I think 2-3 is a good forecast for nyc. I don’t understand the negativity this morning 

Because some like to whine. Others like to be overly pessimistic so when they get 2” instead of 1” they get excited. And others just need to keep typing the same shit over and over to show theyre right in some weird mommy and daddy issue from their childhood. 
 

but i got a B+ in psych 102 so maybe im way off.

Just guessing here, but this is prob a 1-3” storm.

Uptons forecasted low is 15 here, I'm ar 13 now and KMGJ is already down to 10. How low can we go...

We were dropping 2 degrees an hour earlier but have stalled with some clouds. 

We have a gravel/dirt lot we “borrow” at work to park. The 1” or so of compacted snow is a full sheet of ice, and its on a slight grade. Least fun ive ever had at work trying to leave lol

2”. Then a heavy .1 or so of freezing rain after fluffy cold snow. What a weird storm.

When I went through at 8am the PIP was in better shape than I-87.

The thruway near the palisades with the uphill going westbound from the mall was pretty crappy earlier this morning.

Oh we can go a lot further than that to help some people around here lol

What would they plow? You need salters for days like this. Roads are wet going to icy

The palisades had more than enough snow to plow it earlier. As did 303, 59, parts of the thruway, and 202.

its fluffy for fhe most part but now that we have gotten a lay of sleet it sucks. its like 75/25 snow now.

Gotta try to clear it before any heavier sleet or freezing drizzle falls, but every time i step outside it switches back to snow.

sleet here in rockland. 2” on the ground.

Went back to all snow with that “heavier” band moving through. Enough to re-cover the plowed and shoveled areas, mostly light but bordering on moderate occasionally. Trying to time the shoveling of the driveway. This is gonna suck.

Get this, just measured 1 inch on the nose in Easton CT and schools were closed!

Just closed up here too 

My kids whined less than some of you when they didnt close schools. Christ.

I was supposed to get a decent amount from the ACY storm Jan 2-3 ‘22. Right up until go time I was modeled for a few solid inches and I got nothing but virga. Granted the dry air was super aggressive to our north I recall, but yeah the models didn’t really depict it well wrt snow totals along a tight gradient.

IIRC I was within the northern extent of the banding almost the whole time but absolutely nothing reached the ground.

Models fail at different points all the time for sure, especially when it matters to weenies such as us who debate over 2” vs 4”. Theyll never be perfect, especially when small distances matter significantly with a dry column, lack of uplift, subsidence, etc all over a mile or two at times. But that doesnt mean the models have failed, or that they didnt take into account certain conditions properly. 
 

its along the same lines as when people here complain that once a model has locked on a rainstorm, it never waivers. Complete nonsense. It wavers constantly, its just that sometimes the rain/snow line is in suffolk county, and we all watch the battle and waffling of the model runs….and sometimes the rain snow line is near buffalo. The model performance is identical, but because we are entrenched in the warm sector, 100 miles either way makes no difference, let alone 5 or 10 miles.

Instead of a snow game we get this 

 

At least theyre scoring some points. Who the hell wants to watch 2 teams run 3 feet and fall down. Fuk outta here.

That is really going to struggle to get any further north than it is right now, at least for many more hours.  These near zero dewpoints are going to be hard to overcome.  I'm a little skeptical of 4-6". 

I sure hope the next versions of the models take in the atmospheric conditions so they dont print out 4” of snow when it wont happen because of a dry column….

Some snow showers at the Buffalo Bills football stadium.  forecasts are for 8-12" tonight and then another 3-5" tomorrow?  What if they played at the regularly scheduled time of 1 PM today?

Snow showers?

wow an inch of snow in january that's incredible i might look out the window once or twice

So, the same as what you do in summer when you root for heat?

I dont understand the need to keep professing that small storms dont interest you. Ok? Then move on, why clog up the thread, this potential 1-3 is being discussed in this thread. Dont post if you dont want to discuss it.

Tell that to the people who were going today

They woulda been a day early and deserved to get stuck in a blizzard?

Ill gladly pay to watch FSU smoke a bunch of Rudy wannabe’s lol

Stony point/haverstraw by the river are in bad shape this morning. Numerous water related rescues and issues.

would be nice if there was some moderating in here so this thread doesn't turn into half nonsense posts

Imagine thinking we live here. 

Imagine learning to multiquote instead of wasting that doing math in your head….
