Yeah as the -NAO/-AO moves back north this region will get blasted, we just don't need it to move too fast.

Agree, we have seen setups like this end up very well.

Tell that to the Representative elect in Louisiana who just died at 41. Like is there ever a time you aren't shockingly wrong about everything.

Last I saw they were over 14". Got pounded there.

East based -NAOs are great especially for the eastern Lakes. As long as the West based -NAO isn't off the charts it can be good for everyone as well. Too much and it suppression city.

Had 2.5" when I left at 1:30.

Don't you ever get tired about being wrong about everything?

What I am seeing is a classic Alek pattern

Everything trended west so far tonight.

My guess is this drop is directly tied to the closure of restaurants. It is the only place where it is very hard to stay masked up 100% because of obvious need for them off for eating.

There is still a system and some places will see something appreciable. Problem is that it isn't Chicago so some are getting bent over it. Fact is no one has had a good winter yet so any of this cutthroat nonsense is just stupid.

Seems like a fun thread here.

I don't know how they can see things like GR or RadarScope and think this is a good alternative resource. I mean as much as the old page had its flaws at least it was easier to navigate.

Wtf

Yep all 3 fantastic products. Well worth the money spent.

Most tone deaf for sure. Worst nah there have been other turds that floated by.

What snow, all I see is fog

Absolutely, there is a bit of joy there.

Last report they were at 33.8" as of 45 mins ago with 14.7 falling in 2 hours and 45 mins. Absolutely insane for a synoptic storm.

I had to post this here when I saw it, thanks to @andyhb for bringing it to my attention. Binghamton NY's ob KBGM 170553Z AUTO 1/4SM +SN FZFG VV002 M09/M11 A2985 RMK AO2 TWR VIS 3/4 SLP136 P0040 60120 T10891106 11072 21089 58023 RVRNO .40 liquid in one hour 1.20 in 6. Even at 10:1 you are talking 4" per hour that hour and 2" per hour in 6 hours. But that is at 10:1. Notice the temp/dew -9c/-11c. You are almost assuredly having higher than 10:1 ratios. Even at 12:1 thats 4.8" and 14.4 in 1/6 hours.

99-00 was a second year Nina, and 88-89 was coming off one of the biggest droughts of all time.

I'd be a bit more annoyed seeing this storm if it was a Nino, but I know ours is coming.

I will piggyback and say that most moderate La Nina's tend to have variable Decembers where as Jan/Feb tend to be money for the region. If there is something in those Decembers it is usually the last week of December. I know that people are getting antsy but I'd like to point out for example 10-11 DTW had 9.2" in December and ended with 69"+ and that December NYC got crushed with the Boxing Day storm and heavy snow in January but they were largely done by Feb 1st, where as most of this region saw most of their snow that month.
