Almost everytime it seems like the storms trend southeast in the last 24 hours or so, there's gotta be some sort of defect that can be identified if this repeatedly occurs? Right? It's almost as if you have to expect it. To those who say they always end up a tick n or nw, I virtually never see that happen. Obviously the storm hasn't hit yet but based the history of these models, youd be wise to hedge your bets on a further SE solution within 24 or so hours.

That's been common this winter mainly and if you are referring to the GFS specifically, historically it rarely does these SE shifts at the last minute quite the opposite actually.

Regardless of the model mayhem today I'd say that the area avg around .5-.6 so 3-6 inches is the way to go

But you do realize a half inch of precip spread out over 48 hours with marginal temps would most likely not yield 3 to 6"? We would not see the dynamic evaporational cooling and accumulations would be slushy during times of steadier/more moderate precipitation.

That's absolutely correct. Would yield dusting to 3" at best.

It would be showery rain/nonaccumulating snow for most of the day. The absolute furthest thing from exciting-I'd rather have 60 and sunny. If the front end doesn't happen tomorrow night, as far as I'm concerned the chances for accumulating snow are quite slim.

9z SREF mean plume snowfall shows 10.8" at KLGA

Taking away the highest outlier (24.74" lol) and the lowest outlier (1.26") still yields an impressive mean of 9.9"

Can you explain how to use this tool? Been trying to figure it out, but I am having no luck. Thanks.
