Even though it's been erratic it still shows a warm nose. The NAM for all its flaws scores well when mid levels can taint the precip. Could it be wrong? Sure, and I'm hoping it is but it'd be foolish not to take it into account.

Most normies I talk to whenever I talk snow seem to understand Manhattan is a different beast when it comes to snowfall. I think there’s plenty of value in measuring at Central Park within the urban environment. Just wish the people doing it had some sense of urgency when it comes to accuracy.
I work on the 9th floor of my building in lower Manhattan. You could look out the window and see snow at that height. Albeit certainly mixed with rain. On the ground it was just rain. I’ve witnessed this a few times. Definitely heat island.
