Yeah I'm gonna get crushed can't wait

Nice! Love the model differences. Check the HRRR when within 12hrs. Usually does well.



Also, forgot about this site! SREF plume viewer! Point and click on a station on the map they provide.

Black line is the mean snowfall total for all members of the model. This is for Pittsburgh (PIT)

Is there a way to separate snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain in this link? Or similar ones?

About 100 miles.... That's it.


That's how close this was to giving I-95 and the big Cities (Philly, NYC, Boston) a huge all snow event. Less miles for Hartford!


Storm track. So close.

I believe the hourly forecasts separate all of these 4 from each other....

Yup, that's a good easy spot too.

Not that link. Pivotal does. For ice I refer to NWS because I'm not familiar with how well the models handle determining whats ice, snow and sleet.


here's the latest NAM


pivotalweather - Models: NAM=





Don't forget they have snow ratio parameter too.


This is for Sunday 1am





Go to Hour 36. Saturday 7pm look at the difference. Will start off high ratio snows here and just continue getting wetter and wetter as storm gets closer then changes over

You can also go to your local NWS office winter page and click on ice forecast. (Change the 3 letter code in link for other offices. Ie: BOX for Boston. PHI for Philly)

Someone put a collage together of a bunch of forecasts

Its so Impressive that the 5000 foot temps will go from teens (F°) to 40s over NYC area within 18hrs then drop back to teens 12hrs later.

A heavy snow band has been training over an area just to the south of me where my mother lives for hours now (lake and moody county which includes the communities of Madison, Colman, Nunda, Rutland, Egan, and Flandreu and Pipestone, MN)... it's likely they could get 12 inches there. Mind you these are parts of the country where compared to most of you, are not very populated but there are people under these bands, just not many. Around here with temperatures under 10 degrees, the snow is quite light and likes to blow around in such a way many of you have probably not witnessed before if you live in New England.

Here's a good webcam from SDSU which is about 10-15 miles north of that strong yellow area.

And a webcam looking at I-29 from as close to that yellow area as I can find. Because snow does not stick when it's this cold and the interstates are elevated, they are often some of the best roads to travel on out here despite the fact that they often close them... the snow will blow off of them. It's extremely rare to get much more than a foot per storm out here, our climate is more like Fairbanks than any of you especially within the coteau des prairies.
