Can’t go east again, I mean it can, but my interest will dwindle in a big way if it does

Seems like we have been doing this waffling run to run with coastals all winter.

Hold or tick west at 00z and I'll be intrigued....somewhat.

How you go from Harvey Leonard to that is beyond me....it's like when the 1997 Marlins ripped it down the next year after winning.

Worst met I have ever observed.

Most of the guidance gives this area (N ORH county) 4-8" right now. Hoping no rug pull wit this one

This one fizzled worse then a pin hole in a balloon.

I wish he was the one retiring.

He is awful.

Just looked at the 18z EPS and i have to say, I can't dislike this but we can't just keep flip flopping east then back west from run to run going forward, We need to see 0z start a trend back west some and continue it.

Euro drops a six-spot on me...I'd take that.

Looks like winter isnt over either after this weekend per the GFS. Models continue to trend colder next 2 weeks. Here's the March 3 system:

Hey all, for my climate near the ground class I would love if someone could remind me of the name of that one prominent frost hollow near Snowshoe I think.

They do it all the time. No jinx, even the weather Gods have learned to ignore it.

He's never met a storm he didnt like.

EWR: 43 / 34 (+3) NYC: 41 / 37 (+3)

This is the jinx equivalent of a tick east

42 today snowpack took a shellacking but still holding on. The next 3 days may do it in but there is hope to replenish it later sunday and into and through monday.

Typical NY Post

JB still favors a DC-BOS special but of course he liked the last week storm too....

Pure rippage. Airport is reporting 2.4” at 6pm but the NWS office measured 4.2” I’m eyeballing 3-4” imby under heavy snow.

wow decent uptrend on the 18z EPS

A few inches here in Brooklyn
