NYS To Miss Another Big Storm Today

The models have been slowly pushing this storm further and further east. With the heavy precip just crossing over into eastern NYS, these small shifts mean big differences in certain parts of the state, such as my location in Albany.

Here are the 06z NAM and GFS runs from earlier today:



This correlates into about 2-4" of snow for the Albany area. I'm going with 1-3", since there is a possibility of some mixed precip during the storm if the surface warms up enough. Not a bad event, but it's peanuts compared to parts of northern New England, Maine in particular. Some areas are expected to get 12-18" of snow by the end of the storm tomorrow night, with localized areas of 18-24". Yeah...they can have that for all I care.

And of course there's going to be lake effect for those who live further west, but that's just a given.
