Is there really that much of a gap in terms of storm placement between the models?

Remember the NAM led the way with JAN 2016 too, it generally does the best with the biggest storms.

 

Personally, I need the euro at 6z onboard with the NAM solution to take it seriously.

Well either NAM off its meds, or GFS unable to cope with bipolar disorder? 

That would not be all that big a deal for many places apart from se MA. 

I don't pretend to know which of these is closer to reality, RGEM suggests GFS is but maybe Euro will have other ideas.

Hope they reach a consensus before the storm actually begins.

Does the GFS have the 30-40 inch snowfall in SE MA? I mean either way it's a historic event, the only difference is who it's historic for.

STATEMENT FROM BERNIE RAYNO (LOL, I always wanted to write that): I have seen this many times in the past. You ride the NAM on this, it isn't perfect and will likely be overdone in some areas, but overall it will out perform the GFS and EURO. Twitter live at 5:45 am.

RAP at 9z which goes out to 51 hours was nuts as well, similar to the NAM but 30 miles east with the heavy snow. For what that's worth-probably not much since it's a short range model. Hi-res RGEM got a little weaker/further east from last run. Models may still be having issues with the possible double barreled low and working with convection (doesn't mean it isn't real or hallucination).

For we in the north and west, impressive moves in the most recent runs, yet the inner weenie screaming inside can’t help but notice the 20” drop off from NYC out to Bridgewater on the NAM. I mean, that’s about 25 miles as the crow flies; highlights the sharp-cut off that has been modeled for days. Oh well you guys East are going to get crushed!!!
I want to see a “mother of god” post; it’s been too long.
….back to containing the weenie thoughts internally. 

Do you think we get plowable snow in Morris County?

I'm still wondering if the double barrel low is bogus. If so then the storm will shift more west

Euro is about to start 

Isn't this the type of feature mesoscale models are supposed to figure out better than the global models?

From OKX AFD:

Have converted all winter weather watches to warnings,
and issued a winter weather advisory for Orange County, NY with all
this in mind. In addition, have elected to hold off on any blizzard
headlines at this time for eastern LI and southern CT, the areas
that are most likely to meet blizzard criteria. Given the increased
forecast confidence in only these latest runs, would prefer one more
cycle for that upgrade. Regardless, near blizzard conditions are
possible for eastern LI and southern CT for a period on Saturday
afternoon with this system.

Winds will also be an issue as the system nears the area as strong
northeast flow dominates as the system deepens in our vicinity. Gusts
to 35-45 mph are likely for a period Saturday afternoon, especially
for the coastal areas, where occasionally higher gusts are possible.
So near blizzard conditions are possible, especially near the coast,
where winds/gusts will be most frequent.
