RGEM is being stubborn 

 

RGEM, UKMET and others are also quicker than NAm/GFS

It’s normally to dry in event like this like previously stated 

[deathstar9]

Also with marginal temps and higher sun angle would prefer not to waste much qpf prior to 3-4pm!

Also globals are used in more for the mid and long range not short range like where we are now.

We need to be concerned about moon angles overnight Sunday

i heard people this morning saying they were all sick of the snow already....it's only snowed a handful of times! i heard an official from nyc saying it too, we are all tired of the snow.....that's what happens when it doesn't melt i guess. here in nj people complain about the snow anytime, no matter how little we get, its too much for them......they all want to wake up in san diego. 

People in New Jersey complain if you sneeze to loud or cough....

Question I’ll pose, albeit may be too early: does this have some hallmarks of the granddaddies of the past, some that some of us have been alive for, some that we’ve only heard about?

My initial thoughts:

March 1888
February 1978
January 1996

Of course there are others, but those three are some inner-circle, first ballot HoFers.

Thanks. I’ll hang up and listen.

A sub 980 low on or close to the benchmark in mid-late February in NYC always delivers. Once we're talking about 18-24 inch snowstorms, 1888, 1978, 2006, 2016... they're all in the conversation.

Dear GFS,

 

We owe you an apology.

 

When you first showed this blizzard days ago, we laughed, doubted you, and even called you “Goofus.” Turns out… you saw it coming before the rest of us.

 

The snow is piling up, and you were right.

 

Respectfully,

A very humbled crew

Dear GFS,

 

You still suck.  You owed us one...or a hundred.  

 

Disrespectfully,

The Wx Community

So what can go wrong with this storm for the tristate from a meteorological point of view

one thing-if you end up near a band but not in it-you can get skunked from subsidence around the band.

Y'all are gonna get walloped. Enjoy! Make a snowman.. or 19 of them.

Phases later than depicted... pushes heavy snows east...

That is the only thing I would be worried about ..

At this point nothing like that is being depicted... but that could change... although not likely...

To his credit he did say this was either out to sea or a big storm.

that and also like a 12/09 or 2/2013 where it ends up sneaking more east than expected, even if its 30-40 miles that could be difference of 8-9 inches vs 15

You guys are in luck.  Let me tell you about what I saw with blizzard of '88...

[North and West]

My thought in posing this question is could this push into the question where normal people know about the storm just from mentioning it? Those three are the ones regular people know.

The second this storm ends he'll be back in the La Nina thread. That or forecasting a Super El Nino next year. Book it

Yep, the Boxer Day storm for most of Long Island was an experience of looking at the radar and seeing the mega band over Jersey just sit and dump snow as we experienced light to moderate...

24+ in those parts while we got 12-15"...

Those are hard to sit through ...

This is very safe and an accurate forecast. They should leave it alone and let it rock

I don't think we'll know for sure until we're in it.
