Becoming optimistic this’ll be a good one for us. 2/28 last year was very marginal and we had 5” of paste. But we know the risks with white rain etc. The dynamics and snow rates with this one look awesome.
I'll definitely enjoy it and not negative whatsoever about it. Just have to be realistic about a storm coming into this airmass and we're still on the southern end of the good stuff. I'm getting excited for my area-the "sniff rain" zone like I said should be good in this storm. But southern NYC and the south shore could still be a ton of white rain. Head up to Van Cortlandt Park for this one.
Ehh, we'll see. Good trends tonight but maybe add a sloppy inch in NYC and maybe 3-4" IMBY, 1-3" south shore. Can very easily reverse tomorrow. If that Euro run happens verbatim it'll be a pounding. We'll see.
0z will be pretty big-if the south trends keep up I would think amounts should go up decently around the city/I-80 corridor. But again dump any 10-1 map and be thrilled if this covers all the grass.
Again-have to look at how the storm comes in, which is a primary cutting decently far north, the bad preceding airmass and the mid level low tracks. Those really determine our outcome more than the surface low.
Smart money says this probably sucks for us and around the city but every once in a while we get thrown a bone. Keep hope alive I guess. Having some snow cover like we should in February will be a win.
Sell any 10-1 map in this setup. We’re fighting an airmass that got us into the 50s today. Some/a good amount will be wasted near the city even if these snowier models happen.
