Waves at Buoy 44025 are up to 21' Friday PM.   This might be more than the Jan. 04 bomb.   Really, it is because more sq. miles of ocean are churned up here with a good easterly fetch.

 Winds during the Jan 4th storm were north here hence minimal coastal impacts. I wouldn’t even use the bouy reports for that storm as they are further offshore and had some fetch to build wind waves. Waves at local beaches were minimal during that storm and consisted of longer period ESE ground swell that snuck in from the SE quadrant of the storm. Up in Boston winds were from the ENE and thus onshore and they broke their all time highest storm tide. We will be in a similar situation with this storm as they were in during Jan 4th. Luckily for coastal residents this storm isn’t going to come close to the pressures recorded in that storm and thus record storm tides here aren’t likely.

I noticed in earlier convo you mentioned the Poconos as the place to be for this upcoming event. I agree, if anyone snows its gonna be in NE PA, Prob those above 1000' in NW NJ/SE NY. New England runs a good risk of staying high and dry with this event. Shunt city..

I honestly think poconos will turn to heavy snow followed by north New Jersey and even nyc could turn into snow. The cmc depiction is a perfect example of that though on the snowmap it doesn’t show that I think all the columns cool enough for it to snow directly from dynamic cooling.

Yeah I like mt. Pocono for snow. There elevation is 2,000’ which is exceptionally high for a populated east coast location. Let’s see how things play out before we throw New England out of the mix. I’m planing on heading up to my Vermont share house Thursday night. The house is at 1600’ in the southern greens. I’m planning on snow boarding Friday at Stratton which has a peak elevation of 3875’ which should be plenty high for an all snow event. Using the anologs of March 10 and December 92 east facing slopes had tremendous accumulations due to upslope flow. It will all depend on how far south and east things end up.

Elevated areas in NE PA, NW NJ, and Orange County on north are the places to be if you want to see any snow at all out of Thurs-Fri

Catskills might be the northern extent of anything decent. Still 4 days out so anything is possible but it isn't looking too good for those up in NE

It’s looking like Anthony may have wishcasted our storm right out to sea...

Joke, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the models trend closer and more amped as we head closer as has been the seasonal trend

The Southern track is a problem because when the block eventually sets up, the system is too far offshore now. Before we were looking at a stall near the benchmark before an eventual retrograde. 

Still time to correct, but it's looking like the biggest impacts will be coastal flooding now, and primarily due to the astronomical high tides.

It’s not going to be 2” of rain above 2k. After some brief light rain to start any decent rates will bring down cold enough air for those areas to snow. There is no mid level warmth with that low track 

LOL,

The surface is almost 50 degrees. You need to be out near Mansfield, PA to see snow.

Another terrible comment. You need a break. Your posting verbatim images with zero meteorology. It’s going to snow at 2k and allot. These runs are chasing convection. This will be further Nw with a larger, greater precip field

Take the snowgoggles off.

You're not going to snow with the surface in the mid-upper 40's.

You could snow above 2k, where almost nobody in this sub-forum lives. Congrats Binghampton.

I can see areas like high point, towns in and around lake harmony pa, shawangunk ridge snow but that's exactly it... not many live there. I'm located in the extreme nw corner of the Upton CWA at 850' and I'm expecting 90% rain.

Exactly. There could be snow in the higher elevations, nobody is discounting that. But if we're focusing on local impacts within the sub-forum, this is a mostly rain event. We just haven't had much cold air to work with since the warm up in mid January. We've had a few well timed transient shots, but nothing that lasted more than a day or two.

Cragsmoor NY located about 10 mins north of Pine Bush sits on the shawangunk ridge at about 2100'. Might have to take the 25 min drive there to see some snow

That’s exactly where I’m talking about. I threw in the towel for coastal snow days ago. Hence why I bugged Anthony. 

And people do live in the Poconos. 2,000 feet is no joke. This storm screams blue bomb up there. Using the December 92 and March 10 anologs for what happens when you force a moisture laden low level jet up and over high terrain.

The track of the SLP has shifted more than 100 miles from where it was a few days ago. The red circle represents where the old track was, the black is the latest one. You can see how the strong winds stay largely offshore now as opposed to onshore, where the red line is. The surface winds are more Northerly now, which is less damaging than Easterly or Southeasterly.

Fine, but that doesn't really affect anyone in this sub-forum. We have very few posters if any that live in the Poconos, as they mostly post in the Philly forum.

Chasing convection. Let this play out before locking in a conclusion

I'm not trying to beat you up, but look at where the mid-level jet is pointed. The SLP almost always develops on the nose of the jet streak, as it's doing here. I disagree that this is convective feedback.
