I think It's pretty much a non event N and W. I'm a little north of 84 and we are looking like .50 liquid and very little if any frozen. It is what it is.
Just like tracking winter storms models still suck. We are about 30 hours from rain beginning and models are all over the place with track and areas of heavy rain.
It absolutely is needed. 5-9 inches of heavy snow can cause problems and it is heavily elevation dependent like the warning says. I'm 20 miles north of 84 in valley and expecting no more than 2 inches. 3-4 inches possible as you get closer to Albany.
I feel like Rip Van Winkle who just woke up from his slumber. All models give at least snow to rain N and W with the Euro being most aggressive. Hmmm. Will be watching this one.
So true. I didn't think first half of Feb. would be as bad as January but I was wrong. 9 degrees above normal so far with only 2 inches of snow. Sucks.
The GFS sucks but this is not an all rain event for those north of city. All models show some front end snows, especially mid hudson valley and north. Right now I would still say 1-2 inches around 84 before changeover and 2-4 up to I90. Similar to totals last night.
