Storm Speculation: 12/30/12

 Not really sure of the dates for this one. The GFS seems to have it a bit out to sea right now...



Euro takes big jumps, but is showing the storm too...



ALB NWS discussion for Wed-Thu...

Models continue to narrow down the potential path and evolution of the storm system...With the initial sfc low expected to track from the western gulf coast region...into the tennessee valley region wed afternoon...before redeveloping east of the appalachians...Somewhere near or just northeast of the nation's capital.

This new low center is then expected to track northeastward...To near or just east of nyc thu morning...To near cape cod by late thursday. This track would be quite favorable for a potentially moderate to heavy snowfall for at least areas north and west of the immediate capital region.

Forecast model soundings do hint at a warm nose of above freezing temps between 900-800 mb intruding for areas near...East and south of albany... By daybreak thursday...Before gradually eroding thu afternoon as dynamic cooling intensifies as the mid level low center passes just south and east of the region.

With a slow start - this is shaping up to be a great season.

3-5" forecast for Marathon today, Greek should be pretty sweet, going up after work.

I agree, I was beginning to think this was going to be a repeat of last season, let it snow!

Already have 4 or 5 and still snowing hard

GP should be in good shape

I'd say 3 or 4 inches in North River. Snowing at steady clip!

Snowing a lot in Middletown NY probably 4 inches down, I love snow.

Still snowing....easily another foot in the past 24 hrs

This has truly been in epic holiday week in the North Country. I don't know if we got a full foot or not yewsterday, it was sure a lot of the nicest fluff you could hope for. I ski Utah every season and this last snow was as nice a moisture content as you often get there (granted they get a few days of very dry powder but this was pretty good).

With low temps at night and below freezing during the day what we have will continue to dry out, More on the horizon for next weekend.

Still snowing
