wow, that second wave really bombs out on the GFS.  955 low west of Maine.  

Almost exactly 12 years ago, the models were showing nada til 48 hours out. I got 30 inches of snow. Just saying

Just now, Rjay said:

That ots run dropped a half foot on me. 

963 low just east of the benchmark at hr 198...  

Nope. GFS hour 9230 is like +17 AN!

EPS looks amazing with a strong WB -NAO as well as a nice -EPO that’ll provide the cold air and strong NS shortwaves

we’re going to have to be patient. not much has really changed, as most of the larger chances still likely come after the 15th. not to say that the 12th or so is shot, it’s just gravy compared to the latter half of the month
the blocking is happening, by the way. there’s way too much hemispheric support for it to fail at this point… it’s a common progression from Scandinavia that is also known to start with SE ridging! that’s how these regimes start. just have to let it play out

My hat blew off my head a few times already today. It’s a little breezy

I mean, I'll take a 2010-11 analog, even if the snows shut down at the end of January like that season did.  Give me a Boxing Day redux.  

I’ll take 50 and sunny the next 3 weeks while I deliver all your Christmas presents. I’m fine with mood flakes and an inch or two of snow after the 15th when all the cyber Monday stuff has long since been delivered. Let it rip and dump Boxing Day and beyond.

Got an 82 MPH wind gust during Sandy, which is the only time my weather station recorded a gust that was hurricane force.  

3.84 inches and counting for the storm total here on the south shore of Staten Island

I just turned on the heat. Really should have taken my air conditioner the other night too

.28 for the day so far. Storm total is 2.27 inches

.9 and counting with a steady rain going. .89 yesterday, will easily pass the 2 inch mark from the Ian remnants

Currently in Aruba, can report off and on tropical downpours and I’ve seen the occasional lightning. Light rain now with no wind, the party still goes on.

83 degrees with light rain showers from 98L down here in Aruba. I have a feeling I’ll see rain again from this system considering I’ll be back in NY in 48 hours

I’m in Aruba until Saturday afternoon. Expecting some impacts down here from 98L tomorrow night

To think I flew directly over DR 7 hours ago at 35,000 feet and it was a smooth ride. Was on an aisle seat so I didn’t exactly look out the window at the outer bands

there’s a whale in the water at long branch!  wooooow

Probably gonna push well into October for the first day I deliver the mail in long pants (forecast high below 65 degrees)

Lots of thunder by me, but only .08 in the rain bucket

77 degrees here in Flushing, the sun is trying to break through the overcast skies

It’s been raining for over an hour here now.

Just got caught in the middle of a long block, I’m soaked.

97/75.

Now excuse me while I chug a gallon of water and deliver 11 more blocks of mail out of my heat box mail truck

To think I almost got a car wash. Rain has commenced here near the Staten Island Mall
