If nothing happens tomorrow or Friday, then probably not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing ever took that funky track but these were back to back overrunning events, first one was all snow, 2nd one was mixed. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/1994/us0126.php https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/1994/us0127.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking more about the individual event; that year will never be replicated.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 Both GFS and GFS-AI ticked slightly further north vs. 18z. Still snowy (some ice SW) for most areas. Kind of the sweet spot right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 Wintry 5 days on the GFS! Might even squeeze in some flakes or ZR on Xmas day in the weak wave in between the Tue and Fri night events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 Not much margin for error since the cold side precipitation is unlikely to be extremely widespread. But run to run changes are decreasing in magnitude and most mid-range guidance appears to be converging on at least some wintry precip. locally. Obviously a fringing or ZR to rain are still possible but the envelope appears to be shrinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleetussnow Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 Gfs is what you want to see 5 days out. We want this thing to have wiggle room to come north. This is a weird storm though. Like some kind of atomic clipper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 Still 4 days out but the most likely scenario seems to be a period of snow... Perhaps a thump of a few inches followed by sleet and ending as drizzle. Esp sw of the city. Cold air could hold on longer east and north of the city 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 The Euro and AIFS both look great! Most of the snow falls from 7 pm Friday to 7 am Sat. Just about every model is on board, but we're still 4 days away and much can still change...but I like where we are right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks terrible verbatim for NYC which is why im assuming you didn't post it but a big hit for CT. Either way id rather have it trend in that direction than S again. Not that it means much coming from the Icon. This seems like a highly volatile situation and anomalous storm track. I don't recall any storms in the past that tracked like this giving a region wide warning event. I tried to look at CIPS but it seems they stopped running models on 12/18 for some reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocking looks really strong, you can see the shortwave get shredded as it comes east. But there's enough cold air and moisture in place before that happens for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why totals are lower but still a few inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
