When does everyone else jump on is the question. If they do, anwyay, which I'd assume begins when the wave gets sampled.
Hopefully us in Sullivan County whether NW.SE.SW or NE parts of the county cash is

I used to listen to Don Kent-BZ, WCAU had a good met team in Phlegms, There was Denardo-McFarland in PIT, and WTIC Barbara Allen Buzz Bernard etc... they all helped get me psyched on events. WNYC used to have a 145PM radar report, right off the Weather Bureau Radar at Rockefeller Center. Anyway, better not digress any more. Gotta rest.
Also WNYC had their 6:45PM radio broadcast from NWS
NYC names of mets from 60's NYC Walter Vanis, Charlie Sykes.
On Feb 2nd 1969 when I was 10 my dad took me to 30 Rock, we walked up 1 flight of stairs right into the NWS office and a wonderful met gave my dad and me a tour which I cherish to this day
A week later the Lindsey blizzard
My screename here " Sferic" by the way was a device used to triangulate lightning strikes back in the day; not sure if they are still used

That's correct... Let's presume it will be back by Saturday... if it's not, then I'll be concerned. All these op runs are single members... even the EC op could lose it tomorrow but it might show the single member OP that represents only 10% of the ensemble.
So--- my fingers are crossed. I like the setup... for a moderate event of 1/2-1" qpf... modeling can change my thinking but for now a conservative progressive approach. Any snow we can get now is nice to have.
Most everyone on here is probably under age 60... I presume. Modelers-researchers-computerization and platforms for data have provided us with modeling that can be pretty accurate to D5 and alert us to a potential event D6-10 with some reliability. Back in 1960-65 I was reading the Farmers Almanac, and local long rangers (Gordon Barnes) for my hope... not a Weather "Bureau" D5-7 forecast (as the NWS referenced back then).
Let's see what happens and keep the options open that there could be some sort of failure here.
Ah, Gordon Barnes, legendary in NYC 1960's to early 1970's
I remember "Barnstorming" which ran on CBS Network radio

So for tomorrow's storm no use looking at today's model runs for NW NJ and the Catskills; this is a New England special, no western nudging possible, right ?

First time ever I am living exclusively in Liberty NY until April.
I can still monitor my PWS in Lynbrook NY though as hopefully not too many rain/snow lines make it this far north
Hoping by week 2 of December things get moving here

If the front were timed just a bit better I think a more widespread wind event would have been at hand. Here downstate frontal arrival will still be timed far after sunset and without better mixing. Guessing better gust potential here should be with the line itself. Still like the idea of gusts 25-35 here downstate.
I am hoping for a coating of snow Tuesday which is clearly in the realm

Under bright sunshine, the region saw near record and record warm temperatures. At Central Park, the temperature rose to 75°. At Islip, the temperature reached a record 76° and Newark saw a record 77° high temperature.
Overall, the weather was perfect for enjoying the fall colors. Five photos from the New York Botanical Garden:
One short video clip along the Bronx River at the New York Botanical Garden:
Stunning photos as usual !
