NEG NAO

a low is showing up near hatteras ????

What's up with Upton - the forecast says little or no snow accumulation for NYC BUT the discussion says chances of accumulating snow are increasing ? ZFP from KOKX

yes and when is the last time we had 2 Winter Storm threads active at the same time ? As for this late week event only thing that I have high confidence in today is the precip shield will not miss to the south - still low confidence in precip types region wide and amounts.........

You can read all about it here starting with this thread from 15 years ago

yes and since its multiple models trending that way and its only 5 days away chances are good we will have at least some sort of frozen event - still way too early for details..........

agreed and its only 5 days away....

The problem with the Euro is that HP in Canada is not holding in place compared to the GFS - the LP is allowed to move further north

IF's And's or But's -all involving where that HP is in southeast Canada and the strength of it throughout the event- pattern is changing back into a colder one along with more blocking developing

seriously - this official chart contains those inaccurate measurements - not good monthlyseasonalsnowfall.pdf

then why hasn't the problem been solved and corrected ?

I think it has to be an employee of the NWS - anyone on here live near Central Park and can measure close to where they get their measurements from ? maybe Walt has some more info on the measurements and why they are always low

doesn't anyone go where they measure when the snow is falling and try to determine whats causing the constant low totals ?

even in NYC immediate metro ? whats it going to be well inland ?

remember - this is forecasted to be a wet snow similar to the beginning of the last event and even a couple of inches will stick to everything = power lines - trees - etc etc so it will look more more threatening then it might end up to be
