  1. The “sniff the rain” zone wherever that ends up will likely be a good place to be. This is an energetic system with a lot of moisture to work with.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Mesos/hi res models being a little south in general is encouraging
  7. NYC is also very often the most difficult metro to forecast for winter storms. Right on the line as always. Philly/DC are a lock for rain (maybe Philly can get some snow if the south trends are real), Boston for 6+. Experience says the city maybe gets some sloppy accums but nothing significant, but 0z might change things. Fingers crossed.
  8. Tough forecast north of the LIE/the Bronx and along I-80. Could be a sloppy inch, could be 6”.
  9. From what I’ve seen living here our area can do okay in marginal events like last 2/28, but if we’re screwed otherwise like a close in low track or the mid level warm layers it won’t matter. I’ll gladly take whatever it is. My gut says it could be a lot of white rain again on the south shore/city and slushy couple or few inches for us.
  10. Maybe. It’ll be a close call here. If we get enough to cover the grass all the way it’ll be a big win. The surface isn’t the only problem with this, there are warm layers around 800mb that might keep us sleet for a while.
  11. Tougher call for the N Shore, Northern NYC and I-80 in NJ, slight south shifts can bring them in the game for 3-6”. But I-84 corridor looks golden for this and has for days.
  12. Midtown might not have any accumulation unless it pounds. It’s always tough to stick there and this will be a very marginal setup.
  13. Very preliminary I’d say 1-3” for the north shore away from the city, maybe an inch if lucky in the city and south shore. 3-6” north of the Tappan Zee and 6-12” near I-84.
  14. I-84 corridor is where the best spots been for days now. Is what it is, head fakes from crap models as they are.
  15. Nope. Huntington Station as my profile shows. 5” this “winter” so far and 8” last which is actually a lot better than the city.
  16. My shovel has been sitting in my storage room for 2 years now.
  17. Thing is unfortunately next time will trend north too and screw us. Disaster of a winter that can’t end soon enough. Nice mild day today at least.
  18. I have to think the GFS/Euro idea is right here but that CMC run is a huge forehead scratcher this close in. Maybe these south outliers mean GFS/Euro are too amped, I can hope anyway. But it can easily rampage north at 0z.
  19. Depends on what the confluence does. It lets go whatsoever and we’re toast.
  20. It’s good IMO that it’s staying south. Maybe it means we’re not dealing with a huge late N push again and it isn’t that great a model anyway. I wouldn’t be worried at all north of the city unless we see a bigger confluence push on the other models.
