jm1220 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Can't trust either the RGEM or NAM yet. Looking forward to hopefully an improvement on the GFS. Doesn't have to show a bomb quite yet but definitely want an improvement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a 6 inch storm for the NYC area on the RGEM, far less than NAM. Still a little early to take models like RGEM and NAM very seriously though.

Snowlover11 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The biggest 12z GFS run of our lives coming up. I got the snow blower on my right and the baseball bat on my left for the outcome. In all seriousness you want to see the gfs tend towards the nam and euro here even if its slight improvements. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moisture coming into this storm will be absurd if the capture/partial stall really does happen. I definitely see 30" happening somewhere in a scenario like that. Of course if it's progressive and doesn't happen that'll be overstated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Dynamics are crucial to what happens in our area and the NAM showed them to be very favorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't here for the January 2016 blizzard, but the Boxing Day Blizzard was amazing. One of my favorite all-time storms. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be closer to 10:1 due to very strong winds...if you're further inland with more frictional impacts ratios would be higher. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVSnowLover Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Looks like we are moving somewhat closer to a consensus of a 6-12 type event in the immediate metro area. KU still possible but would say lower probability, a total whiff is definitely still possible too but also lower probability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodsworth Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 moved to Philly burbs from Los Angeles two months before Winter Storm Jonas. Loved it. Been waiting ever since for another whopper. It's been excruciating! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat5hurricane Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The low was virtually in the same position on the rgem with maybe a slight tick east, it's just that the precip was more expansive on the 6z. Just like with the Nam, take with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impact of wind on ratios is real. We had 12" of sand on Boxing Day. I'll have to go check my records, but the snow:water ratio was less than 10:1. Of course we were east of the killer deform, but the winds were gusting frequently 50 - 60+ here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Gfs is holding back more energy. This should be more east. It's hard to take the Euro seriously here since it has no support except for the Long range Nam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat5hurricane Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The GFS jumped way east at 72 hours but it looks wonky because the low jumped straight east from 60 to 66 hours. Don't know what to make of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
