The 0C isotherm at 850mb passes us between hours 66-72, but most of the precipitation has already fallen. Sounds like snow-->sleet/ice-->drizzle. Classic SW flow event in a cold airmass where most of the QPF falls before mid-levels warm.

Moved up to somers now. So I am a bit north of you now.

The 0C 850 line is up to DXR though at 72 hours on the 12z Euro, so you've probably changed to sleet or ice at that point. It jumps north quite a bit between 66 hours and 72 hours, unfortunately. But we've already picked up nearly 1" of QPF by the time it passes us. If we can get 4-8" here plus ice, I'm not complaining when this looked like a drenching rainstorm. Things are definitely trending in our favor again.

Ice would be a disaster up here in Sussex.trees still leaning on power lines from sandy.

This is why I was surprised when 90% of people wrote the event off yesterday. I think if there are future corrections they're likely to be slightly SE. The inland runner made no sense meteorologically w/o the energy transfer to the coast. We could easily turn this into a decent frozen event for the metro area.

The event has been 100-150 miles or so from being a snow event for a big portion of the area now for a good 48 hours. This has potential to resemble 12/9/05 pretty closely where it could be entirely frozen just inland but places like JFK or Islip could see mostly rain.

Nice. There'll definitely be more snow than rain for the LHV with that type of resemblance.

Now that the midweek storm is trending colder and 6-12 numbers spit out for nw NJ, what would that translate into up in Sullivan County at 1,600 feet?.

I'm conjfused with tonight, wcbs/WINS all say 1-2 N and NW of NYC but up here they're calling for 1-2 inches too, thought 2-4 would be more likely.

The 12z GFS gridded forecast for Monticello (that I pulled from Weatherbell) spits out 8" of snow before a possible changeover.
