    What are people's thoughts on cloud cover this afternoon out in GC?

    Doesn't seem overly wet . Scattered showers mid week. Euro has less than 1" thru day 10

    You better fire up your drought thread. 

  4. I think one of the reasons totals are reduced out here is poor snow growth not just qpf issues. Baking powder, I just shoveled and it's surprisingly heavy.

     

    How much did you measure, Chris? 

     

    It's predominately qpf, though.  That said, we're now hiavng the best snow of the storm--at least since 5:00a.m.  If it keeps up a while this could get us over the hump to reach advisory level. 

  5. Yeah I am sorry it didn't work out for you down there.

     

    It is what it is.

     

    FWIW, BOX has updated it's snowfall forecast map for what is likely the last time.  I don't know what they're thinking with the amounts they're showing out here.  My ZFP is also calling for 12-16".  A quick look out the window and at the radar makes me shake my head.

  6. This is a case where it was too much modelology instead of "looking out the window" last night so forecasters held on too long for the areas that busted..

     

    I was worried going to bed last night, the radar returns hitting a wall as they headed up here were tell-tale of a bust.  Mets and others saying not to worry since it's really not going to be firing up until 06z gave me hope.  

     

    At least I can now make it from Thanksgiving until probably February without using my snowblower. 

  7. This is an utter failure in GC.  I don't know if we'll achieve advisory level snow.  At least its  breezy so the couple inches that came down can blow around a little.  If it weren't so funny to bust so drastically, I'd really be bummed.  I'll probably get more Thursday night/Friday than I get from this.

     

    This winter has diminished to a D- at this point out here.  Sucky, sucky, sucky.  When can I open the pool?

  8. When I look at the models quickly vs 21/22z....I think and this was a very fast glance...that the Euro was still too far west and probably too slow with the systems movement.   The next hour is really critical as everything comes together, but I'd have liked to see that striated band of precip east of ACY actually right on the coast to confirm the Euro and some others western edge.

     

    JMHO....  looking at the radar the orientation of the developing bands etc - I mean at least right now they appear to be originating outward from a center that is a bit SE.   Maybe it hooks up and in over the next few hours, don't know beats me.

     

    I'm seeing something very different.  But, I'm not as well-versed in this.

  9. Think most of us get paranoid right before the event when a sucker hole is likely. It's one thing to have a storm whiff one way or another...but when everyone around you gets nailed and you can't manage persistent heavy snow, it's the worst IMO. We've all been there. But if you get lucky things break your way. I remember being paranoid about getting sucker holed in the Feb 2013 storm...most of the models had this area in the screw zone...I was pretty pessimistic up until the deform band moved ashore from LI around 5-6pm. 30" later...  

     

    Yeah--they do suck.  I think me, Chris, Lurker and Dave dealt with that in the Boxing Day storm.  Still was decent but disappointing compared to all the reports on here.

     

    At least when you're missing wide-right, you can be better prepared for it.

     

    Looks like we'll need to do some saturating before anything of not.

     

    16.7/6
