  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Tons of dry air as it encounters confluence and the wave itself dampens out under the block. Essentially gets squeezed to nothing.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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”.
  10. 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
  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.
  12. Not a huge deal11!1!!! Only about 1800 or so of those maybe are under age 80 and would be dead soon anyway.
  13. 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.
  14. The new strain has likely been here for months.
  15. Terrible. That’s what happened here in April.
  16. 1/3/18 was one of the most ferocious blizzards I’ve been in for sure.
  17. CA would have to roughly double its hospitalization numbers to make it to NY’s per capita since CA has almost double the population. But of course the outbreak in April was largely focused down here in the NYC area and the rest of the state wasn’t affected as much.
  18. Good thing this snowpack is so water logged. It’ll hang on as long as it can. Irrelevant if this Xmas Eve 70 mph southerly wind event happens I guess lol.
  19. Geez, the snow might not get melted as much as blown away lol
  20. Just NY was nearly 1000 deaths per day at one point although we didn’t have the capabilities we have now. Especially now with CA hospitals full and still turning in 30000 cases per day, could get really bad soon.
  21. Dec is typically when we’d get snowstorms in a Nina so this is evolving the way a Nina should. There’s been more blocking than some predicted which is great, but we have to keep that in place especially since part 2 of Nina winters are usually warm and snowless here.
  22. First time for sure I heard thundersnow. Absolutely incredible rates. I was in Long Beach then-2 towns over reported 16”. Believable.
