Rgem is nice for all

RGEM held serve or got slightly better I think.

Rgem continues to look good

Seems like that could be another weenie spot based on the hi-res so far, maybe just E of Philly to Monmouth. There might be one there and on the N end of the steady snow shield which is where the mid level lift/fronto might be best.

“Getting RRFS’d” doesn’t have the same ring to it though…

RRFS is really nice

Anything over 48 hours starts to suck more with each passing hour. That's why I don't get why folks wish for these events.

It’s in pivotal. Having trouble uploading. Gets 2-3 to dc, 6 in PSU/Mappy land

Looked the same here. couldn’t get off our road for a couple days, no power for like 5 days

Freehold, NJ will be the jackpot spot.

Is the 00z out? I’ve only got 18z on WxBell, which wasn’t awesome, so it would be a good shift.

I'm wondering how long till the posts of winter cancelled, put a fork in it, maybe next year will be better, because of climate change, soon NYC will see no snow. Etc., etc., etc.. Blah blah blah. I say. If CP doesn't see more than 2" Saturday night. Then we get a few days, or even a week of a warm up. We will see those posts.

The RRFS is the NAM replacement? It’s…um pretty good lol

This is a nice synopsis of the 1998 ice event and the meteorology behind it. https://www.weather.gov/btv/25th-Anniversary-of-the-Devastating-1998-Ice-Storm-in-the-Northeast

So many food jokes today lol ends with the north fork winning the pie!

Wait, models could be wrong two weeks out?

Just going to stay in Ellicott city at my brothers since I work until late Saturday and early on sunday. Less travel, more snow. Win win

It would be pretty funny if after all the warm talk we end up with snow on Christmas.

Hey @IrishRob17 your boys at hudson valley weather ok? They have this “storm” hitting us tnite and out by tomorrow morning lol.

My dad told me a story growing up in late 1940s… Had an ice storm like that across Southern lower Michigan. This is long before the current kind of infrastructure or even highway system was nearly as evolved as it is now so probably lacks notoriety but anyway. He said that after about an inch and a half of accreted ice, it transitioned to snow and they had 8 inches on top. That’s something I’ve always wanted to see - a major on top a major

it does suck. Everyone has said it, but we need a region-wide 6-10” snow.

The craziest thing is that before 2020 I would have laughed at a statement like this. But after the near complete shutouts in 2020 and 2023, something like this could actually happen.

Just constant fringe jobs the past 5 years out here. It sucks..

For verification purposes later, here was the snow map that fell out of my forecast this afternoon. If I were to say there are two areas I'm most concerned about, it's potential for a locally higher amount in the secondary snowbelt or western Cleveland metro area (i.e. western Cuyahoga or Lorain, Medina, Summit, Portage or Trumbull) if banding settles into those areas Saturday night or Sunday...and also potential for the eastern lakeshore to again come in lower than forecast if banding doesn't settle over that area late Saturday afternoon/evening.
