Wxbear25 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Man, Long Island is on a razors edge. Close enough where its still feasible a small change in track makes a huge difference but still, models almost always underdo mid-level warmth and low-level cold. I'm sticking with a general 8-12 island wide though... counting on the thump coming in like a banshee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a ton of moisture coming north and being lifted. There’s going to be a 6-8hr window where rates are at least 1” per hour. From about 15z to 00z.

MarcmmKU Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 58 minutes ago, Rmine1 said: Can’t catch a break. Rain is slowly making its way into the conversation, especially for LI. Hard to believe given the arctic airmass ahead of it, but we’ve seen this happen before. Just goes to show that getting the perfect storm is nearly impossible for the immediate coast. and yet Florida pulls a 10" right down to the beaches. We are so effing cursed lmfaooo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top off the snow-ruining implications, it just sounds gross. If I never heard the term again it wouldn't be soon enough. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prue11 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Can we all just relax and enjoy what we get. We are all going to see a 6”+ event in the tri state area with the exception of maybe far southern coastal Jersey. A few model runs and more and more people are ready to throw in the towel. I’m grateful to even be tracking this storm where last year we sat here with noting to look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat5hurricane Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 53 minutes ago, Jt17 said: 18z is a waste of time imo. 12z and 0z usually tell the picture. I liked 12z today - hopefully 0z is less all over the place . I was going to say this. 18z and 6z are generally pretty wonky, I'd put more stock into the 12z and 0z runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely do we have storms on LI that do not get the warm nose That seems anecdotal, more than anything. Surface temps are almost always an issue on LI, save for storms like this with a frigid antecedent airmass and a high which, while not perfectly positioned, will still help to turn winds more northerly than otherwise. Regardless, in this particular storm LI is basically the northern extent of the warm nose, so a small shift south will make a difference. In a system where the warm air is forecast to blast into CT 2 days out, you're more or less screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 All this long island debbie downer talk is silly. We are likely headed to a 40" plus season. We've had many great all snow blizzards in the past 2 decades. If you want to live somewhere that gets all snow events for the 5 days a year it matters, go for it. Otherwise, enjoy whatever comes. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a system where the warm air is forecast to blast into CT 2 days out, you're more or less screwed. Absolutely anecdotal. I’ve seen this movie plenty of times. The warm nose or tongue is disregrded 4/5 days out because “the airmass is so cold” only for it to show up inside of 48 hours and dramatically alter the expected outcome. A lot of things have to occur in order for LI to have an all snow event. For context, I’m in Melville LI 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
