heres DT's first guess. I'd love for this to verify but I think it might end up further south.

Based on the 00z model runs. The amounts around Greene and Albany counties look a little high; like you said it might be more to the north than it should be. but overall, the map looks good.....The GFS is a little more to the north with this than the NAM..And the Models are having minor timing issues...But, the Models are in better temp agreement with this storm than they were with the Sun/Mon storm..The major fly's in the ointment will be warm air intrusion and the March sun.

I think this is somewhat overdone as far as the need for 8-12" regions. I suppose I wouldn't rule out some 8+ reports out of this event, but I think those reports will remain isolated at this point.

To me, this looks like an extended (18-24 Hour) Advisory event for the region roughly along and south of I-90... say 4-9" (best chance of 7-9" over higher terrain above 1500' on the Allegheny Plateau).

0z Euro QPF totals thru H 60 / 12z Thursday.

Verbatim, the Western Southern Tier (Chaut-Catt-Alleg cnty's) changes to rain on Wednesday Afternoon then to snow Wednesday Evening. Surface temp's are slightly above 32°F across C NY Wednesday Afternoon when light precip moves in, so there could be some mixing at the start... especially in the valleys... but it's mainly snow for everyone outside the Western Southern Tier on the 0z Euro.

I agree...The storm will have a sharp cut off.......I don't see much of the white stuff falling north of I-90 :thumbsup:

I thought the trend was north. Guess we'll see which NWS office is right Thursday am. smile.gif

I can understand the confusion...It is a tricky track...The models are trending a little colder. And even though the bulk of this will be suppressed to the south...I think a a inch or two north of the Mohawk Valley is a good bet. The snow will slowly end west to east Thursday.....Before areas downwind of Ontario pick-up a little LES Friday.
