    I hate the position of the high...more so for my area than Norwalk but even there I just think anything over 4 is a long shot here
  2. SnowGoose69
    Air mass was just way better and track came from further east up the coast....I am thinking SW CT and even maybe areas just N of NYC perform generally worse than most models here with this

    Well physically in this setup that could not happen lol...the reason events like 2/2008 happen where it comes in way early is usually due to the high positioning. Our biggest events happen when the high center is new PWM when the event starts and usually is near southern Ontario or maybe Huron/Georgian Bay day prior. In this case the high is simply way too far north

    The Euro last few years has been stupidly too cold in these events it seems so often.
  5. SnowGoose69
    Not really....I think the Newark/NYC/LGA area does have a shot for something here but you probably need to see this come in 2-3 hours ahead of what most models have now. That is an area that could if everything went right probably see like 2-3 inches.

    My main concern is we lose the general more east trof post 1/15 if the MJO goes through the bad phases...but its possible we get lucky anyway if it traverses through there too weakly
  7. SnowGoose69
    Yeah it'll happen this month but probably not tomorrow. I honestly felt NYC would get 1 inch from this. I am fairly confident now they do not

    I never know what to think about wave magnitude. BAM on twitter has argued historically he can find cases where insanely strong waves in weak Ninos through 4-5-6 did nothing negative to the pattern in the East and likewise where strong waves through 8-1-2 in big Ninas did nothing favorable but pointed out where a weak wave through 4-5 killed us in a weak Nino. I wonder if as some argue the MJO probably more often than not does not influence things when you have an ENSO event that is well coupled.

    You have to be somewhat, that said the models have been getting increasingly fish flop worthy with it in recent days. The tendency this last 8 weeks has been GEFS too strong, EPS too weak, BOTH way too slow...so if you take that blend now, yeah you gotta be worried a bit. That would work out to a pass through 4-5-6 but faster by a decent amount than either suite shows....the thing we'd want to avoid is it failing to make the strong pass through 7-8-1 thereafter or worse, re-emerging into 3 again in early February.

    RGEM can be pretty good now inside 54-60. The NAM IMO is junk beyond 36-48. the 3km really is only good inside of 30.
  11. SnowGoose69
    DT has been saying he thinks EWR/TEB/HPN see big snows. I do not really believe that as it stands now. I felt maybe the NWS map in places like NE NJ and near interior parts of Fairfield/New Haven was overdone. That said we have time still to change that idea.
  12. SnowGoose69
    The one promise I will make...even if NYC does not get 1 inch from this they will get 1 inch by the end of the month
  13. SnowGoose69
    The RGEM generally is too amped and west at 72-84 9 out of 10 so I would expect it to come somewhat E-S on the next few runs. It used to be over amped past 36-40 but its usually okay now up til 66-72.
  14. SnowGoose69
    At this range I seriously only trust the RGEM/Euro on a system like this...obviously the GFS is gonna over torch the BL among other problems the NAM/ICON/UKMET just cannot be trusted for various reasons...by this time tomorrow we can probably begin to trust the NAM somewhat
  15. SnowGoose69
    Never ever trust the NAM past 48, especially in involved setups such as this. In general the NAM is to be trusted when it shows virtually no run to run changes...see January 2016 or February 2010 when that thing did not budge one inch on its idea from 84 hours in. Any time its moving all over its useless
  16. SnowGoose69
    It always helps now. This is why storms of 12 plus since 2000-2002 have become commonplace. Crazy pwat values and just bombing storms which I blame fully on warmer Atlantic SSTs. This is why I still think something big can happen for the metro here. If there is potential for faster phase/intensity these days it tends to find a way to happen
  17. SnowGoose69
    Yeah this is an event where Fenway gets 9 and Logan gets 2. Normally by now ocean is cold enough that even screaming east flow won’t matter but SSTs are warmer this year
  18. SnowGoose69
    We probably do but I wouldn’t trust anything the NAM shows til probbaly tomorrow afternoon or evening
  19. SnowGoose69
    NYC has only 2 events where they record 1 inch of rain and then 5 inches or more of snow...12/25/02 is one. I cannot recall what the other is but Bastardi has posted it a few times, he uses it as an example that in general if you get significant rain the system better be undergoing a massive bombing or phase or it probably means significant snow after the changeover will be near impossible
  20. SnowGoose69
    Much like down here in NYC we usually get 1 week of good weather in mid January in raging Ninas or really ANY Ninas with bad patterns like 96-97 98-99 Seattle has a track record of cashing in during bad Nino winters for them too in early to mid January before the background state inevitably goes to crap for them again
  21. SnowGoose69
    Numerical numbers show DPs around 32...its really close...as currently shown I think NYC is 34/32 in there and maybe it accumulates verbatim if its coming down crazy hard but current thermals to me fall short unless this thing can further phase/bomb earlier...no doubt the fact it will be overnight would help, even in January
  22. SnowGoose69
    Yeah, rule we always used is you want 700mb to -8 to -10C if you're gonna flip over on back side and accumulate...its -5C so not even close
  23. SnowGoose69
    The Op Euro being the most east at 96-120 is scary...obviously Op runs should not really be used heavily at this range but its something we've rarely seen since its most recent upgrade on stronger systems. I still am telling people today I more fear a total or near total miss down here than I do this tracking overhead
  24. SnowGoose69
    Obviously you never should focus too much on Op runs at 100-120 hours but I cannot remember a single major system where the Op Euro was not overamped the last few winters...the fact its consistently been the most SE the last few runs is sort of concerning to me as that has rarely happened in recent years on stronger systems at this range. Its a very apparent bias that is absent the last 2 days here
  25. SnowGoose69
    I have always found anytime confluence is a concern it abates sometimes on models around Day 4-6 only to start becoming a problem again inside of that. Its why I am still concerned this could move SE.
