REDMK6GLI Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 When I read no way the coast gets 12 I died laughing - check out the moisture train coming up from the Atlantic towards NYC , that's 3 hours of this . Plus 5 in so many spots . Don't think 12 is a problem On my radar scope that line south of LI is now producing 50dbz (bright red echos ) i can only assume when that gets up here it'll be even more impressive than this band coming through currently. 12" for the coast shouldn be a problem given how the dynamics and R/S not budging contrary to some saying its "chugging" north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpruf Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah that R/S line is still chugging north. Looks to be entering Monmouth county now as per dual pol. Yeah that R/S line is still chugging north. Looks to be entering Monmouth county now as per dual pol. It is going to changeover before anyone in the NYC area gets to 12, I don't know where people are getting that front end could be 12, when totals are 6-12 for the entire duration by forecast consensus.Whatever it gets to before the switch, right now it is deadly driving and that is the story. It is very bad out in central NJ to say the least.And enough is on the road that a change to rain may improve visibility, but it will still be a tough slog.

jm1220 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Jeez, Dual-pol showing the changeover maybe 20 miles away from me now. If that flies through here there will be a good amount of rain/sleet before the dryslot, much warmer than models even last night thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintersGrasp Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 rain sleet line chuggin north (about 25 miles shout of bk) lets hope it hits a wall Yep it's moved north....but it was modeled anyway...we should still be snow for 3 hours, and in that time is when all the fun happens 2-3" per hour. It'll easily drop 8-10", my only doubts were if we'd hit a foot in the area before a changeover....to make it clear for some. This is definitely a thump snow, and to me it's much more enjoyable than 15 hours of light snow.

n504jb Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Since last night at 10:30 p.m (I reside in Nassau County, north of Jones Beach by about 10 miles and about 2 miles north of the Southern State) Upton has changed its predicted snow amounts five times, I believe. I'm not a met, a forecaster, or know anything about models other than ANY model--every model, biological, mathematical, or physical has three problems: deletions, distortions, and generalizations. The first suggests that no model can accurately represent ALL the nuances of the real world or the thing it is modeling; the second suggests models lend themselves to having humans focus on some aspects of it to the exclusion of others, and generalization tells us models lead us to take the case for the rule. I guess what I'm suggesting is, the fact that no one really had--or still has--real confidence in how this will play out suggests this unusal constellelation of atmospheric events has exposed these problems with modeling. It's not the first time and it won't be the last but when this happens you can toss out the rule books and rule of thumbs because they may not apply to what is clearly an outlier as far as storms go in this area.

Go against the Euro, yeah that's wise particularly when the short term models agree with it. It has 15+ NYC west all as snow.

Don't think 12 is a problem Well PB I take you pretty seriously, but if the entire event is supposed to do 6-12 for the city and immediate environs, then we would have to be looking at huge amts if the back end snows come to fruition. I don't see anyone in the media saying that except for the northwest areas. Are they all just out to lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
