  1. Light snow just commenced in Whitestone and immediately started sticking everywhere. Nothing like a cold powdery snow to start off a big storm.
  2. Agreed, the Nam had a NYC/L.I. jackpot with western NJ and Eastern PA getting much less just last night so it definitely hasn't been consistent. In any event, this is arguing over semantics. The bottom line is that every model shows a major to possibly historic snowstorm for just about all of us. Where the banding sets up with the highest totals/dry slot etc. will come down to nowcast.
  3. Same here. Took the dog out earlier and you can smell the snow coming. It felt quite a bit colder than last night too. Always a good feeling when you feel the chill before the snow.
  4. Getting the Rgem on board was big because it was an outlier in the opposite direction of the Nam. Now watch the goofus go to Bermuda or something like that just to screw with us.
  5. the 2' foot amounts are very unlikely but the city could easily see more than 12" depending on where the banding sets up of course. 8-12+ seems perfectly reasonable at this stage. As usual in these setups, it comes down to nowcasting.
  6. I gotta admit, these big north jumps have me a bit concerned for us at the coast. As I said earlier today, I don't feel like these north trends are done and I still don't think they're done. Another 50-75 mile jump north and it could be like the December storm again which was fine but had loads more potential than what transpired at the coast and nearby suburbs.
  7. 12z was a big jump north and definitely a noticeable shift north at 18z. Still a sharp cutoff north of the city but I don't think the north shifts are done yet.
  8. And remember the Euro is still trending. It was basically a whiff as recently as last night and has been trending north ever since. It could be a windshield wiper effect and trend back south but it seems like most models are making that usual north trend as we get closer to the event.
  9. News stations almost always go conservative to start then bump up or down closer to the event (or sometimes during the event). I wouldn't pay much attention to them.
  10. It took a big step back from what it was showing last night (maybe you were being sarcastic?). Really bad trends on the GFS and GEM. Add in the EURO missing south last night and this is trending towards a minor event.
  11. Some fatties coming down in Midtown. It looks like it should be out of here pretty quickly.
  12. The wind has been gusty all evening and been roaring the last few hours especially once the rain hit around an hour ago. Oh and Merry Christmas to everybody.
  13. Light to moderate snow, this has been a pleasant surprise. Must be approaching 10" in Whitestone. I might have to clean off the car for a third time but I really don't mind.
  14. That was interesting. I dug out my car around midnight thinking that most of the snow was done then woke up this morning to see another 3-4 inches accumulated and had to dig out my car again. The snow is a lot heavier than it was last night so it was like shovelling cement this time around and broke my shovel in the process. I got a really good workout at least. I would say we got around 8 inches in Whitestone, maybe more.
