I want to extend my condolences as well @Joe4alb I lost my father a little over 10 years ago when he was only 57 so I can relate. Hopefully the snowstorm gives you some joy.
-
And the Forkfather has spoken again. Lets go west gents.
-
Oh I know, I was being somewhat facetious and I know how mentioning a storm name triggers everybody
-
Better than Juno?
-
Holy. This is oh so close to getting just about everybody on this forum completely in the game and it's still trending.
-
It "Shirley" is
-
Patiently waiting for the 0z runs...
-
Lots of westward lean on the GEFS. We really needed to see a favourable shift with the GFS and we got it even if it's not quite there yet.
-
Well, some definite improvements on this GFS run in terms of the precip being more robust on the western flank but the low takes a sizeable jump northeast from 48-54 hours unlike the other models which are slower east of L.I. I don't know if that was low movement or if it chased the convection.
-
We need a pretty significant move west by the GFS to line up with the Nam and Rgem solutions. If not, I don't know what to think.
-
This is getting a very "Juno" feel to it with a sharper cutoff north and west.
-
Lots of misses/scrapers on this set even for Eastern New England.
-
So on the EPS (for the immediate NYC area), I see 9 scrapers, 13 hits and 3 whiffs. Jeez, thanks for clearing that up for us Euro.
-
Boston gets crushed on this run. Again, just not quite enough for the major snows west of Suffolk but it's annoyingly close to something bigger for a lot of us near the coast.
-
It might be close but there's a consensus forming that this is a storm for far eastern sections, the major snows I mean. Nothing is locked in yet but the models do seem to be honing in on a solution and time is running out, the GFS and Euro are closer than they've ever been the last few runs. A lot of the others are ticking east as well.
-
Nothing but when the potential for more, a lot more, is so close people are going to naturally be disappointed with a lesser outcome. Anyway, this is entering banter territory so I'll put a lid on it.
-
The "Big" snow idea is diminishing. I think 4-8 is a reasonable call for western L.I. on westward. The 12+ inch possibility seems to be waning more and more with every set of runs. A little disappointing considering the potential of this storm but this was always a thread the needle event so we take what we can get.
-
Time is starting to run out. The big snow idea for those west of Suffolk is starting to diminish IMO.
-
Yeah but the Euro is trending away from the major storm idea outside of eastern sections. Neither have been trending well.
-
That's the problem. Canadian/UK on your side vs. Euro/GFS is not where you want to be this close to the event. Need some fairly significant changes by 12z with the major models (the GFS in particular) or else this is starting to look more significant than major for a lot of us.
-
The Nam is largely irrelevant at this stage. The GFS is still pretty far off for the real significant snows outside of eastern sections and the Euro has been trending a bit east the last few runs, need that to stop. Without those two on board, it's hard to imagine much more than a 4-8 inch type deal for the city on west.
-
It looks pretty good on the hi resolution maps, crushed Eastern L.I. and Southeast New England which gets annihilated. Wouldn't take much of a tick west to get a lot of us in the game for the bigger totals.
-
That's a good point. The GFS does tend to struggle with coastals but still, I'd really like to see it start trending in the right direction.
-
No it's not? I'm confused. I said the GFS wants nothing to do with the threat and you said "No, it's not". Really odd since every other model trended west tonight but the GFS is a pretty major model that you wanted making favorable trends in order to increase confidence of a big hit and we haven't seen it yet. The Ukie coming way west is big though, could bode well for the Euro run.
-
It's hard to get on board with this threat with the GFS wanting nothing to do with it.
