And how good have any of the other models been? The Euro has verified pretty well IMBY the last 2 events. 24-48 hrs prior It had me getting a total of 11 inches in early Dec and that is what I got. It had me getting 2 inches from the frontal wave and I received 1.5. With this system models have been all over the place quite frankly.
Can anybody post 12z Euro? Interested in what it has for snow/sleet/zr north and west being that it was further south. FWIW weather channel forecast upgraded me to 3-5 inches on Tuesday.
You are right on time making generalizations downplaying the event. This could be a real issue N and W with ZR on top of the 2-4 inches of snow/sleet on the front end. The Euro has been consistent with this for 3 days now.
Here we go again. The GFS is the only model that shows a cutter and even that scenario would still cause an extended period of frozen precip north and west of NYC before changeover to rain. Every other model shows a colder solution right now.
Stop preaching. Those snow depth maps can be very inaccurate also. During last storm you posted those maps that showed Albany area getting ridiculously low amounts of additional snow. In reality they got a foot more than those maps were showing. You also said there was no way the setup for that storm was going to produce wintry precip. I wound up with 11 inches from your forecast rain storm. You need to be more specific on which area you are talking about or just STFU.
It was pretty clear for a while that the axis of heaviest snow was going to be from Catskills to Albany area to western New England. Along and north of 84 did well too, but NYC metro was always going to be a crap shoot.
I'm in Hyde Park right on the river in western Dutchess and have picked up 5 so far. 31 and moderate snow right now. I see no reason why I can't pick up another 2-4 with those bands to the N and NE.
