  1. This is one of those storms that would probably have been forecast better in 1989 because models would have shown nothing but snow showers probably
  2. Still a prayer if the stuff in CT drops SW and can fill in but I’m not optimistic
  3. Amazing thing is LGA and JFK still had tons of cancels because of deicing. Even with temps 33-35 all day
  4. I'm not sure any model showed the current radar presentation for 23z. They are all wrong now LOL
  5. Euro continues performing best. It did show a chance of expansion of snow from 23-03Z across the area. We will see if it happens. I'm glad I only went 2-4 but even that could end up too high.
  6. Looks like Central Park has an inch on the ground on the cameras...could be slightly more
  7. Yeah we were just discussing that at work that it looks that way. I've thought for days it looked more like an IVT
  8. Having access to 3 hour panels on 12Z Euro its verifying well through 18z then it loses grip with too much QPF across LI 18-21 and 21-00. I think the Euro idea is right with the snow axis more or less holding current location through 03Z then falling apart slowly thereafter. The LI QPF is likely feedback from convection offshore
  9. The 06Z Euro 18-21Z radar matches the radar almost dead on right now
  10. Their OCMs who make the forecasts are relatively good. I don't see too many crazy snow forecasts from them inside 48 hours. They are usually conservative
  11. Streets in parts of NYC are getting slushy now. A key observation too is DPs have lowered to 30-32 in many spots. That shows you we have cold enough at mid levels to get the surface DPs and Ts to 32 or less
  12. Euro seems like it has feedback issues to me like UKMET with convection off the coast. It puts too much precip over central and east LI in next 6 hours. Its 18-00Z QPF for LI makes no sense to me. It does match the 12KM NAM though for E NJ and the Metro with the idea there will be most of the accumulating snow 23-05Z
  13. Columbus Circle cams show a solid half inch on benches/grass. CPK itself looks like less
  14. 12Km NAM now seems to be verifying best. If it holds NYC metro and east to WRN LI sees most of their snow 23-04z
  15. UKMET is funky looking overall. I think the convection fooled it. the 18-00Z QPF is bizarre and mostly offshore
  16. 12KM NAM as far as the R/S line is closest as of 17Z but I do not buy its idea of big snows 00-06Z for LGA/NYC region as I think this thing is already giving way and weakening by then
  17. The 06Z Euro might be the closest to verifying right now. Its got the area off the coast and the semi dry slot between bands. It is underdone though over N NJ to some extent but is still probably verifying best
  18. Its already wrong. Its 16-17Z depiction based on current radar does not have the showery look between CDW-FRG. I'm trying to find a high res model at the moment that seems to be handling this best. Overall the HRRR might be closest.
  19. Upton might be planning changes. Their new TAFs for LGA JFK have mod snow now LGA NWS 021542 AMD KLGA 021541Z 0216/0318 FM021800 36014KT 3SM -SNRA BR OVC008 FM021900 36014G24KT 2SM -SN BR OVC008 TEMPO 0221/0301 1/2SM SN FG OVC006 FM030100 35017G25KT 1 1/2SM -SN BR OVC008 FM030500 34018G27KT 6SM -SN BR OVC015 FM030900 32016G22KT P6SM BKN030 BKN050 FM031300 31015G21KT P6SM SCT030 BKN080
  20. So far the models all seem to be too far to the east with everything based off the current observations so I'm still leaning mostly towards a miss in NYC
  21. I don’t believe any model will get this extremely correct. When you look at the 06Z models and the latest HRRR all of them to some degree have the current setup wrong
  22. Nothing high res at 06Z really showed that band there. I’m not sure if that’s a long duration feature or not. The area over NYC was shown on most models but it was further west than it currently is
  23. Today Show was just outside and it looked like PLSNRA
