Lmao. I know the set ups are completely different. It’s just been a while since we’ve had a miller A work out in our favor

Let's just stomp this idea out right now.  This is not going to cut.  The closest we would get is a coastal runner, and that's going to be a dry(er) solution for most - and is not likely with a 530 DAM isobar over Kentucky.  No.

I hope you’re correct, and you know more than I do. My main concern would be a thaw + rain.

Better chance of OTS  than cutting

I got 30” on LI

Big one for me in CT was Nemo in 2013. 40”

I think the biggest uncertainty we're going to have with this system is the energy coming from northern Canada. That has a lot to interact with over the next few days as it does a 360 degree loop over James Bay.

Yeah 30” for me during that one on LI

IMO, this remains a closer call than with the most recent storm where I believed it would not be suppressed. I still think the most likely scenarios are either up the coast (track and distance from the coast to be determined) or out-to-sea (lesser probability). The scenario of an inland cutter is probably the lowest probability right now. This is based on the forecast pattern. Synoptic details can't be resolved accurately at this timeframe. We'll see where things are by Wednesday or Thursday.

For NYC have any 2 storms on record had accumulations over 10 inches each within a week of each other ?

New York City has seen just one 10" or above snowstorm one week or less following a 10" or above snowstorm: February 3-4, 1926 (10.4") and February 9-10, 1926 (12.4"). The shortest interval between 10" or above daily snowfalls is 14 days: March 2, 1896 (10.0") and March 16, 1896 (12.0"). Records go back to 1869.

Hi Tat, I remember you from the old NYC Metro forum.

While reminiscing...how did you do with the great [forgotten]storm of 1978?  Third week of January(?).  It was a blown forecast; it was supposed to change to rain.

I got 16 inches, here.  Ended with a period of freezing rain/drizzle which left a shiny glaze on the surface.  I wish I had a photo.

So this would be a once in a   lifetime event(s) 2 MECS so close together

It was maybe Central Park so safe to round to 10

Yes, assuming it occurs.

If this storm hits the way it looks, this would be a HECS.

Central Park and JFK Airport had < 10". LaGuardia had 10".

I would assume that never happened in recorded history within a week of each other - in NYC. BUT it p[robably happened way back when in that area - Maybe when Moses was still wearing short pants........

Well just because Central Park can't, there's a much bigger forum area out there that can.

We could end up with a moderate event say 4-6 inches-that's on the table too

This is NOT where you wana be 5/6 days out lol. This will end up a cutter if this trends anything like ANY big storm ever

I wouldn't say every big storm has trended that way.

yes the odds would favor that you would think - BUT it still can be a MECS at least can't discount it yet IMO

[Brian5671]

2/5/10 and 2/9/10 was a close miss....
