1-1.25" of liquid and all of that is suppose to be Snow.

No it isn't. I think whatever most of us receive outside of the developing coastal low will be rain or slush unless you're well inland. The initial shot of precip will be dependent on the primary low, and it will bring with it warming at the low levels.

and I assume all models show this...

 

unless there is a much earlier phase this is going to be like xmas 2002...some lucky areas in the immediate NYC area will see 4-7"

The progressivity of the pattern is still worrisome to me, and if anything screws it it will be the lack of any mechanism to slow the pattern down in time for us. The model agreement on at least a decent solution for us is encouraging, but the Euro backed off a little more than I would have liked. It doesn't have to much more before the phase is too late for people outside of CT. I do think the GFS was too warm though.

What you don't want to see is that southern stream wave continue to trend weaker. If that happens, we're going to be in trouble. Right now we're still in good shape for a solid warning criteria snowfall and I would expect winter storm watches with the afternoon package for sure.

The northern stream actually dug more and did more of the work. If that wave were the same strength as prior runs, it would have been even less of a solution for us. The faster flow also caused more separation.

Do you guys even listen? Don't take the P-Types seriously from the GGEM when there's a 1046 mB HP over SSE Canada.

my man - every single model shows the same thing, and now, even the EC, show a later phase, not a particularly great combo for us...the 1040hP cell in QUE means nothing with a closed h8 low in western NYS

yeah, this.

 

I hope the EC doesnt take it that one step further...or slower with the northern stream (faster southern stream)

Right, you want the northern stream to dig more and meet up with the strong southern stream wave like the 12z run showed yesterday. When that happens, she goes boom much further SW. The reason she blows up is because of the phase, if you lose that, you lose your big storm.

I'd say confidence is too low for Upton to issue any watches at this point. They'll probably want to wait for tonight and tomorrow morning's models first. Mt Holly could go with watches for the poconos/NW NJ however.

From a timing stand point overall based on blend of the 12z runs

 

Snow should start between 1AM and 3AM Fri morning.  Snow changes to rain between 5AM and 7AM.  Rain back to snow Fri afternoon (between 2PM and 5PM)  .. Heaviest snows fri evening (between 7PM and 4 AM)  Snow ends Sat morning by 7AM.

 

At this time blend of latest guidance about 0.75 - 1.25 liq

 

snowfall projections

3-6/4 -8 from about Trenton to Woodbridge

4-8/6-10  N-NJ into NYC (higher as you head east)

6 - 12 LI

Upton can go with watches areawide.. They can always downgrade the city/coast to advisories if need be.

C'mon dude, they will go with watches area wide. If anything Mt. Holly would be cautious because north west sections will probably see the least amount of snow.

We were able to close off soon enough for the early November storm, but everything since then has just been a little

progressive for the best results here. I can remember the late December storm really blooming over New England.

Hopefully, we don't get a 12z day of storm precip shift east like that one.
