The temp difference between coast and interior a bit more extreme than expected, usually better temp gradient is more intense precip. Just hope it’s not mixing on coast but if it’s already flurries then nyc/LI should be fine.
Possibly could happen there also may be an inland band as some models have hinted and the places between the coastal and and inland band would get the biggest shaft
Uptons forecast and write up is reasonable with 4-8 inches for warning zone and they mention possibility totals will be lower if the bands stay to the southeast
Not so much responding to you as the post you were responding to but In the interior there will be definitely be more chances and on the coast this one still may pan out. Also we can’t control whether this pans out or not. Also the more chances are within 5 days it’s not like fantasy runs.
Overrunning storms into cold airmass can sometimes be real fun but yes there is a threat of change to rain at the coast and ice inland.
If you get a good track you get last weekend if you get a worse track you get above scenario.
