A lot of models are trying to tuck the low into the coast from 36-39 hours, which the SREF shows with the spread towards Cape May NJ. There is limited time to do so, however, as a kicker in the northern stream is arriving by 42 hours. The shortwave behind the storm should limit amplification and thus restrict totals to the 8-12" amounts, keeping this a notch below a historic storm.

 

Probably. Although, this could be a rare event when the heaviest snowfall will dump quite quickly and we could be looking at 2"/hr. So maybe someone could be looking at 15" or more at Central LI. That is if the storm tilts a bit faster. It won't take much.

be cautious, a couple members are so amplified they're seriously screwing with the mean

 

The spread is favoring a more westward track if anything. The QPF increase from 9z to 15z is quite significant with regards to how much it backed up the .5" line into NJ

Yup.  However we've always seen this being a tricky component in terms of it's speed and timing in doing so.  Will be very interesting to watch.
