The snow looks very much like it will come in as a wall. That should hopefully keep the warm push suppressed for a time before it comes in all-out, at which point we'll see where the sleet/freezing rain set up.

Those of us that don't lose power, lol.  Even just an inch or two of additional wet snow with some sleet then and then several hours of freezing rain on these wires and branches spells trouble, and regardless of if we turn to light rain at the end, still spells trouble.

To be honest....here's my call for the storm :

NYC/NE NJ/north shore Long Island : around 3-5" snow, extremely heavy from the start lasting barely a few hours and quickly turning to plain rain after a bit of sleet. Little to no icing !

NW NJ : 5-7" snow, extremely heavy from the start turning to a rather prolonged period of sleet, then plain rain. Little to no icing !

Little to no icing? What are you basing that on!

colder at the surface and warmer aloft is the general rule for these types of systems. i favor significant icing for the western metro area

Agree. I think the initial burst will surprise a lot of people, with everyone calling for a "bust high" but then out of the blue the sleet/ice will take over quickly.
