Brilliant!
I wonder how much NYC will get. I drive to work from Queens to Westchester so hoping the commute isn't horrible.

Getting closer to confirming a storm. the 12z runs tomorrow should definitely spell it out and that's when we'll start to see some watches and warnings go up.
Yeah I was surprised to see that Upton already increased their totals after the 12z Euro today. Normally they're a bit conservative, but given the unconventional setup I guess they wanted to be a bit bullish.
man, this is why i hate everything european

Mt. Holly is still being super conservative with the storm right now. Curious as to what they are going to say after this run and whenever we end up getting the euro in (i think 2 am-ish?)
The storm's center is gonna sit on us, if the EU model is right then we're all boned.

Seriously fuck our government.
How many billions spent on illegal NSA surveillance, but we have to look at European models because the shitty American one can't see 36 hours out?

From what I am reading of the models this looks quite insane near Boston. Also, in the next 9 days all of new england new york sees an insane blast of cold bringing temps reallly low after this storm.

Uh?
I work, and there's nothing better than waking up, checking operating status from bed, and finding out its a snow day
The storm stalls according to the most recent Euro run. A blizzard stalls over the east coast for nearly a day straight. I'm pretty speechless, but I'm slightly worried that the storm will underperform. Not all the models are in agreement just yet, but the global ones are all saying heavy snow along the I-95 corridor from Philadelphia to Boston. I'd temper enthusiasm until tomorrow night's run right now, but it's hard not to marvel at this run.
Also, there are accumulation maps running around according to this run, but I feel like it would be unfair to put those up here right now. We're still two days out and a lot can change.

The euro had been showing 24+ inches in NYC and Boston metro and the midnight run confirmed it.
I expect the American models will wake up to this by the time I wake up
All praise euro

I've got my snow day planned out already.
Even better, snow might not stop falling until Tuesday, so Monday might be a total cancel and Tuesday a noon start.
And there's a potential Friday storm as well

The snow totals are like mentioning voldemort's name because they are so insane. I feel the power even.
The storm should begin around 10PM Monday, and possibly stick around until 6-10AM Wednesday.
I refuse to put them up because they're up there, and putting up such high numbers may cause a panic. All I will say is that they're record numbers according to some of the forecasts and I would seriously think about stocking up the fridge as if you can't leave the house for at least four days. It's that type of event and if the models continue to verify prepare to be legitimately snowed in.
If by 12PM tomorrow, we continue to see these numbers verified, I'll put them up. If anyone else wants to put them up earlier that's fine, but right now just know the storm could be absolutely historic (#1 historic) and act accordingly if the models continue to verify.

if you guys want accurate weather reports this guy is pretty good. I follow him on a Jets forum i visit, and he finally made his own site after 5 years of convincing.

It's weather for the tri state area. He's pretty much right on the money most of the time.

Looks like my area is in the very vague 6-12 range. I'm kind of hoping we get a ton, only because I'd love for my Tuesday classes to be cancelled.
Apparently I'm actually in a 12-18 inch area (southern Maine). This outta be interesting. At least it won't be like the 42 inch storm a couple years ago.

I'm going to spend it watching the movie Snow Day.

The latest Euro run.
Never seen anything like it. Doubt we get that much, but even half will be a historic storm for NYC.
Edit: looks like it's on the Jaysweather site. Great link.

So fucking sick of snow.
The guy puts stuff in all caps and really doesn't think about what he's doing. It's okay to be a weather fan, I'm one, but this guy should realize he's informing the public; most of whom don't understand weather models, but do understand numbers. So if they hear a very high number, even though it's projected, they'll begin to panic or worse 100% believe the projection and mistrust the forecasts next time a major storm is projected to reach the area.
Also posting that map for one forecast run is probably not a good idea. It's fine that you did, but understand that it was just one forecast run and not an official forecast.

I posted it because it was the best model run I've ever seen. I know we won't reach those numbers (we might just get a few inches if the storm goes East or doesn't bomb quick enough), but that map is too cool.
