Winterweatherlover Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I know the NAM has nailed warm tounge events well, on the contrary has it had any significant fails in this situation in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowlover11 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Nam is on its own currently pushing the mixing that far north. Lets see the rest of 0z before bridge jumping here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make the argument for cmc rgem Ukie rap hrrr euro ai euro they haven’t wavered They could still be right. We’ll see what they say at 0z then I’d say it’s time to look at radar trends and start to buy more into the short range models. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestBabylonWeather Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It is quite frustrating that this is the coldest airmass storm for us in a decade? And we are discussing precip type. Crash out type stuff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t your normal heavy snow setup for NYC. It’s a typical Nina SWFE that has a better antecedent overrunning dome than normal putting more of us in the game for an initial thump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv88 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 3 minutes ago, MJO812 said: Nams snow depth is higher than kuchera and 10:1 Now that make sense. 4.5” of snow leads to a snow depth of 6.5”… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 3 minutes ago, MJO812 said: Nams snow depth is higher than kuchera and 10:1 The snow depth might be counting the sleet that’s on the ground in addition to the snow. With the amount of liquid total vs snow amount it shows there could be 2-3” additional as sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warming probably comes from the southeast with the coastal for eastern LI but that's only very late in the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dseagull Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Haven't chimed in on this one much until now. While total snowfall depths are often the hot topic of debate, this storm (in our subforum,) is going to be known for something entirely different near the city and coastal plains. Mixing, even over to a brief light rain or snizzle, is only going to make the freeze and frozen concrete worse. The crashing reinforcement of cold air on Monday is going to absolutely be the headline. Id much rather have to deal with 12-18 inches of powder than what we are likely going to have to deal with. You cant shovel chunks of frozen snow in 10-20 degree temps. Been there, done that. This storm is going to delay many construction projects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasiluvsnow Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 A question,,,,,,,,we have heard about how the NAM can sniff out these warm layers BUT why is it that no other model is able to do this in past scenarios,,,,,IS there another model that has a decent track record of doing this other than the dreaded NAM ?
