It seems like some of the precip is disappearing on radar.

Long Island/Southern Mass will be better and any North and West area, once the clipper hits the ocean you will see precip fill in over these areas

It gets rung dry as soon as it crosses into eastern pa, bad news for us imo. Not that I had big hopes for this thing anyway.

we need to see how the precip pops once the low is in a favorable position for more precip to pop.

You guys really don't like letting events play out do you? Fine, lets say it looks dry, it was never forecast to look amazing in PA especially while traveling over the Apps! Chill out, look at the radar around 11PM and then you can start complaining or whatever you do.

hey can you blame people for being pesimistic after saturday??(and every storm weve had so far)

quick question because im new here. im 30 years old, live in nyc(bronx) my whole life....and when i was a kid, i NEVER remembering every single storm turning to sleet and/or rain. these past few years, i feel like its ALWAYS about the rain snow line. we never can just get all snow. i remember last year we hada storm where it was 23 degrees and sleeeting. why is it always nyc that gets screwed? its frustrating cuz im a huge fan of snow. did meteorology change in the last 25 years or something because i remember many a snow storm when i was a kid.

it could be that i just didnt pay as close attention to the weather as a kid but im pretty sure i did. can anyone shed some light on this?
