models have gotten worse over the  years maybe due to changing climate..

te vortex was more of a hindrance then  help for the nyc area..

The trof axis for the upcoming series of storms looks relatively far west - looks like an ice or rain type setup. If we're lucky it will trend snowier. But we might have run out of our luck for this winter.

you cant be serious..

Remember feb 2007 ? March 2007?

It is certainly possible  

are you talking about the 12 hour sleet storm we had in nyc?

blame the position of the polar vortex..

It's 50 degrees here.  Warmest day in over a month.  Seems high, could be the sun but I do have a radiation shield around the sensor.

i noticed when i was out waiting for the street light to change how bright the sun looked and how warm it felt sun angle is increasing...

craig allen is calling for 4-8 for the city and 6-12 for down the jersey shore and east across long island..

Yep a Thumper! I remember an 8 incher in a short window but cant remember when.

i remember in feb 1994 on a tuesday in nyc we had 8 inches in a very short time then 3 days later on a friday we got almost 14 inches in the city..

Now the Central Park report makes sense...The NWS PNS has the 15.3 as of 4pm...not 1pm...that I can believe

13.3 inches as of 1:00pm and between 1 and 2 pm it snowed really heavy in the park hard to believe only 2 inches of snow in those 3 hours

EWR at 15 now...NYC is likely around 16-17

the city was 13.3 at 1:oo pm and between 1and 2 in the city it was snowing at 2 inches a hours so i am guessing nyc is about 16;5 inches as of 4:00pm

I highly doubt it. 20” could be doable but not 27.5” which is the record. 

yesterday you was doubtful nyc would reach anything close to 20 inches

Reminds me of Boxing Day in the metro region, though that storm plastered coastal areas with the worst ( I think Brick had 36 inches, as did Elizabeth ). It just kept pivoting over the city IIRC.

winds was stronger in the boxing day storm and that storm was all snow their was no chance of any mixing in the city/ also a side not e the sanitation workers had a slow down during the blizzard that why some streets were not plowed for days..

Remember when I said I never want blocking ever again ? Without it , this would have been a cutter.

Mjo812 fail

i had similar thoughts..

as Lloyd lindsay young use to say on his weather forecast  heavy heavy snow..

channel 7  accuweather and news 4 ny are now calling for 12-18 for the city..

This GFS run was a good bit more amped/west than the last one especially with the mid level lows. This run has the 700 low over Bucks County PA which is west enough that verbatim the dry slot can make it east of the city pretty quickly. Of course it's great west of the city but here it's not ideal and would probably mean east of the city stays under a foot. 

all day you been the glass half empty for the city..

should have been blizzard warnings issued at 4 pm.

So  WABC mets have to follow accuweather's script verbatim? They can't progosticate on their own?

lee goldberg has a mind of his own..
