The haha emoji replies have been great.  When I see them as I read through the thread it's like there's a laugh track now.

I mean look-we have 10+ inches of hardened snow on the ground and huge piles in every parking lot that will last into March, and bays/rivers all freezing over. If this one misses there will be another. It’s as deep winter here as you could ever ask for.

Yep almost time to throw the towel. There will be more chances of snow ahead.

I heard something about the Polar Vortex coming in hot due to SSW. The usual suspects. I'm looking outside at the icy Hudson right now and wondering how much lower we can go in temperatures. Soon we're going to need icebreakers. I don't see a day above freezing in the 10 day outlook at all.

[eduggs]

This ribbon of vorticity keeps trending south on all guidance even as some models continue to deepen the ULL and negatively tilt the trof axis. You need that ribbon arcing up through southern Ontario for the SLP to gain latitude. The trend is a beautiful thing for an eastern VA/NC blizzard. But it screams OTS further up the coast.

I don't know why some folks think this is going to be set in stone after todays model runs - review the AFD's posted from Don for the Boxing Day storm less then 3 days in advance of the onset of precip

I love your optimism. I truly wonder though... why do we chase storms on here to just stare at different radars to look at echos and DBZ? Does anybody in here just go outside and enjoy the snow when it falls?

1/28 12z euro total qpf

 

still close enough to watch for a light snowfall and at best / overperforming few inches over the next 72 hours

This was the chance for historic snow depths and cold. There are no obvious snow threats beyond this one on the horizon but it looks seasonably cold and northern-stream dominated. We'll probably have some snow chances in February, but the month is the beginning of melt season.

EPS would still be a 6-8" snowfall for LI and NJ coast

[mikem81]

FWIW, the 12Z EURO was much better than 0Z just not as good as the off run 6Z or prior 18Z 

[donsutherland1]

Little has changed since 6z. The deep 500 mb low that is forecast to develop will track through Alabama, Georgia and then out to sea. That's too far to the south to allow for an appreciable snowfall in the New York City area. A lighter snowfall remains plausible. 

The 12z Guidance:

Some of the synoptic details are still subject to change. The guidance should be growing more skillful in resolving the synoptic details through the day today and especially tomorrow.

And the NBM got a little snowier over the last 3 runs and is still way snowier than any model for reasons I don't understand given the inputs - maybe someone here has hacked it?
