Hey all-- I don't post much because I am just a weather enthusiast, but I wanted to write to say thanks to all the mets and other informed people on this board.  I have been part of the weather forums in the NYC area since the ABC local news weather forum which then led to NYCmetroweather.  

Through all this time I have appreciated learning from everyone.  I hope people can enjoy this storm and stay safe and that there is not much damage.  

I will post when I can my obs.  Thanks all and  enjoy Blizzard 2026!

I believe it is real. A realization of a band of precipitation to NW with some orographic enhancement. Will it be 15-18” or 18-24” is the question. Arguments could be made for either range but as it looks now I like the lower end of the higher range, i.e. 18-21”. Wider scale 18-24” is reserved for central / southern coastal NJ NYC into LI.


.

We shall see. Somehow? When it comes to snowfall, Canistear Rd. corridor from Cliffwood Lake to Barry Lakes seldom disappoints.

After 5 hours of snow (all snow!) on the UWS it's starting to stick to car windshields. If you didn't  have access to modern forecasting, today so far would be indistinguishable from a miserable March white rain event. Makes me think about the generations that preceded us (I mean native Americans and colonial settlers). Would they have known what's coming?

No but they would be prepared for anything and would have stocked up on ice-melt weeks ago.

While the latest 12z GFS is now lower with QPF and more in line with
the Canadian and ECMWF, these global models are struggling with
banding. Current forecast QPF and Snow Amounts remained similar
to previous forecast which is more in line with hi res/HREF
guidance. Snow amount was derived using similar snow ratios to
the previous forecast. Much of the guidance including the NBM
appears to be too high. This was mannualy adjusted down to
10:1 or even a bit lower today, then increasing to 12-14:1 by
late tonight into daybreak Monday as colder air wraps around
the system. Using these ratios with generally 1.25 to 1.50
inches of QPF across the interior and 1.75 to 2.00 inches along
the coast resulted in a swath of about 20 to 24 inches of snow
for NYC and Long Island and 16 to 20 inches elsewhere. While
this is the expected amount, a few isolated readings of 30
inches are possible in the heaviest banding, mainly along the
coast.

Wow, this is exactly what I've been saying.

Hey neighbor!

Carteret is the most NE town in middlesex county though, so usually go with Upton forecasts. I live literally 2 miles from Staten Island haha

You currently live in Carteret?  I was born and raised there. Now live in Old Bridge.

That's awesome.  I worked as a manager for 12 years at Paul's Gulf, the gas station at 743 Roosevelt.
