The 1/2017 storm was odd in that a LP which originated off FL managed to come N enough to impact us, nobody had ever seen that before, if we see the same happen again and get a substantial snow event out of it it just adds to the list of odd things we see that we never used to

That was all jet dynamics. The models did not handle the upper jet well at all leading up to it. Within 12-24 hours out the GFS i remember finally picked up on the amplification of the jet and we had excellent right entrance lift from a departing 160-180 kt. The flatter solutions leading up to the event led to models to have precip offshore.

Was that the 12 hr blizzard where we had whiteout conditions all day?

I loved that storm, I consider if a half sized version of January 2016 lol

Seems to be caving.. and we're not done yet.  GFS too.  Event hasn't happened so will have to wait til 00z/17 to know for sure.  I continue with the RGEM/GGEM/NAM/HRRR blend.  If the Canadian drops it... then its over. 

 

Some of the modeling is showing 6+".  axis should be near I95 or just northwest but we'll see.  Definitely higher fluffier powdery snow ratios inland.  Staying with 1-3" NYC...but no guarantee 1".

The NW trend used to be our friend, now it’s that annoying neighbor. At this point, anything that is better than a 1:1 snow ratio is a win. Unfortunately I think the “immediate” coast will be skunked

A friend of mine who is a former NWS met said on a sports message board I frequent that, "The NBM is the starting pt for all NWS fcsts." You can tell he used to write AFDs by his abbreviations, lol. Anyway here's the regional NWS forecast (which I like better than the separate Philly and NYC office maps) and the NBM 19Z forecast which are nearly identical.  Would be nice for these to verify and break those friggin' <1" streaks and it would also be nice to get at least 1-2" or more of snow and have it be around all week, given temps will struggle to get above 32F through next weekend.  And it would be awesome to get more snow then...

It’s looking to me like there’s a pretty low ceiling for us city and east-either a weak snow event or a stronger snow to rain or mostly rain event. Nothing to really force a SE track if it does get stronger so if it strengthens beyond a 1-3” type event it would be more NW and rain here because it amps too much.

A general 1" to perhaps 3" snowfall still appears likely for Philadelphia to Boston. There is a possibility that somewhat more snow could fall in and around the Boston area. There remains some uncertainty, but the guidance has been converging on a solution.

I am going with the trend is your friend. The trend has been no snow for NYC and points east. I say no snow for the Tuesday event, other than maybe a coating, for NYC.
 

Uh ? The trend is shifting west slightly

The mean is highest for LI and Southeast Mass
