+SNfreak21 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Why would you discount the NAM when its in range and the storm is highly dynamic? This reminds me of 1/27/11 quite a bit in terms of dynamics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 What? Everyone knows the NAM is usually too high with QPF amounts. That usually happens for most winter storms. You have to cut the QPF that NAM shows. The NAM in this case is maybe 0.10 or so higher than the consensus. The NAM isn't showing something ridiculous like it did yesterday.

PB GFI Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 At 1 inch we are prob at the top of end of where could go . But 20 to 1 at some point is possible So depend ending on when the best snow growth occurs will tell you what u get But if 1 inch does fall I do believe that's 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxEngine Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 You don't know what you're talking about. The QPF looks spot on. Can you please, just TRY to tone it down when disagreeing? These threads have handled the ups and downs the last 18 hrs pretty well. No need for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 This is solidly a 6-12" event and painfully close to being much, much more than that. Another shift west and I think ur right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxEngine Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Meh, new WSW for NYC is very, very bearish. NO change to accumulations and not a mention of near-blizzard conditions.

simpsonsbuff Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Perhaps I'm nuts, but it seems to me 24 hrs+ out (arguably 30 hrs+) from the heaviest accumulation, it would be wise to have a slightly wider range than the two inch range of Upton. Say 5-9 or 6-10... not 6-8 or 8-10. Give yourself a greater MoE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Another shift west and I think ur right biggest thing 18z gfs and on we have to look for is this thing not to kick east and taking the best dynamics with it and off shore. like yanksfan said this is tantalizingly close to being ALOT bigger than forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Even if the totals are juiced by 10-20% for the location of the storm, the placement looks very close to the other models now. A 0z shift west would justify higher totals than todays other guidance came in with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbc Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Meh, new WSW for NYC is very, very bearish. NO change to accumulations and not a mention of near-blizzard conditions. Plus, they did not lower the forecast low of 9 degrees for Sat AM. Agree. They actually knocked down the top end of accumulations from 9 to 8 but bumped it from 5 to 6 on the low end. It's not too bearish but surely not very bullish. They are usually content to bump totals as they go along with a lot of these coastals. It's ok with me I guess lol.

IsentropicLift Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 This is probably the best we could have hoped for in what is truly a progressive pattern. The trough never really goes negative tilt and the low gets going a hair late and a hair southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailstorm Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It states "near blizzard conditions" and a lack of change doesnt mean its "very bearish". They should have at least issued Blizzard watches (but not warnings for uncertainty) for NYC's 5 boroughs and coastal CT along with the blizzard warnings for LI. And I think a range of 8-12" for NE NJ/NYC and 12-16" for LI would be more prudent according to the latest models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
