I am curious to see while this could make history with the fact an inch or more snow could very well happen for NYC since keeping records I don't buy in the 6" or more situation due to the fact the surface temps will be just bit too warm while it will between 33 to 36 F and with the warm ground. Remember this is October for a real significant snowfall is just likely due to history. This will sure still be a very interesting weekend the fact accumulating snow is possibility for even the coast

As I and others on this and the previous board have pointed out, from 1983 to 1996 (with the small exception of the 1993 March superstorm) there were no major snowstorms in NYC and the immediate coast. Then the Blizzard of 1996 happened, and the switch was flipped. Even though we have had years since with little snowfall, this is just an incredible era.

I have heard a few people mention sun angle. Keep in mind we have the same sun angle as late February.

It is the fact that there isn't an antecedent arctic air mass in place.

Its the equivalent sun angle to 2/11. There should be no real issue with the sun angle though I have seen some sources bring it up as well.

Upton is being <i>extremely</i> bearish for their forecast for NYC:  

Saturday: Rain, mainly after 8am. Temperature falling to around 36 by 4pm. Breezy, with a east wind between 15 and 24 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. <b>New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.</b>  

Saturday Night: Rain and snow before 2am, then a chance of snow. Low around 33. Windy, with a north wind between 20 and 26 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. <b>New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.</b>

I mentioned on Thursday that a flood watch may be warranted for coastal areas Saturday.
