  1. even better. holy crap. a touch more confluence and a stronger, farther S shortwave
  2. nah BDB was definitely an A. came right up from the GoM. luckily it occluded right over us
  3. yeah, it hinges on the block, IMO. if that trends weaker, the positive shifts today completely reverse as it'll speed up the flow and lead to a less amped and warmer solution. if it trends stronger, the system slows and ticks S, putting a SNE-HV-NYC bomb on the table in terms of the second piece, I think we want to see that half-assed Plains ridging tick up in strength. if it does, there's a greater chance that the second piece dives in, phases, and bring the potential through the roof. the ECMWF seemed increase the strength of it at 12z also, the off-hour EPS runs are in range, which is huge. those are a real blessing
  4. the GEFS is much more favorable... pretty big shift to the EPS with a lot more confluence. increases the snow mean by a ton as a result this is easily the best threat the NYC metro has had all winter. beats late December by a mile
  5. this is easily the best threat for CNE/SNE towards NYC that we've had all winter. not close hopefully we can hold until it's within 4-5 days
  6. FWIW i do think this is thread worthy. but why does it have to be prefaced like that
  7. GEFS has much more confluence than 12z and a more amped S/W. the GEFS usually follows the GFS at this range, but i’ll take it. it’s a good shift
  8. one more shift like this and NYC-BOS is hammered. the block is slowing down and amplifying the flow
  9. everyone is going to win here. wow wow wow.
  10. this is a definitive shift towards the ECMWF. stronger block forcing more confluence. S/W is more amped as well. all things we want to see
  11. not to get off topic, but I actually rank 2016 as a good to great winter. can't be a bad winter when you have a record-breaking blizzard IMO. just doesn't make sense to me but also, we don't really have snowpack or anything like that in NYC, so it's more of a bonus than anything... the lack of other snow doesn't bother me there
  12. because it's the least skillful and it has a noticeable progressive bias with coastals I don't think anyone is discounting it, it's just that the EPS is holding strong, we're getting to 5 days, and other models are moving towards it. the GFS can be put on the backburner in those situations
  13. EPS made some good changes here slightly stronger 50/50, which leads to the block nudging further W slightly higher heights over the SW US - increases amplitude of the incoming S/W then there's also a stronger and more E lobe of vorticity N of MT that increases phasing potential the blossoming of riding in SE Canada north of the S/W is also indicative of a blocking regime... it can't gain latitude like that and is then forced to redevelop offshore. this is getting close to looking really damn good. give it a few more days this kind of setup favors New England, but potent Miller B setups can still deliver significant snow to the NYC metro. there are a bunch of <990mb members
  14. this type of setup can impact NYC to Boston. I would feel worse if I was in Philly, but many Miller Bs do heavily impact that axis. would be a bit silly to count the NYC metro out at this range I feel like this is the straw that breaks the back of persistence
  15. this is the feature that I'm referring to, btw, if it was unclear. this essentially prevents the S/W from gaining latitude and forces it to go offshore. this feature was more downstream of the S/W yesterday, causing it to gain latitude rather than where it is now
  16. and look at those redevelopers as a result. sheesh. this is easily the best look that we've had at this range all year
  17. yup, EPS made some good changes here slightly stronger 50/50, which leads to the block nudging further W slightly higher heights over the SW US - increases amplitude of the incoming S/W then there's also a stronger and more E lobe of vorticity N of MT that increases phasing potential the blossoming of riding in SE Canada north of the S/W is also indicative of a blocking regime... it can't gain latitude like that and is then forced to redevelop offshore. this is getting close to looking really damn good. give it a few more days
  18. I agree. this has to do with the development of the -NAO and the semi-permanent confluence that it's forcing as a result. the synoptic evolution makes sense I'm excited for the EPS
  19. that's ok. I'll roll the dice with that setup. that 50/50 and -NAO is essential for a larger storm, so it's good to see that
  20. not even over yet. I mean holy shit, this synoptic setup is pretty great a true -NAO with a massive 50/50 suppressing heights over the NE US. might cut verbatim, but that's what you want to see for a larger coastal
  21. i do like this. huge 50/50 and -NAO dipole with a S/W coming out of the SW US. might not work verbatim, but there are some big pieces here
  22. nice was an understatement. that is a full blown blizzard verbatim
