I have never seen an event that had 3-6" on grass and little to nothing on the roads. To me- this goes one way or the other- either rates overcome insolation or they don't. If 3-6" falls on grass, the roads are getting covered. If it's light snow, it's wet roads and an inch or two elsewhere.

Did you go to the Blarney stone for lunch ?

 

.5 falls a frozen @ KNYC

 

Blarney Stone is all closed up my friend (at least the one on 3rd Ave in the 40s).  I don't care if 1.5" falls frozen in the park, you won't see meaningful accumulations until closer to dusk unless we are seeing 1-2"/hr rates consistently.

.5 frozen falls inside 6 hours. So rates will b better than that.

When I started at my former job around the corner from there in 2011 I used to stop there for some cheap brews and watch old drunk guys get rowdy and get thrown out. :lol: Good times

A former coworker loved going there for lunch.  Of course, he was one of those old guys too.  All those bars are pretty hilarious from about 2pm on.

I always wonder what the "OLD" GFS would have looked like it situations like these. I remember when the GFS and upgrade were running in-sync and we could compare the two. Both models would have vastly different outcomes at times and the old GFS would be inline with other global models while the upgrade would be out to lunch and on its own.

 

Now we can do it all over again with the ECMWF.

 

FWIW the Parallel EC is a tick farther south than the OP and has less QPF, not much but a little. It feels like just looking at one of the ensemble members.

What do you think about this storm

You think we are going to see better than 2 inch per hour rates? That's doubtful, this isn't a miller a barreling up the coast

I think 3 - 5 fall with .5  these are 8 to 1 rates . Not 5 to 1 pal .

 

18z GFS Bufkit  for LGA has 6.4" of snow out of .73

 

Nice attempted ratio estimation , what else you got ?

 

 I have to be honest I am really shocked that you continue to post after all your silly blown non snow posts over the last 45 days .

 

I can pull 10 posts of yours 2 days before each 4 to 6 inch event and we can all watch you bust on every one of them

Is this a typical heavy wet snow that we see in March? if so it probably won't be too bad on treated roads, but people might still have to shovel the driveway.Or just wait a day. If it snows in March, nature takes care of it....seem to remember one in March 04 that was worse than progged and we had to shut the schools early in NJ. Same with the April 03 storm. Got pics of the kids with lilies in the snow....
