12z gfs drastically cut totals in the metro.

 

would rely more on hrrr/rap / nam 3k and rrfs and radar later with the deform band - GFS keeps the heaviest s and east of NYC

If gfs verifies we go from historic to maybe the January storm being the biggest

Meh use the mesos. There are always bands the models cant pinpoint. 

Enjoy the storm later.

The Blizzard of 1888 started as rain I believe.

This happens all the time, some people complain at the beginning of big storms that the snow is too light, rain etc. then dynamics take over and they shut up. This is going to be a 970 storm moving very slowly inside the benchmark, it's going to snow and snow incredibly hard. 12, 16, 20 inches who cares? Just enjoy it, it's been a long time since we've had a storm like this.

Last WPC update QPF for this storm 

 

Great map. I’m looking at this as a coastal storm in all respects.

We still get a foot but yeah. N&w gets screwed

anytime i see the coast jackpotting, this is what happens.  don't be surprised if we top out around 10-11. it must be asked, why bother to follow for a week when it's game time before we have a handle on it....

Coast still looks good. Banding is tricky to pinpoint.

[Snowman92]

I have an untrained eye. Anyone have an idea on where the storm is currently compared to the model runs ? Is it more west or east ?

well, two feet is too much for me to handle anyway.

[allgame830]

[Juturna]

problem I see - the Nam cut totals at 12Z and the Canadian already had reduced total at 0Z Last night

I mean 4 days ago we were hoping for 6 to 12. So IF IF this were to happen its at least a heavy snow event.

This is why I kept saying we need the storm to gain more latitude.

There are usually strong bands to the north and west of the low.

yup case in point if the gfs was off with this band by 25 - 30 miles - major implications - the storm will do what its gonan and wants to do - no model especially global will hone in in this range with the banding which are paramount in these coastals

 

 

[Jt17]

lol some of the mesos have been creeping up, last few runs compared to their previous run at the same end time. Globals are way out of their wheelhouse now.

AI. Cut back a touch

[donsutherland1]

12z HREF through tomorrow 12z:

Even if on deducts one category, NYC has 12"-15" of snow by 12z tomorrow on the HREF.

I’ll say it once more relax fellas!!! Just look at the HREF that was just posted. Seriously you guys are causing way too much panic! All systems are a go!

Also drastically reduced the NW extent but still verbatim a great depiction. 

[Winterweatherlover]

Unfortunately these storms due to tend to tick east at the last second. I guess NJ coast and LI due for a biggie. Still a nice storm for all though and hopefully some banding to the NW. 

[winterwarlock]

Whoa gfs

[SnowGoose69]

I still lean near the low end.  Above the RGEM but below many others.  Maybe 12-16 near NYC though obviously if a February 06 band sets up that goes out the window, but there is always risk of that

[North and West]

and here comes all the cliff jumpers.....smh 

Like the swallows to Capistrano
