Hey speak for yourself LOL

So ironic. My wife just said the exact opposite. It’s all about perspective isn’t it? Lol

If she thinks that of you, I can't imagine what she'd think of us.

By sunday early morning its a full fliged freezing rain ice storm for NYC area and parts of NJ and radar is showing very heavy precip, if the temps stay in the 20s like frank said then we have major trouble it will all accrue on everything. I snow from 5pm sat to 1am sunday before i start to see the sleet briefly then the frz which per franks snow map lasts until i guess 12 noon, if it doesnt change to plain rain thats going to be diastrous. here are 7am temps with the frz. so if what frank said is correct these frz totals may only hold to very cold surfaces like trees etc, roads may just stay wet and a bit slick. His scroll is right, this is so hard to pin down.

FWIW the icon is still great

Something to keep in mind, vort is onshore and being digets into the models now so well get better, much better model runs for the track over at 500. I still think we need to use hi results Sr models for the CAD, so said this today and I agree.
Watch another 50 mile shift SE? Would be great and not out of the realm? We shall see.
Tough storm and hopefully models trends moreally SE as NAM showed and ICON just did. AmazING JMA has not wavered from a Del Marva exit. Crazy with a stronger set up that is MECS city AeCS at the most.minimum.
Night tall and looking fwd to Al and rb and the other early bird posters here for good great posts showing a shift back to Tuesdays maps!

ICON snowfall.only rest well everyone long but fun Friday ahead!#

that's what I asked earlier..so will all of tonight's runs have the info?

Yup it's onshore and we'll get the data from it, so better model information and rus IMO. 0z through 12Z should be interesting and fun. 
Get some rest everyone. This site strategy of what maybe a long fun 45 day period

NAM shows me getting just under 3” of snow and .4” freezing rain. I’ll take that. It’ll be fun. Just no plain rain

Hearing RGEM is south.

0.4 is enough to take out a lot of power have fun. NAM has me getting closer to 0.5plus ice, but 3-6 snow, yes it'll be "FUN" if thats the way you wanna put it lol

RGEM only goes out 48 hrs on wxbell but it looks like the snow is coming in hot (well cold and south lol)!

Of course it is a serious topic by my lord Jim Cantore and TWC have gone wayyyy over the top. I am sorry but does anyone else find this hilariously rediculous? 90mph icicles!!!

It's fun until you lose power, then it loses all appeal.

Have you ever lost power for over a day, because if you haven't I'll let you in on a secret, IT SUCKS!!!!!

Anything more on Rgem?

He had to of during Sandy, I lost it for 7 days, longest ever was hurricane bob as a kid 11 days! What scres me being in the corsshairs of that ice is not losing power (it sucks yes but its the cold thats coming, with no power we wont have heat and as i had said before its already drafty like crazy in my apartment, and its not like we can fire up a generator for a heater or light a fire, living in a apartment can be far worse in this situation than a house where you have some other options. During Sandy was chilly enough and we were sitting ducks basically, couldnt wait to go back to work with lights and warmth. This would put that to shame with the sub zero temps coming after. So though I would be interested to live a ice storm the consequences are not going to be fun.

It’s a whole different ball game losing power in the winter though Jman. With temperatures expected below zero Sunday night and not above 10 on Monday losing power could be life threatening for some.

How often does the NWS update information for you guys? I swear it feels like NWS Binghamton does an update once every 12 hours.

Had no power for 13 days cause of Sandy. I’m not worried I have this

I knew you were gonna post that picture, I would say can we come stay with you if we lose power but driving aint happening. I am not cancelling my trip to CT for Sunday for fear of jinxing us getting anything but I have to by midnight sat or I get chanrged for the hotel, by then it will be snowing so its not like the storm can turn around lol

Time to load up on firewood, although I wish I had a wood burning stove over a fireplace, because the heat is better. I hope that many people have power next week or I will be losing out on a lot of money. I rather have no snow or moisture at all if it means losing power and losing money.

Oh my the Euro run is horrible

6Z 3K NAM. Surface temperatures NW of 95 never get out of 20s. A solid 6” snow and lots of ice. Might be in better range today so maybe icon has been on to something.

Yeah the freezing rain shifted way south of NYC now. The snow of 6 plus moved from up northern Hudson valley all way down to about 10 miles north of NYC but a ton of sleet for that in between area. Drastic shift south and east and 3km does try to pull off brief backend heavy snow.

jman, look at the temps on the 3k NAM for hr 51. The 850mb is above freezing, but the northern half of NJ has 2m temps below freezing. Isn't that the signature of freezing rain/ice?
