. I'm discarding it. People need to relax. With the block in place even if the low kisses Cape May County, pattern argues for a ENE track thereafter. That's my feeling anyways. 12z should be a hoot today regardless of the outcome.

Note no 4am Al posts from westchester, never a good sign. If he isn't posting that usually means its a no go. If your just busy Al my mistake. But I always wake waiting to read your posts.

Green: Mostly rain. Some change to snow possible at very end of storm but little if any accumulation.
Purple: Rain and Snow mixing in the early part of the storm. Will eventually go to all snow, but the early mixing issues will keep totals in check. 3-6"
Blue: Mostly snow. Some rain might mix right on border with pink but this is a solid snow event. 6-10"
Brown (was supposed to be orange :-/ ): All Snow and heavy at times. Jackpot zone. 10-15"

Re: March 7th Godzilla: 1st Call Snow Map
I don’t understand how we can be inside if 24 hours from the start time, and I have a couple of models showing me at 14-20” and a couple of others showing rain. Doesn’t make sense. How can there be such different outcomes.
The NWS having me for a warning already which they did early this morning while raising amounts gives me some confidence. No Scott and rb thinking west makes me worried

I must say though, all the models agree that N and W folks are safe. They’re gonna do real well. For us coastlines it’s rain or 18”

Re: March 7th Godzilla: 1st Call Snow Map
Having perused the 6z runs I’d say the consensus we are always looking for is almost there (maybe not as we’d all like it). NAM and GFS are pretty close in low placement. Surface and upper air temps are pretty close. As of 6z both want to hug the coast tight and work some warm air in close to the coast. GFS definitely is more bullish on pushing the r/s line further north and west and is still not a good look for the jersey shore and east of NYC (i.e. LI). NAM sees the issue but holds the line on snow a little better.
Right now I my thought is the Low will hug the coast. I think the NAM is closer on precip but gfs isn’t to be discounted. There will be mixing issues with snow/rain mid storm into NYC and central NJ (almost or maybe to my location) but once the low pulls alongside or just north it will go back to snow for most people. Since snow will be heavy most people who have mixing issues briefly will do just fine. I think LI, at least central LI east is in a bad spot for mixing with rain, but I think you may get a thump of snow at the end late Wed. Evening.

Re: March 7th Godzilla: 1st Call Snow Map
If this verified in the area just west of Albany NY it would be rough even up there. They received 30-40 inches from the Friday storm another 20-30 would be rough.

Re: March 7th Godzilla: 1st Call Snow Map
Here is my snow map. I will make a snow maps only thread so we can see everyone's snow maps in one spot. My map is based on a track as indicated. IF the track is shifted slightly N&W within my cone of uncertainty obviously the lines drawn shift accordingly. I still worry that E half of LI esp but the coastal plain in general will not have the best ratios with this storm such that despite heavy snow, accumulations still wont get to where they will just off the coastal plain. A shift to the track slight south and or east will obv bring higher totals into LI and eastern most sections as the soln would be colder. Bottom line it does appear everyone will get something. Start time will begin tonight around Midnight and get cranking as we approach daylight. My map says March 8th as well, but I doubt it lasts into Thursday which I originally thought it would.
You get what you get and you don't get upset.

Good call Scott. I think this storm ticks east at 12z so I would move the amounts SE about 25 miles.
