You can't be serious, euro cuts this in half but it amounts to about 0.50" of liquid give or take which is more than enough for 4-8. The Euro may not even be entirely correct. The GFS says this is a 6-12" snowstorm out there.

A fast-moving and intricate trough with many moving parts isn't "definitely" going to snow a lot anywhere yet. Some places have more hope than others but this could easily move out to sea or develop even later.

Vice versa. Look at how warm the temperatures are today, some reports of 60+ temperatures down in Virginia and North Carolina. This may seem like a negative factor but it's actually a huge thermal gradient and ridge that sharpens the orientation of the trough. This event is worth watching.

Upton gives me .03 of snow with a liquid of .18...........................euro was warm at 12z.

Its over

This is going to start as rain or rain/snow mix at best even for areas 35 miles northwest of NYC. The qpf is limited and that's why upton scaled back amounts so much. You won't have to worry about slick travel tomorrow morning given the fact that it was 50 plus today with sunshine all day long. That blacktop is really going to retain this warmth

Not if the storm takes too long to form and the baroclinic zone is swept east. I guess anything can happen but the overwhelming odds are against significant impacts.

January 25th 2000 was expected the afternoon of the 24th to be a miss similar to this weekend system - then all of a sudden radar showed on the evening of the 24th that the precip was heading due north towards us inland up the coast - so the forecast had to be changed in the evening after the PM update had the precip missing to the east- so anything is possible with these types of coastal storms

If you look at the 500mb chart, it's nothing like the storm we're having now (same with 12/30/00), and models have improved greatly since then. It's pure wishcasting to think such a scenario will happen now. Absolutely nothing supports it.

models have improved greatly enough to not have an error of 75 -100 miles 24 - 36 hours in advance ??? Don't think so.........100 miles further west and millions more folks are having a storm - and don't say I am forecasting that to happen but to just discount it is wrong
