Mine did pretty well this winter so far! (I'm not doing it lol)

You're one of the posters I respect the most so you have free rein to do whatever you want in regards to starting threads.  You and Rob should have green tags.  Bx and I are grateful for both of you.

Just can never remember so much flip flopping.  It has had fails but this last week if runs was just horrendous.

You look at the last 4 days of Euro runs and then compare it with this, it's actually crazy.

Last 16 runs of the gfs

SPC is forecasting a thundersnow risk!

 ...Discussion...

   Strong short-wave trough is digging southeast toward the OH Valley
   late this evening. This feature will phase with the southern stream
   and induce a surface low off the NC coast early in the period.
   Intense deepening is expected with this offshore cyclone which will
   lift north-northeast during the overnight hours.

   Isolated thunderstorms may develop along the trailing cold front as
   it surges south across the FL Peninsula during the day, but poor
   lapse rates and weak buoyancy suggest the risk for robust convection
   is not particularly high.

   Intense low-level warm advection will aid the potential for
   lightning discharge in midlevel convection along the middle Atlantic
   coast and southern New England. Forecast soundings suggest the
   majority of this activity will be within heavier snow bands along
   the northwest-north side of the cyclone.

   Across the Pacific northwest, significant midlevel cooling and
   steepening lapse rates are expected along the WA coast by early
   afternoon. Weak SBCAPE is expected to develop across this region and
   some risk for lightning is possible with convection that develops
   within this warm-advection regime.

Gfs has a nice band near coastal NJ not too far south from NYC. Sometimes bands end up elsewhere than modeled.

IMO its impossible for any model to pinpoint exactly where any extreme amounts will fall caused by banding - have seen that happen in many storms over the years.

My question now is what is everyone's opinion on what could go wrong with this storm causing much lower snowfall amounts then modeled in certain areas ? One area I think that is overdone is  the NAMS 42 inches on the Ocean County coast .

Dry slot, boundary layer warms to mixed precip, storm track much further east of benchmark.

Snowfall rates can jackpot with thunder snow. Though I have seen it go either way. Either heavy snow, or a change to sleet!

12/30/00 was sure as hell no change to sleet and that must've been 4" per hour when it was the once I heard thundersnow. Was literally blinding heavy snow. The rain line wasn't too far east in Suffolk County, Long Beach lucked out for once that day.

What are current NWS forecasts for the contest sites? I will put those into the contest (30 entries, now closed).

Never mind, I found the map ... 17.1" NYC, (est 18" LGA) ... 20.3" ISP ... 19.3" JFK, 17.1" EWR

... I am sure I saw higher values earlier so they have cut back slightly. They don't specify LGA so I took a map interpolation for that one.

I thought the story was that he died of natural causes.

I checked with three different AI programs, ChatGPT, perplexity, and Grok and two of three say official cause was natural causes.
 

ChatGPT which I originally used without checking the others did have the suicide story but apparently that's incorrect. Should have known better than to trust one source.

Thanks, Don, I found an earlier version that was a bit less aggressive. Will use your later one instead. What would you say for LGA (they don't specify) ... I will say 21.5" given the other data. 

These were the earlier ones

17.1" NYC, (est 18" LGA) ... 20.3" ISP ... 19.3" JFK ... 17.1" EWR

Seems reasonable.
