That's what I'm thinking too.. didn't know if that would ever happen again.  If it's going to this is as good a chance as any. 

Agree 100%. I’ve never been more confident in potentially breaking those totals. 28” IMBY during that storm so we shall see. Either way this storm has the possibility of potentially being deadly. Hope the general public stay off the roads. Many of cars were abandoned on nicolls road and the LIE Feb 2013

Where in suffolk are you? I'm up in sound beach. Was in mount sinai in 2013.. got about 32 inches.  Constant lightning coming off the harbor in that death band.

He said no chance earlier this week and that monkeys will fly if the gfs is right.

he claiming the gfs and nam with 30 inches will not be correct and he is probably right but he makes excuses for how bad the euro was with this storm from the onset

Here's a little behind the scenes of what is going through a nws head tonight...

Forecasting potential extreme events ("black swan" events as some call them) is always a psychological as well as scientific challenge. Yesterday I hemmed and hawed about mentioning blizzard conditions for Long Island for the upcoming storm and went with it in the end, the signal was too much to ignore. Now I'm confronted by the latest shorter term models, which refuse to back down from extreme snowfall amounts from Sunday afternoon into Monday morning. How much do I accept those amounts?? I think those models are seeing what the European model still isn't, and that's the potential for heavy thundersnow with rates of 2-4 inches per hour for several hours, preceded and followed by additional snow at lesser rates. The European never gets hourly snowfall rates above an inch per hour, and with an intense storm like this that makes no sense. But if I bought the extreme numbers verbatim I'd have to forecast at least 2 feet of snow for nearly the entire NYC Tri-State area, Long Island, and all of NJ, and locally as much as 30-40 inches for parts of the Jersey shore up into western and central Long Island. Nope that's too extreme. I can be conservative and say as much as 20-25 inches for the former and 25-30 inches for the latter, there is still time to zero in on the right amounts. If the extreme numbers don't back down with the daytime Sunday model guidance and I can still provide a rationale for why they might happen, then I may have to keep trending toward them. For now time to get some sleep

That guy is trash person

100%. Clicked because I didn't know. Most models consistently showing some sort of bullseye over central jersey coast, but his 'last call' doesn't have it. And last call my foot...

he was in youtube chat tonight arguing his point. about the models..

He was indeed trolling their show tonight. You could tell Joe C was annoyed with DT. Can't understand how DT could rub people the wrong way...

On a more important note, Joe and Joe had on Bill Goodman from the NWS Upton office. When Cioffi had his final call board up of 15-20 along Central/Eastern NJ and Long Island,  Bill said that was too low in his mind, his thinking was 18-24.

remember to get on facebook and post the NAM or you are not a true weenie

did that already. Also i'm truly surprised tropicaltidbits even has icon as a model choice. it's literally the worst model, the only thing that it's useful for is 2m surface temps it's somewhat accurate

Miller place. Was an epic storm hoping this one can beat it, but I think we’re more in the 20-24” range but we’ve seen it time and time again bands like to setup over our area

Have to see if other mesos start picking up on the stalling idea… would be epic 

The RAP model pretty much shows the stall start to happen right when the pressure begins to significantly bomb out. Here's a 9 hr loop of virtually very little to no movement from about 8 pm tomorrow night until 5 am Monday morning.

Can’t believe I’m missing this one. Shame 

I have a confession to make-I’m missing it too. I’m in New Orleans at a friend’s birthday. I looked into coming back today and it just wasn’t feasible and tomorrow forget it. It sucks lol. I’m supposed to come back Tuesday but who knows about the situation with the airports by then.

There’s a capture that sorta happens as the storm stacks/starts to occlude.

Wow. With the way you've been commenting on the storm, I never imagined that you were not here. Very sorry that you're going to miss it! Hopefully you're having a great time in New Orleans though.

I…. yeah. It sucks. But I’m thrilled for everyone and there will be plenty left when I get home.
