If you go back 5 days out til now the Euro AI consistency is excellent.  However the ceiling is probably a low end warning or high end advisory event unless it trends stronger with the phasing (less likely given how close we are to event). 

This isn’t going to trend into a snowstorm. Look at how positively tilted the trough is. There is no phasing until it’s well off shore, the phasing would have to occur over land not over the open Atlantic to get anything substantial and the positive tilt trough isn’t going to allow it. And to top it off, it’s flying. And there isn’t “plenty of time”. People are chasing ghosts.

It depends on what you decide a "snowstorm" is.

Will it be the early 2000s storms? No, but it could very well be better than 95% of what we've gotten the past several years

Snow storm is when Winter Storm Watches and Warnings are issued and they verify - no one said this is going to be a "snowstorm" as of now - don't need phasing to create a moderate advisory type snowfall  or even a moderate snowstorm.

Sometimes there are surprises and models are trying to play catchup and never get it right especially in the beginning of a complex pattern change - it has happened before....In addition i don't think the models are receiving all the data they should on a consistent basis these days because of reduced funding.

There is some  phasing going on. Keep track or dont post.

Dude stop. We don't expect something big and most of us would be perfectly happy with a few inches considering where we were just 24 hours ago. You even just the other day posted the results of every single model run being a "miss" in the other thread, that's clearly not the case right now - maybe acknowledge that before finding yet another way to highlight what's working against us.

We will be lucky to see more than an inch out of this. The trough is severely positively tilted, goes negative way too late because the phase is way late and occurs as it’s moving away over the open Atlantic and the flow is extremely fast, this thing is going to have the jets on. But this is my last comment on it, don’t want to get accused of trying to take your snow away. Btw, the new EURO AIFS just dropped accumulations again and the CMC/RGEM/GEPS want nothing to do with it. Best of luck tomorrow night

It's certainly possible we may not get much of anything out of this one but chances for something is at least better than 24 hours ago.

The bigger picture has been how we can’t get much precipitation of any P-type with the expanding drought across the U.S heading into the warm season. We had the one major system in late January with very high snow ratios before the mixing began. Even the clippers in December started out higher ratio before the mixing and dry slot arrived.

Ensembles show us getting a lot more active but until it happens the dryness will continue.  

I don't even care if it snows again, we just need precip asap.

The trend for over a year now since the drought pattern started has been for the models to show a lot of QPF at range only to drop it significantly as we get closer in time. The overall dryness since September, 2024 has been staggering, we’ve left the 2001-02 drought in the dust, it’s not even close

We're one day short of a new moon on Sunday night (only 3.8% illuminated.)  Let's see what you can do with that wise guy.

3.8% is enough to melt all the snow on the ground.

The fact that we even got snow from clippers this year is a step in the right direction. We haven't really had any pan out in the last 20 years before that, since the big one on January 22, 2005 that turned into a Nor'easter. I was starting to think snow from clippers were a thing of the past.

who is "we" ? If you are talking about your area in Rockland County - yes you are on the edge of the precip shield - BUT my area in Central NJ should get more.
