GFS is a big hit next weekend for the interior and close to being big for the interior sections of the subforum, would favor inland but this one could still get interesting -

Yes but as others have said yesterdays storm had a primary in Michigan, if the low tracks to the SE of us it can snow without artic air in January. -
Clearly marginal and a dynamics dependent storm, it depends on the dynamics, if it blows up and hits the area then it could snow, the setup isn't great but it's possible.

You don't need an artic high to snow in the middle of winter, we've seen places to our south and east get a snow event two weeks ago. You just to get lucky with a storm track here or there, overall most storms will track to our NW but it can still snow in a bad pattern especially in the middle of winter -

Yea especially at this time of the year, I agree I'd rather a more active pattern with a chance of snow and some moderation than having constant cold. The constant cold is good for a snowpack but beyond that it's not that enjoyable at least to me. -

Yea it depends where in the city but overall the city seems to generally do worse than all the regions around it. Yes parts of SI and parts of the Bronx are the ideal places in the city to get snow but overall the urban heating influence seems to limit accumulations in any kind of marginal events. -

The 6Z GFS is close to this depiction although the surface temps are warm at the immediate coast which appears to be limiting totals -

Dutchess County is nothing like adirondack park climo wise but it's also nothing like NYC. NYC is the absolute worst part in the state and really in the entire region for snow due to the ocean influence plus urban heating influence (places to the west and even in recent winters east of the city do better) -

I always thought anything outside of Uptons forecasting zone is not really considered the Metro Forum. Ulster and Dutchess are tricky geographically, certainly climo wise they are closer to Albany than NYC -

GFS looking colder and flatter so far for Saturday, interesting it's not trending toward the Euro Ends up similar to 18Z, started off colder but was also a little slower. I still think the signal on the GFS setup would be screaming front end thump but from what I've seen the Euro is not as favorable -

I am not sure why there is so much negativity, almost every model is showing the biggest snowfall of the season next weekend (yes it will change to rain but baby steps) and then after that they get cold. Not every storm will be snow for the coast of course but there are signs of it at least getting more interesting. -

It's in the 60s up to Albany, I don't think I've ever seen this level of warmth at night in January -

It's only been 1 winter and 1 month that has been awful after many good years in a row. At least in terms of referring to snowfall but personally I don't mind the warmth that much, I really care mainly about snow amounts rather than sustained cold (it's fairly rare to have a sustained snowpack at the coast anyway) -

GFS is wild for next weekend, storm starts out below freezing with 2-4 inches of snow (6+ for the northern suburbs) and then NYC/LI end up in the 50s. Then gets really cold behind the storm, this may be the pattern changer -

The primary is likely going near or to the lakes, the question is the secondary development, I agree I would lean this is a snow to rain event at best. -

HVSnowLover replied to Rtd208's topic in New York City Metro
My guess is that is at or close to its peak warmth given snowfall totals but yea you can definitely see from the snowfall map the gradient is right over the city. This will change many times anyway in the next week -

Yea thats a miracle, I would take what the 18Z GFS showed It's got a chance, if nothing else the high in place should allow for front end snow, if the blocking is strong enough to force redevelopment well to our south then it's a big storm, if not it's snow/ice to rain. -

Next weekends setup looks like the best chance for a front end thump we've had, of course it may get worse closer to the event -

There's definitely cold air around, this weekends storm is showing that, we are just a bit too far south to access it in this pattern. -

GFS keeps flirting with making this interesting up to NYC but I feel like it's a tease -

Yea in the old days I would've seen this weekend as a disaster but at this point I don't care if it's in the mid 60s in the middle of winter, I don't mind if it's comfortable out and it looks like we may not even get that much rain being on the southern edge of the precip field -

I know it won't matter for us but the weekend storm is pretty interesting to track from a weather perspective, the temperature contrast is insane from north to south and the icing could be really bad for some in CNE/NNE -

Ripping pretty good out, car tops are getting covered -

I haven';t followed that closely but GFS looks like it trended way SE with the storm for next weekend compared to previous runs NAM/GFS also both look NW with the mid week storm and is close to clipping the city with a few inches -

At this point my mentality is if it's not going to snow, may as well be warm, I don't mind the mild weather. The worst patterns to me are when it's cold but then storms track to the west and we warm and up and get rain.
