I'm in Hyde Park about 10 miles or so from that reporting station and I absolutely believe those obs. Visibility was 1/4 mile or less nearly all day. I have about 15 inches in 13 hours so I would say I agree with those obs.

Please stop. So I guess it's all pivotal's fault that the nam is being decommissioned. The models are all on the same playing field.

5 degrees with 8 OTG and moderate/heavy snow. Still expecting around 20 up here when all is said and done.

Finished with 9 inches, 18 for the season. It was a good storm up here. Anywhere between 8 and 10.5 according to reports.

The nam is a blind squirrel that does find an acorn every now and then with mid level warmth. It's also wrong most of the time with everything else hence why it is being replaced. It had me at 2 inches at this time and I have 5.

16 with heavy snow, about 3 inches OTG.

19 and cloudy. Feels like snow.

How could that be? The dry Euro at 10:1 has 4 inches for NYC. Blasphemy.

Yea and? They are aware and don't expect it to affect accumulations and increased amounts. Most of the snow is going to fall in a 6 hour timeframe when precip is heavy. I could see a mix in southern areas mostly after the damage has been done.

That is simply not true. Will some areas change over for a time as the precip lightens up? Maybe. NWS still has 6 inches or so for basically the entire NYC metro and they increased amounts slightly overnight. Are they just looking at snow maps also?

We are in a good spot for around 8 tonight. It's going to come down hard for a while.

Of course you do. Not hugging the nam today? Other models that show more have been just as consistent. Also ratios will be in the 13-15:1 range in northern sections. Many areas will see 6-8.

Very odd indeed but NWS Albany is always late putting up watches and warnings. There should be a watch up with start time less than 36 hours away. Dutchess county needs 7 inches in 24 hours to reach warning criteria but to post nothing is ridiculous especially with holiday travel. They can always change to WWA or warning.

I'm shocked.

The nam is an awful model and anybody who takes it over every other model is a fool.
