Really? 75 mile shift means NYC gets nothing. "Minimum" for NYC is 0.0.

The chances of a total shutout (0.0 snow) in NYC are now extremely slim. The models would have started hinting at it by now. Unless the EPS shows something crazy in the next half hour, it's pretty much a given that NYC sees an accumulating snow between Friday night and Sunday morning

Dude, you have not been following these for many years then.  A 75 mile shift is par for the f---ing course.

Have to agree with DRZ. We were forecast to receive 2-3' of snow last year and basically whiffed on the main event. We are by no means "safe" at this point, regardless of what the models say.

I think people are traumatized over that event. That was an extremely rare goof. Sure it can happen again but it's not likely.

Did not have model consensus for 2-3' though... NWS bit and paid the price.  Here we have less spread in the solutions.  Not that I'm debating whether or not we could whiff, but I think a total whiff for NYC is becoming highly unlikely.

we've seen good busts of 75 miles as well . . . 75 miles is basically within the margin of error for a forecast 12 hours before the first snow hits the ground.  Let alone 3 days out.

Queens received 12" for that storm.

If 12" is whiffed, you need help.

NYC received 9"-12" as well.

Exactly it wasn't a whiff, but how we got there wasn't as planned either. We had that band of overrunning snow that sat right over the city and dumped 5" before the main precip shield. So we really only had 5" with the main show

The good news is this is a completely different scenario with much better model agreement going way back

We could easily bust high and watch Boston squirm and smoke cirrus
