we can only hope the rain isn't heavy enough to wash away most of the snow...with any luck we could have 3-4" before the mix and change...hopefully it changes to drizzle...

 

I would rather it wash away the snow than have frozen slop for Monday morning.

Hour 42- The warm air punches fromn east to west all the way to NYC and the GSP south of the EWR   . if this surface prog is off by just 3 hours ,will make a big  diff for the city considering the rates at this time   850`S get N of NYC at this time

Not saying this is exactly what's going to happen with this event because the WAA surge appears to be a bit stronger but 2/22/08 is a good example of a coastal hugger during a +AO that produced a good front end thump before the change to rain for the coast.

I was in Stony Brook on Long Island for that event and the question was how much snow before the changeover. Ended up being the biggest storm of that winter and very minimal rain at the end.

I could see something like this happening.  WAA precip moves in faster and stronger than forecasted, and we get dryslotted just as the temperatures start going above freezing,

 Hr 48 advertises a change back , 850s come crashing to the coast , surface collapse . this is not  a bad run

 

 

 I take it back , sleet at best NYC south - surface comes in plus 2 at 850 - my bad

Factor in the GFS always being off the mark on it's surface temps depictions and perhaps we stay frozen longer than advertised maybe not snow but frozen.
