And we're off - first threat for a few mangled flakes

Anyone think this boundary layer issue is being overplayed on the models? GFS has huge snows in very low elevations but are away from the coast but almost nothing on the island where some spots are between 300 and up to 400 feet high. We see this showing up in storms in the dead of winter too. If the winds are howling out of a northerly or northeasterly direction I don't see how low lying inland areas get any more snow than coastal areas with a similar elevation.

That is if it snows at all.

With that said this storm has to seriously move out of the day time. It's basically the only thing the models aren't showing perfectly at this point.

Sun angle is pretty low at this time of year..if it snows hard it will accumulate..sun angle is near early Feb

theres not one spot on the island at 400, the highest is jayne's hill in south huntington at like 399, but there are maybe 3-4 hills over 300, the majority of the north shore is between 125 and 225, which makes just about no difference...and a northeast wind blows across the lukewarm long island sound...which in marginal situations, makes a huge difference

Yes. 100%. If its heavy snow in Newark under the CCB, 100% its heavy snow for all of NYC.
