December 1st-3rd 2019 Winter Storm Potential

The ECMWF OP continues to put me in Albany near the jackpot zone:

Wow index up to 75% from 15% that's a big jump Frank in 1 day. Especially when u stated yesterday morning things were not looking great. I'll take 7 8 inches is what euro shows for southern Westchester nam shows more. If it wasn't beginning on dec I'd feel hopped but can expect coastal plain to do as well as inland.

This is getting exciting I wonder if the city and Long Island will go under winter storm watch anytime soon

Man the forecasted snow amounts in some of these watches being issued by the NWS are high IMO. Rain and sleet will keep accumulations down. Especially in the city and points south. Ill review everything in more detail later.

I see ice being a threat on the front end. Maybe an inch of snow on front end as the 700 MB temps are going to be torchy. It'll be a mod/heavy and then start mixing. The bigger snows are only possible for most if the coastal develops lower latitude, intensifies and slows down. Other than that don't see much more than 1" IMBY.

So far they they have me for 1 to 3 inches of snow

Wwa for 8 to 12 in Westchester. Idk about that

From Upton: Winter Storm Watches in blue, which means they’re leaning toward advisory level impacts in the tan areas (at the moment anyway)...

If I end up with 3 to 5 inches worth of snow I’ll be very happy I know it doesn’t seem a lot tomorrow I am putting my Christmas decorations up at least it will feel Christmas is coming

Just popped in to see what is going on...I am glad my "she shed" is finally coming tom! Our 4 to 6 week turn around time turned into 8...I know we probably won't get much on the coast here..but I can sit in my empty shed and watch whatever falls fall!! come on snow...

I did that today! I put up my outside lights, so now when it snows, I’m ready and it will feel like Christmas.

It a hazardous weather outlook statement - just gives a heads up writing of what days 2-7 could incur weather wise.
UPTON is like molasses to pull teh trigger due to NYC. They are ultra conservative on putting up any watches or warning for that matter until all NWS stations have done so hours before.

AND the GOOFUS FIBNALLY CAVES !!! Madonne this model can be so stubborn at times even with its new platform! For weenie eye candy

Happy Thanksgiving Joanne, it stands for Hazardous Weather Outlook, should be changing by tonight or tomorrow[/quote]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Janet! Thank you!! I do hope we get in the action down here!! Have a great night
