Observations of snow, sleet, freezing rain Sun-Tue Dec 1-2-early 3

Yeah but at one point he was saying over a foot I believe. Anytime he goes in I panic because it is a curse for us like DT can be.- 795 replies

So in conclusion, we were JBed. Whenever he starts talking historic I-95 storms, we get screwed.- 795 replies

We can make margaritas with the road salt! Puddles and slush here.

How much do you have on the ground?
-
News12 just posted a coating to an inch or two for the rest of the evening in Westchester. Guess they are not impressed with the system.
-
This one was a hard storm to get right, but yeah anytime you have a two part system and melting in-between people will get the pitchforks ready when the pretty colors do not line up to what is actually on the ground in-between. But it was definitely interesting to see how people down here in the NYC area expected something major when that really was never in the cards.
-
Rates really slowed down here in southern Westchester. Heavier bands are still possible. The only 100% definite so far with this storm is that JB's call of 'feet' of snow for the I-95 corridor will not pan out, unless he backtracks and then says that he meant the I-95 corridor in Maine. Other than that I think the NWS forecast is still in play, but if we do not see things start to fill in by 9-10PM then we are toast.

Coming down moderately in Tuckahoe, NY.
-
The majority were open with early dismissals right around the time models have the storm moving in. I was shocked how few districts were closed this morning. Glad many more are dismissing early, I just hope they get out before too long. I know Tuckahoe and Eastchester are still in session and planning on a full day.
-
If every storm is this stubborn this season I am either moving to Florida or northern Canada. One extreme or the other. I am hoping for 2-4 but given how many schools decided to open, I'm kind of hoping this doesn't ramp up until much later, as that would be a nightmare.
-
I don't think people are freaking out, just pointing out observations. And sorry, but the models have been pretty atrocious with this storm. Let's respect our Met friends here and listen to their reasoning. After all they have been studying this stuff both formally, and probably informally, for a long time.
-
Because if we analyze every 2-5 inch snowstorm for 46+ pages, this is going to be an exhausting winter. This was always a tricky storm, but never really had an 'epic' side to it. When the primary low heads to the west of Buffalo, we usually have very difficult time getting these to pan out. There are legit severe thunderstorm warnings in western PA. When that happens, it usually causes me to really question what we will get. So far it seems the models are having a difficult time too.
-
Yeah they posted one much earlier today, hence why the one you posted said 'remains in effect'. It may have been masked by a coastal flood advisory, etc as there are numerous advisories up now.
-
I'm confused, it looks fairly torchy in the LR after this week. I hope it is wrong, but that big AO spike does match with the timing. Let's hope it gets muted as my nephew would love to ice skate again on a pond at Christmas time when he comes up from the south.

I would not want to be a pro-met for this. The NWS has a great discussion about the uncertainty. They are definitely hesitant on that deformation band and where it sets up. Usually, these bands tend to be over-modeled in my experience. I am cautious, but I am thinking and have always been thinking this is a more north storm that a metro NYC storm. You can also tell meteorologists must be sleep deprived and over this storm (see bolded word from the forecast discussion). Should be Monday?? The other challenging factor is the transition back to snow across the area on Wednesday. Using a consensus approach, this changeover occurs across the Lower Hudson Valley and interior NE NJ during the late morning hours, then works east in the afternoon and evening hours. A changeover to all snow is expected across much of the area by midnight. Timing of this transition in conjunction with the deformation zone will be key to the amount of snowfall that falls across the region. There will likely be significant differences in snowfall amounts over short distances. Forecast amount changes are highly likely as this event unfolds.

Went through it all in the journey from Northern CT to Southern Westchester. Roads really aren’t in bad shape if you take it slowly. Snow was heaviest northern Westchester through mid-Westchester. Sleet and freezing rain here in Southern Westchester. Glad to be home now.- 795 replies

Part of me wants to stay in northern CT at my childhood home and enjoy the snowfall, but the adult side of me says I don’t think too much will be closed in NYC Monday. Should be decent here.
-
Funny how some people write off people with credentials these days just because they don’t tell them what they want to hear. I’m hearing many Mets optimistic yet admitting they may still have to go way down or up on totals as we continue to see how this progresses.
-
Yes snow maps are garbage this far out, but I disagree that easterly winds this time of year keeps the low and mid levels cold. Most of models don’t even have precip until later Sunday and most have the metro area above freezing by 10AM. I’m hoping this changes but there is much working against this system for us. Unless the secondary can get going earlier we usually do poorly with this type of setup. No use in trying to pinpoint solutions right now. Although I am thinking of how horrible traffic will be Sunday night with rain or with snow.
-
That's what I meant. I was pointing out that pretty much the opposite was happening from what he pointed out.
-
The mid-levels are torched but the euro is now on the cooler board? I am confused.

He needs more clicks. The holidays are coming up. All about the ads! Seriously why people listen to that clown still is beyond me. Oh wait, he routinely calls for frigid cold to fit his narrative. -
Try being a scientist. People just do not want to learn half the time. It is very strange. This stuff affects your everyday life, your health, your family’s health, etc. Even here it can be difficult to talk statistics. Some believe we are Caribou! It is interesting to see the science behind our winters and see how it affects the local ecology. Even my study organism, the blacklegged tick is driven largely by local weather.

You know it is a boring time when there are no posts for ten hours in late November. Should see the sun some today so that is exciting!
