Snow-ice-rain for the NYC forum 7PM Mon 1/25-6AM Wednesday 1/27
jm1220 replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Could be interesting here on the north shore if these colder models have a clue. 18z EC was quite cold and would be 3-5” from here west into NYC but it’s also been too cold with other storms this winter such as 12/17. -

Boston has the much higher climo snow amount for a reason-many more ways for them to snow. Doesn’t make it any less frustrating but can’t do anything about it. -

Yep-essentially split screwed here with system 1 going north of us and warming most of us up for what falls to be non snow and system 2 suppressed to crap. Good times. -
Gotta admit it would be hilarious if a week from now DC has the most snow of any major I-95 city if they get slammed from the possible Thu event and we get screwed from it being too suppressed and Tue is 24 hours of flurries or it’s mainly rain in NYC. In a strong Nina no less.

Yeah, I guess that will have some wintry appeal for a while. The maybe half inch of wet snow 2 mornings ago that stuck on everything and was a postcard scene for as long as it lasted will likely end up better than this will. -

It really doesn't matter how much further north it is in the midwest. What matters here is the press of the confluence/dry air which will dry the precip up at some point and suppress what's left when it comes east through PA. -

Verbatim at the time the 144hr storm is happening there's a lobe of added energy coming down from the 50-50 type low in Canada which reinforces the confluence and shunts it out or even SE. It would be good if that lobe was weaker or timed differently. That's how we got horribly screwed on 2/6/10, worst possible timed added confluence. -

That'll definitely be a nice event for someone and quite vigorous but it'll again hit the brick wall somewhere. You'll have to see where the upper level flow goes from SW (moist) to westerly (dry confluence) to see where the snow makes it to. It actually goes ESE or SE after it forms near the VA capes. Essentially a big bowling ball you might see in March. Nothing to force it poleward which might be a good thing since it would then turn into a cutter and washout. -

Maybe but it would be light. The dry air wins out and dries up the snow shield. Verbatim it hits an absolute brick wall. When you see that WNW-ESE shunt on these type of events in PA through this area you know that brick wall means business. -

You think that's bad? Syracuse is at 29" of snow for the season, normally by now they have 67". They're getting maybe 6" of lake effect tonight though but they're in a deep hole. Binghamton an hour drive or so south of them is at 60" because of the crazy snow band from the 12/17 storm. -

NAM with a big slug of precip that comes in and then gets eaten by dry air and shunted out like other models. It's just more robust with that front end so it's a sharp cutoff between a few inches and nothing. Dry air really tries to push down as the low is approaching. Dewpoints in CT/Hudson Valley are in the low single digits when the snow is coming through PA. -

Tons of dry air as it encounters confluence and the wave itself dampens out under the block. Essentially gets squeezed to nothing. -

jm1220 replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
It’ll be the squeeze between the block north of us and the SE ridge and hoping whatever wave comes in doesn’t get shredded. The -PNA will result in a pumped SE ridge so too suppressed isn’t that big a concern to me. Shredded to nothing or rain are the bigger concerns. -
Probably a slow decline for now since the holidays are over but any lag post Monday holiday might make the rest of the week worse. Deaths are a lagging indicator unfortunately so probably a couple weeks before this starts to really drop. Hopefully new cases and hospitalizations remain on an improving trend and vaccinations can finally start making a real difference.

The SE ridge is constantly under modeled. The block will be in place but it will try to gain latitude as much as it can. If the S/W is strong enough I’d be worried about rain more than a miss. -
Light snow possible between 1/19 Tue night-1/22 Noon Friday.
jm1220 replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Looks like it’s wrapping up here. Nice coating even on the street. Very picturesque with the wet snow sticking on trees and finally wintery looking scene again. -

Borderline moderate snow here, surfaces coated good. -

Finally some heavy precip even if it’s rain. There could be a nice stripe of heavy rain that trains for a bit over central Suffolk County into CT where there could be 2-3”. -
The way the US has responded to this pandemic wouldn't be credible for some satire sit-com like Veep. It's been an avalanche of fail from day one. What HASN'T been totally screwed? Just crossed 400K deaths on Worldometers as we have the worst per capita death toll in the Western Hemisphere, and among major countries globally beaten by only the UK and Italy. Just so much winning1!!q11!111!! And it's just like the flu1!1!!!!11
-
Over 4000 deaths again today. CA really driving the numbers but NY increasing again too. The outbreak’s definitely worsening again here. The US is routinely making up over 25% of world daily deaths again.
-
Not a huge deal11!1!!! Only about 1800 or so of those maybe are under age 80 and would be dead soon anyway.

50% or more of COVID deaths (in this case over 180000 of 360000) have been over age 80, yet barely anyone under age 80 has died? 100000, 150000 etc count as “barely”? Do you have even a basic knowledge of math/percentages? And what a f-ing callous thing to say regardless. We also have treatments and care that we did not have in 1919. So yeah I would certainly hope we could keep death numbers lower, but we by far have the highest death toll on Earth. So it also indicates our response being a total failure.
