Wxbear25 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Just now, WeatherGeek2025 said: I'd rather have GFS by my side than Euro since their upgrade a few years back! Dubious, at best, but you do you. Regardless, if anything I feel better having at least one model showing what the GFS is. Would love to see some more models head that way, some of which have been gradually moving towards a colder solution but still need work Still plenty of time, here’s to a GFS coup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Upton spends alot of time and energy fine tuning the wind forecast for the western LI Sound. people think the sound is sheltered waters; its about as sheltered as the great lakes.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Point and click has me at 17 inches in suffolk, i think that's way too high...my best guess for here is 9-10" of snow/ice. Upton is being very aggressive. They must be banking on the early transfer and wrap around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bxstormwatcher360 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Talking about waters that are cold,even with a southerly wind, temps dont rise as fast due to cooler waters. It would have been in the mid 50's today if this was late nov early dec. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No amount of cold waters will offset that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may not jackpot, but I’m extremely confident in 6” at minimum. Upside of this is like 15-20, but if had to pick a general range for the Island right now I’d go 8-12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 22 minutes ago, jm1220 said: It transfers it earlier/further south which keeps the mid level warm air away. And puts us in a pivot zone where we don’t dry slot and the coastal snow takes over. That’s another consequence of a primary driving into Buffalo-the 700mb layer dries out and we get the dry slot. GFS has been consistent I’ll give it that. Need to see the other models move towards it before I bite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was early December theres no way LI and probably even NYC wouldn't flip to rain in this setup so timing here is beneficial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 31 minutes ago, greenmtnwx said: I have a home in VT and spend a good part of the year there and travel through New England. Aside from the northern greens, lake belts and parts of the Adirondacks it hasn’t been a great season. Maybe average, below in some areas. Not great in Mass, NH or ME. Even the central greens, Killington etc not great. Cold yes, storm systems and above average snow, not so much. That's why I specifically mentioned the northern Dacks and northern VT. My point was that when that area scores, we usually don't and vice versa. It's possible for Mt. Snow and NYC to share a good snowstorm but much less likely with Stowe and NYC.

jm1220 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I’m glad that the “low end” RGEM still gets us with 6-8” at 10-1 with the overrunning surge and we have the high end GFS/UKMET with 12”+. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but this also isn't a typical storm like we've seen with tight gradients, this is a very widespread snow event, lots of cold, lots of moisture to spread the wealth so to speak.

eduggs Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I feel like the GFS is just torturing us. It's hard to unsee widespread 20" clown maps, which would make 7" of snow/sleet to dryslot while BGM and ALB snows for 30 hrs more annoying. Storm after storm this year the GFS has been an outlier until under 48 hours. If only we had any confidence in the model... but maybe it will do better this time around with more southern stream involvement. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
