    Maybe it's just my novice eye, but I have trouble seeing where N&W of NYC can get a foot or more of snow with the center as far east as the Euro has it and it bombing out as late as it is.
  2. larrye
    You really think these Kuchera totals will verify N&W?
  3. larrye
    Exactly. People need to stop freaking out one way or the other. It's Tuesday and we're talking about a storm that is 72 hours off.
  4. larrye
    Same reasoning applies to the Euro.
  5. larrye
    Can anyone provide the technical difference between the Kuchera and the Euro actual snowfall total maps?

    Well now you're saying SECS. Yes, perhaps the 00z Euro today approached SECS, not sure about the other runs you referenced (looked to me like less). And I would still submit that this was not exactly a resounding consistency of runs on the Euro ... together with no validation at all from the GFS. And as you can tell, there are others who are more skilled than I who are commenting on the Upper air pattern who are saying it doesn't appear to be favorable. Look, have a party if you want. I'm not giving up yet, but far as I'm concerned ... I look at probabilities and for a higher probability at this point, I'd expect to see more consistency between runs and between models.

    So you see one Euro run at 00z that is a HECS with no validation from the GFS and you jump on the bandwagon? You don't consider consistency at all? Take a look back at the Euro runs over the past three days for the upcoming weekend. How many have a HECS? And I would even question whether the 00z today had one - it looks a little far east of the benchmark to me, but I could be wrong. Look, I'm not saying it can't happen. I'm just saying that at this point, it's silly to accuse people who are being realistic (and representing what the models are really saying up to now) as being negative. Is it something to watch and could it change? Yes.

    They're not doom and gloom. They're realistic. People love to wish for snow and are disappointed with reality. Right now, Both the GFS and the Euro are OTS and although the Euro has been closer, they both kinda have been for a while. Could that change? Sure. But up to now, they are OTS.

    Some Met named Mike Masco has been tweeting about CAD and saying that the models aren't picking it up.

    We get power hits here in Tarrytown all the time from heavy rain. They last typically a few seconds or at most a few hours. But they happen repeatedly. It's almost like there's a ConEd box somewhere that water leaks into.

    Thank you. So is PVC an upper level feature? Mid-level feature? Talking ridges and troughs makes me think upper level.

    vs. those who wishcast.

    They're not weenie posts. They're posts based on current radar observations and model pattern changes.

    A question on Thunderstorms in the greater NYC metro. I think I grasp the concept that T-Storms, when they approach the coast, often encounter marine air and lose their intensity. We also know that T-Storms normally lose their intensity later in the evening when daytime heating is lost. But this doesn't always hold true. Sometimes, T-Storms do not lose their intensity as they move from west to east closer to the Atlantic or Long Island Sound. And sometimes (albeit rarely), they do not lose their intensity diurnally. Can someone explain in both cases, why? What are the dynamics responsible for situations where T-Storms don't lose their intensity as they approach the coast or during the night? Thanks in advance.

    Any tropical system or storm of significance is going to create significant issues for the area going out for some number of miles from the center. There were models (and media) that were forecasting the center to make landfall anywhere from NYC to central Nassau to central Suffolk to Montauk. Hurricane basics: the top-right quadrant is the most dangerous. In this case, the further west the center WOULD have made landfall (theoretically), the more significant the issues would have been for the area in and east of the center, and the further west (theoretically) the issues would have been. I'm not sure that it's accurate to imply that whether the center would have made landfall on the south shore and where wouldn't really have made much of a difference. Especially if Henri had turned out to be a stronger storm.

    Usually overdoes QPF pretty consistently even within 48 hours from what I remember.

    Tarrytown. 7" with moderate snow/mixing at times with sleet.

    Forgive me ... but you're going to take a single 18Z run of the GFS for a storm that is easily a week+ out and say that it brings "fear into the eyes of the beholder"? If you look back far enough, you can find one model run where Gert was originally progged to ride up the east coast. Anything's possible, but I think you may be jumping the gun a bit.
