12z GEM has a 960 low south of Long Island. I can guarantee you if that verifies the Boston train will not be pulling into Grand Central on time, or perhaps ever.

The amount of damage that would do to Long Island beaches would take years to recover from.

whatever euro Ai shows momentarily will be my forecast for this system. I won't change it!

Live by the run, die by the run. Try to open yourself up to changes. We've got the entire week ahead of us.

That's a BIG storm. 

I wonder if there are analogs.

Excellent. We had this same problem with the last storm. Then it came too far north.

So this would be a once in a   lifetime event(s) 2 MECS so close together

If this storm hits the way it looks, this would be a HECS.

Not sure how you equate a storm forming to our south with a cutter?? 

I know this is 06z and I haven't seen the 12z EURO yet... but holy cow. 

EURO AI is a swing and a miss. But we've got time. I would rather not be in the bullseye this far out.

I've seen weaker hurricanes than this before. 963 is at least Cat 2.

Your'e going to get another 3-5" in the city proper.

From where?

Too early to score GFS for the coup against all the other models...

Weak coastal off hatteras,nc currently, the tug of war has started. This is where models start to waffle. Almost every model has the weak coastal just off the nj coast later. 

Imagine if this gets suppressed. 

Upton should have stuck to their guns instead of caving to the NAM.

Hpw can we track movement of sleet line?

I love this group. After about a week of debate about if it will snow, sleet, or suppress... we get snow. The largest snow of the year. And so do we want to go outside, enjoy the snow, maybe build a snowman or a snow castle... we track the sleet line. Like it's a predator hunting us. 

You guys are great.

I'll admit I was refreshing tropical tidbits and pivotal weather for the next frame on the EURO like a madman... but you guys got me beat.

Good luck to everyone who has to commute home from this mess today.

Snow is already falling.

06z NAM with an interesting change. Sleet line shifts back south after coming north, something unseen in the prior runs.

God bless computer models. I'm anxious to see the results. We'll know in 12 hours who was right and who was wrong.

They even use the classic weather channel elevator music. I could fall asleep to this.

Guys. It's snow. Come on. Let's stop arguing. If it snows, it snows. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Arguing about it won't change what actually happens. Either Noteast101 is right or he's wrong. I hope he's wrong. I hope we transfer over to a coastal and it blasts us. If it doesn't, it doesn't. The souffle will either rise or it won't. There's not a damn thing you can do about it.

I don't think NYC gets away from this without a foot of snow. I don't think we ever changeover to completely 100% sleet or freezing rain. Could we get some? Of course. But we still get snow with it. That's just my uneducated guess. When it snows, it snows HARD. All we need is six hours of 2 inches per hour.

Not to be too critical of the thread but the severe cold part should make the dates read 1/24 to 1/26.
