My point and click here is forecasting only a 30% chance of snow with no accumulations. NWS humping that GFS hard.

While I do disagree with upton they really got burned BAD with the Jan 15 storm discounting the gfs and humping the euro. I think NYC is in play now and they will adjust by morning for a last minute CYA. 

Ill be reporting obs and measurements from Columbia all day Tomorrow

NYC should get a winter storm warning in my opinion.

Disagree.  Those model outputs translate to 3-5" at 10:1 ratios and the GFS is still not on board, so I'd bet on just advisories for now for NYC.  Always time to upgrade them to warnings if the snow truly hits.  I'd also guess that we see Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset, Union, Essex, Hudson, Bergen, Eastern Passaic and Rockland/Westchester and the coastal CT counties added to the advisory list; could definitely see Nassau and maybe Monmouth (and eastern CT) upgraded to warnings.  I bet they wait for the Euro, though, just to be sure.

The Euro was on its own for several runs with that storm and was backing down at this point. This time the other guidance is trending west, verified obs are backing a deeper system and the GFS has busted before with these types of systems. Anything can happen though and the banding setup and western cutoff is always tough to pin down. I'm liking the chances for at least approaching warning criteria in Nassau and a decent advisory event in NYC.

Well said.  This does not look like the time to ride the GFS against every other model.

I don't remember seeing anything there at 9:30pm. They must've forgotten to change the time after expanding from eastern CT.

1/07 00z Guidance Summary

 

NYC

 

SREF:  0.45

NAM (regular): 0.40- 0.45 

GFS: 0.10 - 0.15

RGEM: 0.40 - 0.45

UKMET: 0.40

GGEM: 0.35 - 0.40

ECM:: 0.35 - 0.40

Since I'm not sure if SACRUS is awake, I'll take the liberty of adding in the Euro - let's hope the consensus verifies - huge improvement on the coating I was expecting 2 days ago.  The NWS almost has to upgrade all those I-95 corridor counties from Trenton to NYC and CT to Advisories.  And maybe warnings for Nassau/Monmouth.  Unless they're seeing something most of us aren't.  This has turned into, by far, the best few days of the winter.
