I'd be shocked if I ended up with 3-6 out of this mess. Pleasantly shocked though. I still can't wrap my ahead around this ending up with the heaviest snow in Northeastern Ohio. Maybe now I have seen it all.

2° this morning, sub zero tonight, snow to rain tomorrow night. You can't make this sh!t up.

2° this morning, expecting sub zero tonight and rain tomorrow night. Sometimes everything has to go right for it to snow. This is a textbook case of everything having to go wrong for it not to snow.

3 in Highalnd mills. Orange County.

Always Rob. Why look at models, most of which I don’t have access to, when I can read the tones of personal conversations and pretty much know what the models say. it works for me.

The last two hours of conversation, entertaining as it is, says it all regarding the 18Z runs. I don’t even have to look.

Yeah I agree. I'm looking more for 2-3 followed rather quickly by sleet, freezing rain, eventually rain and then hopefully a nice prolonged dry slot. If I end up with 6 inches of snow as the NWS map now has me for I will be shocked but pleased. I'd place the odds at 6 plus at 20% right now.

The same dynamics are everywhere. If you end up on the east side of the storm you get rain. BTW most Midwestern cities average less snow per season than NYC. Even Chicago only averages 7 inches more per season than NYC. Hardly worth moving for. I lived in Madison for several years. Cold and boring weather.

The three snowiest cities in the United States (Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo) are all in New York State. Unfortunately NYC is the last place in the state you want to be for snow.

What we really need is the voice of reason, "Roger Smith" to chime in again. So far his Tuesday call for 24-30 inches in the HV is looking solid.

A low of 6 but up to 12 already. I Really don’t know what to make of overnight model runs for Sunday-Monday. I may take a 24 hour break before even bothering to look again.

The high of 16 was impressive. The low which is my current reading of 7 not so much.

I thought once Roger Smith spoke it was game over. I already have my mind locked for the 30 inches he promised for the HV. He sounded so credible too. Say it ain’t so.

This would be our January 2016 revenge storm.

Walt is the man, of that there is no doubt. We in the northern part of the forum have a special place in our hearts for Walt. He actually recognizes that we exist, and that's all that we ask. I do get tired of seeing people here saying how bad a certain setup is for the forum, rain, mixing, etc, when that same setup is a paradise of white for those of us in the northwest, north and northeast part of the forum. When you cut us do we not bleed too? Yes I'm being melodramatic, this is the banter thread after all, but I digress back to the main point. Walt is the man and I read his analysis first anytime I come here.

Yeah same thoughts here. All this buildup and I had a morning low of 9° exactly 6 degrees below the normal low for the date. I realize it won't rise much so the high should be well below the average high of 35 but give me below0 before we start talking about cold like we haven't seen in several years. Ridic.

Tomorrow another map, a different scroo zone. Hopefully anyway.

Uncle is the 1917/18 daily max of 2 degrees the closest NYC has come to a Max of 0 or below since 1869?

The 4.0 inches we had compressed to 2.5 inches of solid mass. This will be a good base for hopefully more to come at the end of the week

32 now and roads much better. No power issues in highland Mills yet.

The Central Park total of 5.5 is at 7AM, logic says they surpassed at a minimum 6 inches? Of course since they won't measure again until 1:00 PM anything that fell after 7:00 am will be treated as if it disappeared into another dimension.

4.0 inches on the nose at 8:30 An over performer to the 2-3 I was expecting. I'll take it and run, and it looks great. Hopefully this is a jump start to bigger and better storms ahead, Would like to get below zero Tuesday and break this two year drought.

4.0 inches on the nose here in Highland Mills as of 8:20. 25° and snowing lightly. Probably about done here accumulation wise.

3.2 inches as of 7AM, 4 would be a huge win.

2.8 inches as of 6 am, so the 5-6 hour worked out well. I don't expect 6-7 am will be anywhere close to an additional inch. Envious of whats going on 50 miles to the south and east.
