Models Have Us On Northern Edge Of Snow 3/4/16

Looks like the UKMET gives some decent overrunning snow before the coastal brush? What does it give most of the area a couple inches of snow?

Not much. Total precip maps have less then 5mm of total precip. Closer to 3mm.

That's not gonna get it done this late in the season.

Not a fair assessment. It's drier with the over-running mostly, but the actual coastal is noticeably north of 0z and wetter.

Caving towards the GFS, IMO.

It's game over for the northwest suburbs, eastern Long Island gets a couple inches maybe from the fringes of the coastal. The overrunning from the dying primary low is looking less and less impressive

I agree that it's over for the northwest burbs. I wouldn't call it over for anyone within 25 miles of the ocean. 1"-2"/2"-4" is quite possible for NYC and a small shift north could bring even more.

I'd take 5 mm and run.  That's 2" of snow at 10:1 ratios and since most should fall during night time hours, it'll accumulate with temps 2-4F below 32F.  Even an inch of snow on untreated roads will make for an impacted morning rush in these parts.  Obviously, accumulations after 8-9 am will be much harder, as temps will be near 32F and the early March indirect sunlight has a melting rate that cancels out a light snowfall rate, i.e., one would need at least moderate snowfall (close to 1/2" per hour) to get accumulation, especially on bare/wet paved surfaces.

If we only had a little more spacing between the storm today and this one.

The surfers are going to love the swell thrown back to the coast from this.
