March 13th JUST Missed Nor'easter Observations

Simply put, it did not work out for us.
But before people begin to insinuate I "hyped" this event, do note that most areas will see accumulating snowfall whereas most TV outlets refused to forecast snow the end of last week. Also note New England will see a Godzilla - which means - our area was VERY close to being in these high totals if the phase between the northern and southern branches occurred just 6 hours quicker. Timing was JUST off for us.
Precipitation will break out after 8pm tonight. It could be a rain/snow mix before it changes to all snow after Midnight. Snow will come to an end in the mid-morning hours on Tuesday. Out on Long Island, it may snow through 12-1pm. Here is my snow map for this event:
There may be pockets of 3"+ of snow N&W of NYC.

Great job buddy. Nice map. Sucks we just missed out. I agree that our board and you specifically called this early while no one else said a word.
Nice map too. It agrees with mine pretty spot on. And as .ike the way you got me into the 6” line. Thanks.

My son pointed out this morning that the radar looks good along and west of the coast. Hopefully we get a surprise but I’m not feeling it

Just to give you an idea of just how close this is to a wide spread Godzilla at least....later this afternoon IF the northern energy were shifted just a smidge to the west, OR if the S energy was just a little faster and further East THEN the southern energy would have been out ahead of the N energy by just enough to dig into the back side and phase a touch earlier than what will happen. This would yield a result that would have the N energy enhance the system for us. Instead because of the positioning/relationship to one another the N energy will act to steer/deflect the LP center just far enough S&E before phasing leaving us out of the best banding. Just remember the peak of the storm is still over 17-20 hrs away so subtle shifts to track and timing of phasing could still mean subtle shifts to the heaviest snow axis. NAM and Euro overnight hinted at this earlier interaction.

We need a huge weenie band to set up over our area and sit for awhile to surprise us all. It’s happened before. If not I hope this northern energy is so early and east that it kicks the whole thing waaaaay OTS so you know where gets shafted too.

As it stands I stand to get a nice little event..possibly warning criteria..and you want to kick it east just so those who we need not mention get nothing? Come on Man!

What is the best website that will show this interaction (or lack thereof) as it happens in real time?

Syo wth? You are warning criteria area and a 15 mile tick west on this brings all of LI and teh edges of NYC to warning criteria - this is as I have said all along a hair off - like 4 hours if that for the phase that woudl have crushed us.
Frank great write up and snow map.
People around my neck of the woods saying it is over - I said it aint over yet we still have half a day before we see what is what. Models seem to be showing what NWS is saying - even the Euro which was way east came way west last night.
SO FRICKING CLOSE!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH the butterfly effect!!

Its like watching Judge hitting it to deep center field towards monument park only to see it caught up against the wall on the warning track.

It sounds like we want to see the phase happen earlier and with the storm further south if I am understanding correctly. Where are the models currently thinking the phase will happen, where would it be optimal for our area to take the hit (although I assume optimal is likely off the table) and where is it still reasonable to think that the phase could happen to get us in on more of the action?

3K has northern trough much sharper and interacting with S trough pulling energy back and closing off H5 S of our lat

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...
