Euro beefed up amounts

Euro supports warning level snow for basically all of the metro area, cold temps at onset you’d think you could get some decent ratios.

Too good to be true - but liking where we’re sitting right now

4-8 inches according to euro? This is great news

tbh, I think this is a reminder to us that not everyone knows what they’re talking about completely. They’re just making educated guesses with a large margin for error.

Not saying anyone is hilariously wrong, but we often neglect the margin for error.

I remeber hearing the quote "historic torch coming" regarding Christmas Week about ten days ago. Things do change in ten days.

I'm going to say something before the models change and I can't say it anymore:  At this point my area is one of the least likely parts of the greater NYC metro to have mixing issues this Friday/Saturday.

Is it too early to ask for the timing for the storm on Dec 26-27? Not worried about totals yet.

It's obviously subject to change, but there's a decent consensus that it'll start Friday late afternoon/early evening.

Think its dinner time or thereafter on Friday at this point.

God, this area loves Boxing Day storms. Once in my life I want a true White Christmas - I’m talking snow in the air, snow on the ground, active beauty, not the nonsense that “counts.”

Boxing Day has December’s highest frequency of measurable snow days.

Yeah, most long range forecasts, after the previous snow, said no more chances until after New Years...

Someone even said we’d be wearing shorts

I'm not sure what it would take, but I think New York City has to move Christmas to the 26th, the historical difference is stark. Sorry Kwanza.

Jan was the only snowfall that year. Had around 4-5". The late Feb storm busted and crushed AC and va beach 

was it on a weekend? i don't remember it; i vaguely remember the guy at the boatyard complaining there was snow on the boat so he couldn't work on it; my hull had delaminated. he was located in brick....i got the company, stratos, to spring for a new boat, as the hull was under warranty....

well, there is this strange habit among a number of young men these days to wear shorts all year round; drives teachers crazy.

I liked the random username that popped up with the Gmail address embedded within. I think the aforementioned username was pushing shorts.

Doesn't look like the Christmas torch is going to happen. It's an obvious example of climate change.

Reminds me someone needs to do a welfare check on forky.  Maybe MJO can head over in his squad car and knock make sure he’s alright.

Ant should move up here to my area. Or Warwick, Pine Island, Goshen, etc.. It's a haven for active and retired NYPD and FDNY. I know several of them.
