" U.S. MODELS ABOUT 50 TO 75 TOO FAR EAST Looking at the JMA and Euro has me confident in the ideas, but some adjustments are needed to big city snow amounts, though the heaviest will be west of these cities from D.C. to NYC. The I-95 cities are looking at a 6-12 inch storm with the storm starting as rain then going to a heavy, thumping snow. Snow amounts over 6 inches should reach back as far west as Beckley to Johnstown to Binghamton, where GFS amounts are much lighter, then northeast to north of Eastport, Maine. The storm will probably have some 18-inch amounts over Pennsylvania west of PHL then in southern New England."

There has been some talk in the NYC thread saying that this could still trend a bit more west. We'll see

JB plays the JMA card :yikes:

Here is my best guess for this upcoming storm as far as accumulations go for E NYS. I also included an educated hypothesis for 5 selected cities from the Upper HV down to NYC. May or may not update this pending 0z runs Tonight...

Thanks for the input... This looks very reasonable based on where things stand.. I am personally thinking 6" is a good forecast for the SE areas of the NWS Albany forecast area.

I had a bad feeling about getting screwed on this storm even though i called for 6" - I think i could bust here and it might never get further north than southern Putnam. We will see.

It just amazes me that the same areas of NJ are getting hit again and again... What a winter for them down there.. At some point, this pattern HAS to change to something more climatologically normal.. These sharp cut-offs are really miserable when you are on the wrong side of them.. We are doing much better than last year at this point, but I really feel for the folks in PA who just can't catch a break.

All good points but I really can't complain with the 15" or so solid snowpack from various storms that I have at home. It's been a while since I've had that.

I can see the sun here!!! lol

Back home it looked like it was ready to snow, the air was so moist my Pilot was covered in "dew" @19F. The only reason it didn't freeze is its covered in salt

The sun was poking out here in Goshen as well but I did count 3 snowflakes about 45 minutes ago :arrowhead:

This sucks at 9am I was just getting into Ramsey and hit heavy snow so I came back home to Monroe to work from home. Just finally getting light snow here now. Clouds are lowering so hopefully we get into some better stuff soon. What happened to the days when NYC And NJ got 6 inhes of slop while HV got all snow and a foot? LOL. Oh well I can't complain as we have still done great here this winter. But I feel for you guys further north. Still plenty of winter to go though.

And in the past 20 minutes I've seen numbers 4, 5, and 6 and they brought their friends too, very light snow has commenced in Goshen, probably won't last long though.

:thumbsup:

This one isn't for us,. Its backed off a lot here in Rockland, light snow now. Temps seem to be around 32, most of what came down this moring is quickly melting away
