I got 31 in 2016. 27 hours of snow here.

I think we wound up with 38 inches that storm. It was dumping 6 inches per hour at times. Never seen anything like it

Friend of mine has a flight to JFK scheduled for Monday at 9PM. Should he try to move it to today or do we think JFK will be back up and running smoothly by then?

They've actually been pretty spot on this year with snow measuring at Central Park. 

With the last two yes. This is a different animal for the reasons I stated hopefully they get it right. It's a 50-50.

NAM is a triple phaser clean as can be

 Not defending it, because it was irresponsible at the time. But you do recall how everyone on here jumped at the NY Post for it's sensational headline a few days ago warning of "up to a foot" ... It's a really fine line between hype and communicating risk

The Post was overly certain. There’s a balance between highlighting a risk and going beyond the probabilities. The Post’s reputation for hyperbole didn’t help (“boy cries wolf” syndrome).

I was a little worried after the Euro didn’t bite last night but seeing the rest of the guidance so far I’m confident someone will exceed 30” though it might be hard to verify with the drifts. I would say probably just NW of 95 because the strong winds near the coast will hurt ratios some.

Today would be better. Airports are going to be a disaster. 

And they will start halting flights as early as tonight.

The thread has added 100 pages in 63 hours! ….. Well Done …… as always ….

[Stormlover74]

Its crazy our range 36 hours out is 8 to 24" and because the euro is being stubborn nws probably can't go with the crazy high amounts out of caution

[SACRUS]

 

12z ICON 992 low off DelMarVa

[samdman95]

ty for all the responses. told my friend he should switch flight to today but he doesn’t want to end vacation early and he’s gaslighting me into thinking everything will be fine by 9PM Monday lol

Just looked at the models and the NAM doesn't show it really going down hill until 5 or 6pm tomorrow.  They should hopefully be able to eke some flights in through the early afternoon.

How proactive are they with cancelling flights if I’m arriving at 2PM tomorrow? It seems to be right around when the event is starting and comfortably above freezing before the heavier stuff comes in later in the evening and overnight

Much obliged. Perhaps he meant that it was above freezing for an extended period during the snowfall before the lows for the day were reached.

As per the physical records, most of the snow fell with a temperature of 31 or below.

Same.  It would seem they'd try to get every flight possible in to limit the rescheduling chaos to the extent possible.

[MJO812]

Icon beefed up the amounts

[Snowman92]

Expect the biggest bands and snow totals to lean more NWish once this storm starts up tomorrow. Seen it happen before and itll happen again. 

 

The banding is always a little more north , northwestish
