It would be historical to get another big storm this quickly so not sure what will happen. If it misses the general public will say it was overhyped/bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said overhyped happens too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is way out to sea. I’m encouraged by the GEFS but I want to see the EPS make a significant shift west with its mean today. why today ? I think we will be spinning our wheels today with the ops and ensembles arguing with themselves and with others - one other thing need to get that kicker out of the picture and the trough to go more negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will be spinning our wheels today with the ops and ensembles arguing with themselves and with others I’m not expecting a final solution. Just would like to see a correction away from the out to sea option. A big factor is the storm as modeled is occluding south of us. That’s something else to look for on future modeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikem81 Posted Tuesday at 01:40 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:40 PM Can anyone on here intelligently explain why this may or may not come the up the coast or go OTS? What are the main players on the field here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNJSnowman Posted Tuesday at 01:50 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:50 PM 26 minutes ago, NEG NAO said: The EPS from last night showed a few inches - what evidence do you have that it will be all or nothing ? Honestly, I'm not that knowledgeable so mostly relying on the many mets in the various subforums here who have been honking about the potential for something big in this time period That said, I do understand forecasting/analysis (in general, not specifically for weather) and there's a big difference between ensembles averaging 3" because they have 25% of solutions at 12" and 75% (all or none) at 0" vs. average 3" because 75% of solutions have 4" and 25% at 0" (2-4/3-6 storm). My impression is that they've been closer to the former for this storm. Anytime you're looking at an aggregation of solutions, the distribution is going to include a lot of information that gets obscured if you just look at the average. All that said, I do agree with you that we're not really going to know what's going on here until later in the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted Tuesday at 02:00 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:00 PM We do need it to dig a little less and occlude later. On these models that boot it out it occludes very early and then bounces east. It needs to gain some latitude before occluding. I would assume those tucked in models dig it less and occlude it a little later. We also need to watch the shortwave over the upper Midwest-it can act as a kicker. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the temperature forecast and the amount of snow on my roof, I am worried about ice damming. Yes this is a major concern. The whole roof collapsing thing is a bit tounge in cheek but it’s not out of the realm of possibilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted Tuesday at 02:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:06 PM I know this is a bit cliche but this is definitely one of those scenarios where you don’t want to be in the bullseye 5-6 days out if you’re rooting for a big storm. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleetussnow Posted Tuesday at 02:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:06 PM 1 hour ago, NJwx85 said: Do you think it’s going to be pure fluff after 6 days of melting in the sun and then refreezing? I have like 18” on my roof. Another 2 feet on top of that wouldn’t be great. And it’s too high for one of those scrapers. It doesn’t get heavier when it melts. The weight will be the same. The fluff we just got has a relatively low water content. 3 feet of concrete snow is a different story, but you’ll likely still be fine anyway. If this storm blows 70 it won’t pile up on the roof as much but you will have plenty of other problems besides your roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principal McVicker Posted Tuesday at 02:07 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:07 PM 35 minutes ago, Brian5671 said: If it misses the general public will say it was overhyped/bust You know, Brian makes a good point. If the storm misses, the public will call it a 'bust.' Which is a real shame, because here on this site, we prefer the more scientific term for being completely wrong despite having billions of dollars in satellite data. We call it 'a statistical anomaly.' It sounds much more professional when you’re explaining to your wife why you spent twelve hours staring at a colorful map of a storm that ended up hitting a completely different ocean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know it doesn’t get heavier, my point was more that it’s not going anywhere and anything that melts will just refreeze instead of running off or evaporating. Under normal conditions we would lose a lot over the course of a week. Not so much this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did some google AI. Average us home’s roof can hold 20lb per square foot load. At a10 to 1 ratio, thats 38.5 inches of snow. So actually your point is valid if we get 2 more feet, assuming all of it is 10 -1 ratio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
