I don't see anyway this can be an ice storm near the coast. Nothing has changed from what I originally called, a system that will do to NYC what Thursday's system did to Chicago.

What was the change there? I haven't followed that one too much but I did notice there were some short range changes for Chicago...

The 1st storm is really amped up but cold enough for our area.

Let me ask you something...how do you know it is cold enough...I see surface maps at 72 hours and 96 hours and nothing in between...how do you know the column on the UKMET is cold enough for snow throughout the event?

I do not think I have ever seen the GFS do such a nice job of drawing the water equivalent snow total isopleths...with 5 mm on southern LI and 15mm on northern LI through hour 120...for a global model, that took an effort / per the maps on the Canadien website.

That Euro run is really iffy, it looks like big front end snows at a glance but I am defiinitely worried about a SE flow at the surface it appears to show. Its hard to say at this range, you can get a subtle kink or CAD type feature as we did in the January 87 storm that turns the winds just enough to the NE.

This is in reference to the 2nd (major) storm, right?

Euro looks a lot colder than GFS doesnt it? at least at 850.

Yeah its easily cold enough at 850 from 96-120 for snow and it does show a CAD signature but the positioning of the high coupled with the SW direction the storm approaches from causes a SE wind appearance in the isobars, its tough to say at this range how accurate that is. If we shifted this Euro run 100 miles SE its entirely snow for everyone probablty.
