The bad: 12-18 zone in NJ did not expand west enough, could have angled the 6-12 better to put Philly Metro and parts of CNJ in it
I'll give myself a B+ with this. Tough storm to forecast honestly. When I released this map the NAM and GFS were still showing the heaviest snows offshore, and I ended up going with my gut and listening to other pro's such as Ray.

A Hell of a job.
Yourself, RB, Heehaw, Sroc, Mugs should all be commended. It was great having Ace chipping in on this one too. Several others too obviously, MAttyice come to mind

What a great group!!rb924119 wrote:Just doing some quick and dirty verification of our forecast maps for our board area, and if I might offer some constructive criticism, both Scott’s (sroc) and Frank’s final forecast maps were nearly perfect from what I can tell. However, it looks to me like Scott was a little too bullish on the westward expanse of the banding, and Frank was a little two generous into NEPA and the Catskills region. But your second call map was dead nuts man. The gradient in this storm were really tough, especially for NYC proper, and I think you both did incredibly well there.
In retrospect, had I made a map, it would have been too generous to the west, as I was thinking that the main band that setup along coastal NJ would be another 30 miles west (hence my liking of the I-95 corridor). So, I would have busted there, for sure. That said, I think the overall idea of a further west solution versus what guidance was indicating (even while the event was unfolding) proved to have merit, so I’m ok with that.
All in all, I think we did a really fantastic job as a group with this event, and as the first system that I could spend ANY time analyzing for this season, I couldn’t have asked for a better one. Great job, everybody, and for those of you who are newcomers, welcome aboard!! Onto the next one!!
So RB when do you think our next one is going to be.

I will say this: After taking part toward the end of the tracking of our last storm, I’ve been bitten by the forecasting bug badly. The itch cannot be scratched
sitting here at work and I’m catching myself looking at maps more than working haha
