Evidently, we need to talk about Feb 15 a bit more? 12z GFS...

You guys are brutal

It’s cloudy almost every day here. I actually think the eastern shore and central Va are underrated. They get less of the stratus decks caused by the Great Lakes and mountains, and they seem to get more snow now lol. Current satellite loop really shows the difference between i95 east and west.

Nah

the city of white plains just brined our streets heavily just sayin'

It’s the Washington wizards of weather. If you are a fan you keep watching because they add something and call it improved but it’s last in the league from 3 point range

im enjoying the AI vs OP battle to be honest.

South County! I'm about 10 minutes away from their amazing brewery and restaurant.

Well…there’s that. .

They seem fairly split on the midnight action but either way I tend to think that opening batch may appear more as virga and serve to overcome the dry dews, setting the table for a quick morning slug. That's my thoughts anyway. Oh, and the only model that truly matters, that being the RAP (no sarcasm detected), shows a nice morning hit. #RapForTheWin

No Ukie posts, I’m sure it blows

Canadian has it as well about a day later

GFS/CMC suite stubbornly hanging on to Sunday from 95 S and E. Would only be a c-2" but still... As I said before, I'm happy with any white. I think there's a solid chance at a c-2" tonight/tomorrow from 95 N and W too. Some years it just wants to snow...

12z GEFS consolidated a bit and is east of its 06z position. For now, I'm still ignoring AI.

Great through 5 minutes.

I find it a little funny how much we bash the gfs and then are hyper focused on every run 150+ hours out.

@ineedsnowHow did the srefs look?

They're hiding from the razor-sharp gradient and attendant Hadley Cell.

Great question! Probably some Laughing Cow cheese.

Maybe it was Master of Disaster My memory isn't what it used to be in my youth

Sorry but I have dinosaur bones under the ground here. EXPLAIN THAT

The 12z guidance has moved into strong agreement concerning the QPF for tomorrow's light precipitation event with only the UKMET and ECMWF left to initialize. The NAM is a notable dry outlier for New York City (0.01"). The RRFS A, the NAM's successor model, has 0.20" QPF. With the NAM doing NAM things in the face of strong agreement among the other guidance, the idea that New York City will see little or no precipitation is discounted. Snowfall amounts in New York City will still be limited: Readings will likely be above freezing for most or all of the event. Readings will generally range from 33°-34° during the event. QPF will be on the light side (probably 0.15"-0.25"). The 15z NBM has 0.20". Most of the 12z guidance is just under 0.20". Precipitation rates in the City will likely be less than 0.05" per hour except for a brief period. Measurable snow is likely in Central Park. There's strong agreement among the individual EPS members for this outcome. All of the 12z guidance, except for the NAM, shows measurable snow. All said, snow showers or a period of snow remains likely tomorrow. A coating to an inch of snow is likely in and around New York City. The distant northern and western suburbs could see 1"-2" of snow due to slightly higher QPF, precipitation rates, and slightly colder temperatures. Sunday still bears some watching, as uncertainty is somewhat greater than it is for tomorrow. The Canadian suite (GGEM-RGEM) continue to bring a light measurable snowfall to New York City and its adjacent suburbs. The earlier runs of the ECMWF keep the snows farther east. As the GGEM is consistently the #2 rated model, it's solution is plausible. There was very little support for accumulating snowfall in New York City among the 1/16 0z EPS members. Therefore, at least for now, a miss to the east still remains more likely than not. Under that baseline scenario, there would be some accumulating snow in eastern Long Island into southeastern New England. Snow flurries and/or snow showers would be possible farther west, including in the New York City area.

It’s waffling from run to run. I’m more interested in what’s getting tee’d up for next weekend. Looks like maybe some stj action?

I spent $1500 on a new snowblower based on earlier guidance. I’ve used it maybe 3-4 times total.

Don't forget that the Fossil Fuel is peer reviewed...there is literature on this so this is fact-sorry, it just is, and that is not debatable-
