Can anyone talk about the evolution of that double barreled low and how it eventually looked and acted in actuality, I mean we were talking about it late last night and it did appear to consolidate.
As modeled when ? Are we talking 4 days ago or 3 days ago or 2 days ago ? or as modeled yesterday ? I mean just 24 hours ago as modeled meant one thing in the morning and something else in the later hours and it meant something else depending if you looked at the models 24 or then 48 hours earlier. The GFS had this Storm East and even yesterday ( less than 24 hours before game time the GFS swung closer to the Euro and the Nam and the others only to swing back the other way later in the day. IMO,,,As modeled does not hold as much weight as advertised by you or anyone else
I will take 3-5 but I won't lie I'm greedy lol. My local weather service updated after 3 am they are saying 4-8,,,,,,,hopefully thats conservative and we get more but beggars cant be,,,,,,,,
that makes 4 amateur eyes if you include me,,,,,,watching the radar and reading so many people on here and on social media talking about how they are getting buried as I type is painful to watch and read but at least I didn't get shut out up here in Rockland as "some" predicted
Hard to gauge what we have here as it definitely was higher on my wood deck,,,and it is windy,,but i'm going with a guesstimate of 2 inches on the ground here in New City Rockland County.
THIS was issued for my area in Rockland County 40 minutes ago =
