Models usually lose storms in the mid range to bring it back. Are you new ?

majority of ensemble members have yet to fully support the OPS - except maybe an AI ensemble which is not a proven in the long term to be accurate yet - so they never actually lost the storm

We’re about to see another slow torturous trend of a miss huh? Haha

The Euro Ai is a wobble away from where it was earlier. Tons of potential with this system, some beautiful classic off hour model quite meltdowns happening. Somethings never change.

I think this is either gone or established as a likely impact by this time Thursday.  There should be a solid move towards one idea or another by then

For sure but still part of the same forum.

IF this happens, we're in mid moon phase to limit coastal flooding. I would like to see what the max wind potential is of a bombing storm this rapidly.

Been playing kick the can since 1/25.    Still early and we weren't going to be in the bullseye 5 days straight...but the worrying thing is that most of these storms have been wide right this year.  OP euro not having anything is concerning...  See what happens tomorrow...

Hmmm. Fwiw, on the 12"+ snowstorm list for CPK (28 total), only one is in late February, February 25-26, 2010.

Gotta love this place; primary to Buffalo at 06z followed by OTS at 18z, all in a day.

I'm not sure where you're getting that list from but that's not even close.

Climo, should always remain heavily weighted when in a sub-optimal setup... as you point out.

Still, enjoyable to track.  Offers an opportunity to find biases in models, year over year.   

Wouldn't surprise me to see decent pattern-changing coastal as winter winds down, but didn't expect to see it so soon.

There's 39 total, 12 inch or greater storms in Central Park and 8 from Mid February (15th) through March. The most recent is is Feb 25 2010 20.9 inches that you noted, Feb 19, 1979 12.7 inches, Feb 20, 1921 12.5 inches and 5 in March. Not as many as I thought there would be so it does show how difficult it is for the City to get a blockbuster this time of year.

Not a good start. 

[MJO812]

Wow is the euro going to win here after being alone ? Its right when we dont want it to be right but when it shows something good its wrong.

 

Cant trust these models past 5 days. Icon now has nothing up here.
