Who was the one having lunch? I think that was probably an intentional exaggeration to highlight he thought it still might be come NW

who gets 20 ?

Alot of my weather friends from Stony brook and Albany are heading down to AMS this weekend and they're all hoping for ice there to at least see some winter precip out of this huge storm. Pretty tragic situation for them if its all rain

From 3 to 34 here. Really looking forward to tomorrow's 50F

There is no model showing 6 inches of snow for nyc right now. Nothing. Zero. We can all appreciate your need to stay conservative, but we should also stay reasonable.

EPS 50% snowfall, this is an under utilized tool. Often when we see high snowfall means the 50% is much lower...indicating totals are skewed by outliers. That is a red flag that the high snowfall outcome is not necessarily the most likely outcome. In this case the 50% is higher than the mean, which is unusual, and a good sign.

Afternoon update Day 4 Outlook for snow.

Euro seems to look solid for the metros.

thanks i got an instagram page u can follow... @nycweathernow

Just to put it out there, the 18z HRRR is riding on the “slow Baja low” side of the guidance envelope

They issue winter storm watches when a cold win blows down there

On the road and can’t check anything on eps and ai ensembles? Does it show mixing like operational?

Wow I'm shocked to see Winter Storm Watch as far south as Houston (looks like for ice)...I don't see anything indicating they will get icing that far south. I know that far south it takes like 3 drops of frozen liquid but very odd

True worst case from 4 days out is almost always 0. A reasonably plausible low low end is probably in the range of 2-4". A baseline target would be 6".

Not in a mixing scenario. That happens all the time!

Central Park 3” everywhere else 1-2’ lol

New thread

SST's on the bay are already pretty cold from December, and depending on how cold the 1"+ QPF that falls on it is it should start icing up quicker than people would think

Pee Dee is a large area and .60 of ice taken verbatim will be an issue. Please do not take any of these clown maps seriously. There are many many factors that these maps don’t take into consideration.

Apart from amount discontinuities and insane totals, decent job on the graphics man

Right Probably something you'd see in like central Alaska lol

New thread ahead of 18z runs. A reminder: Keep banter to a bare minimum put at least some effort into explaining your thoughts If your posts keep disappearing, take note. Moderation will be much stricter, but not too restrictive.

nyc 0” dc 0” boston 0” philly 0” will adjust as we get closer

Eh it’s pretty rare LI especially Suffolk gets less than nyc. Banding usually sets up in Suffolk

Mixing signals the end of the main show, because once 700mb - 850mb rises above freezing, the WAA is over... lift has moved to our north. The duration before the main show ends has decreased over the past day or two. Mixing is associated with dryslot and a shorter duration of snow, which is why I'm concerned about it.
