Unfortunately all the cold and snow provided the west with the records. No way it could have been colder in a year like this.
Think 97/98 tons of perfect benchmark tracks and all rain. We have a better air mass that that but it's that kind of year.
If we get those higher rates it can accumulate.
TWC Cantore said would not surprise him if NYC gets 1 to 2 inches from this. Not likely but WOULD NOT SURPRISE.
They MAY be able to get there IF the precip is heavy enough long enough (like the 3k shows), but yeah unlikely ATM.
How about BDR, I think they have a long way to go.
I hope we break the record so we can put it in the past (all records are made to be broken).
That being said, image looking back 20 yrs fro now and seeing the record was broken by just 0.5 inches LOL. Talk about small spread.
THIS needs to happen for this storm to produce 1 plus......
See how HEAVY precip changes to all snow. This happened during the thunder snow storm. This is a narrow band left over from the low pressure transfer. If this can stay stationary long enough can get accums.
Low probability but I like to think positive.
For storm 1, the precip does not come in heavy enough, long enough.
For storm 2, it looks like the storm will be too close. Still time but we need it to bomb out in the right spot. IF it does we can get buried. If not cold mix.
He's right though. I lived the 80s and tracked weather in the 90s and the past 5 years, where we had one above average snowfall season in 5 years, was normal. 2000 through 2018 spoiled us like the 1960s did back then.
