    Look on the bright side. At least the heavy rain potential next week will wash away all the leftover salt on the paved surfaces. But make sure you have rain gutters with leaf guards.;)
     

    Just had my gutters cleaned out today, bring on the rain!

    Getting windier here, trees are shaking pretty good. The ice/snow from earlier is all melted now. The dividing line for that here seemed to be around the LIE/Northern State. I drove from Long Beach this afternoon in rain/some sleet, then around Garden City the ground started to whiten. By Jericho Turnpike in Syosset it was half snow/sleet mix and the roads/ground were covered. Streets were horrendous when it was coming down. 

    Yeah my street was bad around 4:20pm heading to get food for the family. Once on main streets it was fine just had to be careful of slush on turning lane on Jericho tpke.  Winds roaring with gusts to 30 here so far. 

  3. Not sure if anyone posted this but OKX radar is down starting 12/3 for an upgrade.

    https://www.weather.gov/okx/SLEP-KOKX-December

    Beginning December 3, 2019, the KOKX WSR-88D radar operated by the NOAA National Weather Service in Upton, New York will be down for approximately five days for the refurbishment of the transmitter. Although the form, fit, and function of the transmitter will remain the same, old breakers and cables original to the radar will be replaced with modern fuses and new cables. This will help keep the radar operating smoothly for another 20 years.

    This transmitter update is the second major project of the NEXRAD Service Life Extension Program, a series of upgrades and replacements that will keep our nation’s radars viable into the 2030’s. NOAA National Weather Service, the United States Air Force, and the Federal Aviation Administration are investing $150 million in the seven year program. The first project was the installation of the new signal processor. The two remaining projects are the refurbishment of the pedestal and equipment shelters. The Service Life Extension Program will complete in 2022.

    I think these models are overdoing the warmth, and the fact that every time these models are too warm, nam seems to be much better in thermals I’d like to see that in the next day or two. I think we’re going to get a lot of snow out of this and even in the city could get a foot cause of the prolonging snows!

    This persistent -PNA pattern resulted in a big shift west for the Pacific SST warm blob. It moved from near California to the Aleutians and weakened a bit since Labor Day. This reflects a pattern with only transient cool downs before the SE Ridge reloads.

    Just like summer. We’d see the heat and it would get here for a little and then we’d get a transient shot of relief before the high DPs came back and the heat tried to get up to us.  Then we’d repeat it all over again.

    That number is biased towards climo that far out, but more importantly, the FV3 has been horrendous w the extended this fall. Should see those numbers creep up closer to the 60s-70s the Euro has been showing ~10/30-11/1. Still can’t rule out a backdoor front cooling things down but I suspect the SE ridge means business. 

    Oh I know the GFS is bad on the extended I was just showing there was guidance at the time showing 52. Hence the talk of cold happening. It’s already up to 57 now on 00Z run and as you said it’ll be in the 60s in no time.  This SE ridge isn’t going anywhere, Miami is having its hottest October on record.
