It’s insane especially this close 

It's funny how some people say we shouldn't look at models as the event gets very close. Models get more and more accurate the closer you get to the event. They'll be the most accurate right before the event is starting, so of course we should look at them.

Isn’t the hrrr what you want to use right now

10 inches is not a big snowstorm, not in the northeast. its fine, but not what was advertised. it's like the idiots who bought cheap tickets to see the red hot chili pipers thinking it was the red hot chili peppers....they got a great show but it wasn't the real thing, or even the same music....the pipers do have an awesome bagpipe show....

NYC has gotten 10 inches of snow 18 times in the last 25 years. Not rare, but its a big event. And 10 inches is the bottom threshold here

been snowing on UWS for an hour + but not even sticking to cars yet.

I thought it was just white rain here on the UES (right by the East River) but actually it’s starting to stick nicely to grass, cars, awnings, etc.

Yeah it kicks east earlier now verbatim 

Also if it were further north off southern Delaware like the NAM was showing yesterday that mega band now over the ocean would have been over us.

Fair. I’ve explained in detail in several subsequent posts. 
 

The areas you’re talking about are under blizzard warnings for 18-25”. So… if the latest models of 6-10 were to pan out; that would be quite the bust for those areas. I have said that I thought those numbers were insanely high and don’t account for the possible shifts we’re seeing, but I’m also not the NWS so we’ll see

Still snowing in Manhattan. Surprised to hear JFK is still rain. I am from NC and up here this week for business, but Ive been tracking this storm since it showed up. I still think, and always have, that 12-18" is most realistic for Manhattan. Hoping for more so I dont have to actually commute to the office this week but it's still gonna be a good time tonight. I'm super excited. 

Once it drops another degree, JFK should flip. The above freezing layer from the surface extends to around 975 mb. That's a bit too thick.

The Mesos might be right but they also might be wrong,,,,,,,it's nowcast time as we really won't know which guidance had it correct or wrong until tomorrow,,,,,just my opinion

Of course models are useful and should be looked at. 

My point is 1 bad model run after 10 good ones and people line up to jump off a cliff. It's just funny

If some of you havent yet realized that many (most) posters here cant do much more than look at snow output maps, AND STILL CHOOSE TO ARGUE WITH THOSE PEOPLE, thats youre goddamn fault for engaging with idiocy. Everyone stop whining. This a fucking hobby of tracking weather. Put the keyboard away and go watch tv or go for a walk or something. Holy shit. 
 

edited to add:

 

and if you come here after a week of model watching to claim some sort of moral superiority for not getting attached, find somewhere else to post. It wont be here.

Meh. Makes me want to puke. 

Still a decent output overall, but nothing historic.

not much of nj saw more than a foot, and was not expected to.

I believe almost all of NNJ had a foot or more. I'd have to go back to look at the final totals though.

Just changed to light snow here as we dropped from 37F to 35F over the past hour.

People get burned when they ignore the models this close in. Of course they're not useful for banding etc but track? Absolutely

I don't think its that serious haha, we're all just having fun. Last minute panicking is part of it. I've learned to enjoy it all  the chips will fall where they fall

Still snowing at end.

Well for context at the same hour on the last full run 12z it at 8.6 inches in NYC and now it's up to 9.8 inches at 15z. 12z ended with 15+ inches.

its hard to get one that works well....

500 mb low is now in central Ohio, won't be off the coast for ten more hours. And the storm is already cranking.

The surface low appears to be east of Norfolk at about 1000 mb now. 

It wouldn't be a traditional GFS coup if they didn't drop the baton at the last pass.
