Thus dies my dream of a Monday virtually teaching in my pajamas from the comfort of my home. Sigh.

But...I was told this was coming. Why would Rjay betray us like this?

For real. Just take it as it comes, don't get too high or low this far out.

Not sure why we are locking in a hit or a miss on Tuesday. Last storm's solutions were far from locked down this far out. Wednesday Eve/Thursday morning is when I'll be reasonably assured that a solution is nearly there.

They absolutely can angle the plow to the left or right, not sure what you're on about...

I will never understand, as someone living in a cul-de-sac with nothing in the center, why plows insist on plowing the snow towards the driveways instead of the empty center island. Baffling.

Winds picking up, south eastern Suffolk County. Sleet whipping against the house.

This is the heaviest sleet I can remember since I was a child in like 1992 I believe? I remember the ice being so thick on the snow top that I could walk on it and push around my big tonka trucks without it sinking down.

Coming down heavy in Suffolk, but hearing a few pings on the window. If this goes to all sleet...boy is that going to be a lot of sleet.

My district already calling a snow day tomorrow. Rare of them to be so early

Should we assume snow will move in quicker than advertised? Feel like that's how it always goes. Trying to decide what time to set an alarm to watch the first flakes fly on the island.

As long as it’s messy enough to close school Monday, I’ll take it. Handicapped, and my snow cleaning crew ain’t digging me out till Monday I’m sure. My town has already canceled garbage pickup Monday as well.

Amazing how 8-12 inches is “not our storm.” Did ya all live through the past few winters? I swear some all timers like Nemo broke people from being able to appreciate big storms.

See where the battleground sets up tomorrow and extrapolate.

Eh idk some of his personal attack posts that got deleted were worse.

Some need to step back from the ledge and not live and die by every run. Still a lot of time before anything is locked in, every day has been a different solution. Looking at consistency, the Euro AI has been fairly adamant in its solutions, and did well last storm if I remember correctly. Either way, a nice storm is coming. Enjoy it!

Big beautiful flakes falling in Port Jefferson

Windy AF on the Island tonight

Now I just need some Suffolk county thunder snow at some point and I'll be all set.

Time for people to jump off the ledge again. Could be bad data, initialization, the double barrel making it chase the more east low which may not even exist. It's nowcast/shortrange time and let the pieces fall where they may. The run to run swings are just not healthy lol, take a blend.

No flakes yet in Port Jefferson.

Not sure what to look at to determine this so I'll defer to the knowledgeable posters ...what are the chances of some thunder snow with this system on LI?

They said they were waiting for one more model round for consistency to do blizz warnings. " In addition, have elected to hold off on any blizzardh eadlines at this time for eastern LI and southern CT, the area that are most likely to meet blizzard criteria. Given the increased forecast confidence in only these latest runs, would prefer one more cycle for that upgrade. Regardless, near blizzard conditions are possible for eastern LI and southern CT for a period on Saturday afternoon with this system."

Man I remember yesterday when the Debbie downers threw in the towel...
