It’s showing the biggest dump of snow on the front end out of all the other global models. I’m skeptical but we’ll see. Verbatim, it has a plowable snowfall for Westchester, Bergen, Rockland on north and west. IMO it’s overdone
I’ve been thinking March too but Larry Cosgrove thinks it’s game over for winter by the start of March. He’s been dead wrong about the cold and snow all winter long, watch him be right about that lol
Don’t even bother looking at the NAM anymore it’s been absolutely horrible since November. That said, to me Wednesday morning is a quick inch or two then over to all rain
Certain weenie mets ran with it on social media and weather enthusiasts who don’t know any better fell for all the hype. IMO they are doing a disservice to meteorology and the weather community in general by wishcasting and spreading misinformation. It’s a group of 4 mets (Joe Bastardi, Mark Margavage, Henry Margusity and Tony Pann) who are really bad and have big followings on twitter. Their followers retweet and spread their voodoo far and wide
Larry Cosgrove says winter ends with the arrival of March in his new newsletter. Don’t know how it can end when it never even started. I guess he’s finally giving up after being wrong all winter
I’m kinda shocked Bernie Rayno isn’t doing videos on Wednesday. Usually he’s all over possible northeast snow events days in advance. I guess either he’s busy or unimpressed by it
The HREF is probably the closest to reality. Rain to snow setups generally underperform in our area. Also, a very marginal airmass and those 10:1 ratio maps are going to be grossly overdone
Besides the boundary layer being marginal, the Euro is torching the midlevels very very quickly on Wednesday on this run, way faster than any of its previous runs
^This! Especially with an Aleutian ridge/strong RNA setup. The models have been doing this for the last 3 months only to correct as we get closer. Same story with the SE ridge
That backend Monday on the Euro in Rockland and Westchester probably isn’t even real. It is showing sleet anyway as depicted. Don’t go by the 10:1 snow maps, they count sleet as snow
The Euro also cut back the front-end snow for Wednesday. Most likely….probably still enough for something measurable in NYC to not break the record, it looks minuscule but may be enough
