Really? On Woman's Day? Weren't you with "her"?Erin Go Braless
Are you that dense? I'm not predicting anything like that nor is anyone else - I simply said what the range of models is showing and the UK model shows 5-10" for the area on Friday. That's not a prediction by any means. I'll be surprised to see more than 1-2" in most of Central Jersey.there really is no one predicting 5-10 inches or more than 5 or 8 so lets simmer down there...friday event is 0-4 basically and these temps are really marginal for some areas...some will cash into the north and west but good luck at temps that will be hard pressed to go below 32 with light intensity snows perhaps reaching moderate for a brief period

And, by the way, today's GFS, Euro and UK all show more than a foot of snow on Tuesday for most of the Philly-NYC region. Well respected meteorologists are excited. Doesn't mean it's going to happen, but the setup and pattern are as good as they get for a major snowstorm 5-6 days out.
At this point, it's becoming pretty likely that there will be a major east coast winter storm, but it's still way too early to know exactly where the greatest impacts will be - could still be a cutter inland with snow to rain, could be a major snowstorm, could be a small/modest snowstorm for us and major to our south and could miss us completely.
Keep in mind that the big "busts" of the last 20 years, namely March 2001 and Jan-2015 were only busts in terms of placement - they were modeled for many days as huge snowstorms and they ended up being huge snowstorms that just happened to miss or greatly underperform for most of the NYC/NJ area, while crushing folks to our east and NE by 50-75 miles.
most of which would fall in the Tuesday event, according to the model, with a bit on Friday and the rest on St. Patty's Day
Friday is St. Patrick's Day.
great a Kuchera map that includes a storm 9 days out with a ****ed up ratio...talk about jumping the shark when any info on 9 day storms in March are posted here
Tonight's models coming in snowier for Friday's event, with the (edit: Euro on board, too) UK, CMC, RGEM and GFS all showing 3-6" of snow for essentially all of Central/North Jersey, NYC, LI, eastern PA (north of 276-195; even 2-3" south of there). NAM shows much less south of 78 (1-2"). If the Euro confirms the snowier solutions (as it did earlier today), expect to see the NWS and all the media outlets to increase their snowfall forecasts.
For what it's worth, the GFS and Canadian backed off the huge snowstorm they had for Tuesday; they're now showing a significant storm for us, especially towards the coast, but it's still 5+ days out and some fluctuations are to be expected. The Euro and UK still look major (6" plus). This one is just about watching - the pattern and potential are still all there for a major storm, but there's no guarantee it happens. Earthlight, a great pro on the boards, had this to say tonight:
The main players, the same evolution, and the overall incredibly favorable hemispheric setup continue to show up. This is the range where we are all better off having some perspective. Lets take a step back and accept that the storm missing to the east IS in fact a possibility. Instead of dreading it, accept that. But have confidence in the fact that this setup offers a significantly higher probability of giving us something significant than most setups we see unfold throughout any given winter.
Oh boy,this ink blot test has me seeing some very strange things. Why is she doing that to him? Why is Mr.TV hanging out in the mountains to the west? Why is Kbee3 wearing a Mets hat in the Long Island shaded red area? Why does it show Rutgers seated #14 in the East Bracket?WARNING - WEATHER PORN
Not something I normally post, but this is something you might see once in awhile in Jan/Feb, but never mid-March. It's the total accumulated snowfall map from the GFS model through 3/18 (most of which would fall in the Tuesday event, according to the model, with a little bit this Friday and the rest on St. Patty's Day). It's very unlikely to verify, especially as it's only one model and most of the snow falls after Day 5, which is low accuracy, but the point of posting it is to illustrate how potent this pattern is with regard to snow/cold. Would be a weenie wonderland, though...

For Central NJ via WeatherWorks:
This event begins as a stripe of snow in N. NJ before precip fills into our area 4-7 AM. Still thinking it begins as rain, but there will be a switch over to snow. This falls at a moderate intensity for the AM and note in the storm confidence, there is potential for higher amounts. However, this is on grassy surfaces as pavements will have difficulty accumulating due to preceding warmth and temps during snow 32-34. It's going to take a heavy intensity for the pavements to briefly cover up. After this ends late morning / midday, we have a second threat to watch for as scattered snow showers and squalls threaten 4-10 PM. This is just like last Friday and the later a snow shower falls, the better chance for pavement cover because temps fall in the evening (into the 20s).
Sounds like:
Whitebus = 1
RU#'s = 0
Yes, I know, and they generally aren't as good as the NWS in my opinion and the opinions of more than a few pros I've spoken to over the years on the boards.WCTC uses WeatherWorks.
WW have been very accurate for the past several years. Solid service and analysis.WCTC uses WeatherWorks.
Is that Frank Lombardo? I always thought he was good.WCTC uses WeatherWorks.
WB and I aren't competing on anything, since apart from predicting what the NWS is going to do in 3-6 hours (which I nailed, above)
This storm is pissing me off. Instead of my wife being able to drive 90 miles to Connecticut tomorrow to pick up my daughter from college. I have to do it after work tonight. Probably will not get home before 10 so now I have to implement total news blackout, dvr the game and watch it after the fact.

I have this stupid app on my phone that gives me RU scores. I can't get rid of it. So in addition to total news blackout, I have instructed my family to not call or text until I'm done watching the DVR. I shut the phone off. Really pisses me off.This storm is pissing me off.

Third, today's 12Z models are near consensus on a general 2-6" snowfall (3-4" being most likely with the 5-6" amounts most likely north of 78) for almost the entire region from Philly to NYC and including eastern PA, LI/CT; the only areas not in that swath are, on some models areas south of maybe a Philly to Toms River line, where less precip falls. And much of this falls before 8 am, so it will likely accumulate on untreated, lightly traveled roads.
Oh and by the way, the 12Z models are showing a major snowstorm for Mon night through Tuesday. 4+ days out now, so at least a decent (4" or more) snowfall is moving into the likely category from the possible category. I'd still say major (10" or more) is just in the possible category. A total miss is becoming extremely unlikely, but still possible.
I just drove by one on Rt 46. It said "Winter Weather Advisory Drive with Caution. Also, RU versus Northwestern at 9 PM"Watch out for those electric overhead signs on major highways. They may put up the score just to spite you.
love this, kind of support the state should be giving RU!I just drove by one on Rt 46. It said "Winter Weather Advisory Drive with Caution. Also, RU versus Northwestern at 9 PM"
