Possible Record Breaking Cold + Snow Sunday 1/25 - Tuesday 1/27

[WeatherGeek2025]

I've seen enough, i'm making my forecast completely based on the Euro AI model. I think it's the best model and it hasn't wavered at all for this storm or the last one! I will add the the ratio on this so we're getting 1.2 corbin going with 15:1 on my forecast so Central park is getting 18 inches

I've tracked storms long enough to 4 days is still an eternity for things to change. I will say given the wide swath of precip and depth of the cold there's enough wiggle room in all directions where I can't see that much going wrong with this.

I'm not gonna say it's impossible because in this set up, they could get near 18 inches. What is impossible is them ever accurately measuring 18 inches. Especially in a long duration storm, they usually f up as only they can.

Even the steam grate CP measures their snow on top of should be frozen this time.

I wonder if models are holding onto the primary too long. 

[Franklin0529]

Storm starts in what 90 hrs? Beautiful place to be. Biggest snow storm in 10 years

[Winterweatherlover]

Looks like temps start in the single digits during the storm, max out in the mid 20s in NYC.

Doubt it'll top January 28-29 for us coasties. Had 20.5" here, but everyone will get to enjoy this one

The ECMWF is 12-18 hours of snow then light mix/dryslot with possibly some steadier mix or snow at the tail end. That would include a very solid "thump."

Depending on the wind direction, do you think that even the mid 20's might be overdoing it?

The soundings I am seeing across the models are incredibly cold

 

[Jt17]

GFS and Euro AI would be a lot more fun than this run of the Euro. All the whining that the dryslot arrived too soon and it it's drizzling even after 10-12 inches of snow would be annoying. lol

Only if the upper levels as depicted are too amped. If future runs are a little "flatter," the primary will weaken sooner.

[WeatherGeek2025]

is there an app i could use to make a professional snowmap?

[TriPol]

I'm gonna get weenie tagged for this, but...

With over 1 inch of precip, temps in the single digits, teens and 20s...

I think this is underdone. I think NYC gets 18 to 24 inches if we get over 1 inch of precip. Other factors will, of course, be the wind and the thermal profile, especially how quickly the column cools once rates increase and whether we get sustained banding.

 

[brooklynwx99]

everything still looks good here for a significant snowfall, some sleet potential at the end when precip is dying down notwithstanding

That would be the biggest storm in years. If you're complaining about that then find a new hobby

The ECM and CMC show upper 20s at NYC late Sunday night. With flatter solutions a day ago, this was low 20s.

I'm not going to complain. I'm telling you what's going to happen in this forum because it happens every time.

what do you mean by making? There are free websites that offer premium services, like pivotalweather, and tropicaltidbits to view weather model maps. Not sure about making one.
