Congrats everyone. I’ll be watching this one from Miami Beach. My wife will have to learn how to use a snowblower…she’s not happy 

just go online and you can find people to clean the snow. it's a thing, i don't go to facebook but that's one source.

RGEM (GEMS) consistent

Yeah, my landscaper does snow removal in the winter. He's been a lifesaver.

I actually dated the niece of a prominent LI met. He hates inclement weather, legitimately told me so. I lost respect for him at that dinner.

other than snow, i could do without it too. hate hurricanes, tropical storms, rainy noreasters. hate ice storms most of all.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing while delivering the mail while the nam was running. Holy shit.

Little off topic. Just watched Bernie Rayno's 2nd video after the Euro came out.  He may no longer do videos due to some negative responses on X.  People need to chill and value his input.  He even said, once the storm is over or any storm for that matter, he will take criticism, but even still, people need to respond in a professional way.  All meteorologists take heat and rarely get praise when they nail a storm.  I'd say the same for Steve DiMartino, he put his neck out there a week ago calling no storm and has since back tracked. Like I told my kids when they were young, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all

Steve has a gross ego and deserves any criticism he gets. His publicly harassing WFAN because they stated there was a "storm threat" early last week for last weekend was corny and cringe. He got anointed some sortve digital weatherman chair position at the AMS conference and he's been a one man wxtwitter police since.

I remember that well when the GFS was the ONLY model that showed it missing us in 2015. I know people say shit about the GFS, but it still can nail a few storms every once in a while.

This was the map that the NWS put out like 48 hours before.

Then this:

This was I think the final map, which still was too high.

I think the map 24 hours out was even more bullish

weather modelology is horse racing for nerds and that’s why it’s so entertaining when a model everyone calls “Goofus” scoops one for no apparent reason

2.3 inches of liquid on the nam? What? Lol we knew the nam'd run was incoming. If we had eggplant emojis here I'd post a whole bushel of them

[winterwarlock]

not sure anyone should be taking victory laps yet

Feels great to track a monster after several years. This would be an A winter if we get this biggie.

Best fucking winter since 14-15!

I would like to congratulate metfan on his blizzard victory.

This is one of the dumbest FGEN plots I’ve ever seen on the 18z NAM.

For most weenies it would be best to look at this and say, this would be a really nice outcome, and forget you ever saw the 18Z NAM snowmap.

[Mail Man]

That was one of the craziest NAM runs I saw in my lifetime.

I would also add to that the days with snow cover in NYC this season. If this storm does verify, the number of days this winter may approach or exceed 50.

I don't really know how many winters have had over 50 days of snow cover in NYC. The last one off the top of my head was 2010/11. There may have been 1 or 2 after that but I'm not sure.

Here's the list:

Stormvista is not loading I wonder why LOL

At this point we are good with the west vs east location. Now we need it to nudge north. We lose snowfall on the RGEM and ICON from it closing off south.

[RockawayRowdies]

That's what i was thinking.. mid afternoon start time.. go on till early evening Monday.
