I don't think I've ever seen 6-7" an hr rates in my life.. Most of the guidance the past 24 hrs has been showing this for the HV. Gonna be wild!

Parts of the Mohawk Valley snowed 6-7 inches per hour in the Christmas 02 storm and Keene NH I think had 7-8 an hour in March 2001

I've seen rates like that,it's FKNA awesome.  When I lived in Tahoe (a loooong time ago) we had 10"/hr for 4 hrs once, I watched it go from light in the house to dark as the banks outside the windows went from sill level to over the top.  When you have to dig your way out of the house you gain a new respect for heavy snow :)

The 12z NAM is running. It will be interesting to see the 12z NAM's solution. The 6z parallel run was consistent with the 0z run (as did the RGEM). The 0z and 6z versions of the 12 km NAM diverged with the latter producing a lot more mixing/liquid precipitation in parts of the greater NYC area.

Here's my final call. 

12-18" in NYC proper and immediate surrounding areas. Remember that strong winds, possible mixing and approaching dry slot will limit totals somewhat. Still a historic storm for the coast in March. 

10-14" for Eastern Nassau and Western Suffolk County. 8-12" for the rest of Long Island with possibly 10-14" in the usual North shore spots.

I like a general 12-18" for most of Central NJ, north of 195 till about Rt. 78. North of 78 and West of the GSP in NJ I like a general 18-24" with a few localized 24-30" amounts in the elevated areas of NW NJ and then up into Orange County. Otherwise North of 84 I like a general 18-24".

For Northeast PA I like 12-18" with a few isolated areas >18" possible in the higher terrain. For the area from about Philly to Trenton I like 8-12" with isolated areas of 12-18" North of Philly in the hill country.

Overall a historic storm for the time of year. 

Very strong winds will cause coastal flooding, possible power outages and white out conditions for a period tomorrow morning into early afternoon. 

Comes in as a wall of snow around 2-3AM. Height of the storm is from about 6AM to 2PM. Should be all gone by about 6-7PM except for a few lingering snow showers.

Yanks I agree with all this good call

I agree, pretty solid as it looks right now.

im still feeling the big time power outage issue for the coast. So even though amounts will be less with heavy wet snow and any sleet the cake effect mixed with gusts over 60 is going  To bring down trees and power lines. So even though there may be less snow overall the net effect is worse at the coast

Why would NAM track further east on 12z introduce mixing? Isn't further east good for NYC?

It is good, but IMO the more important question is where the 700 and 850 lows track. If those lurch east, the mix line lurches east with them. So far the NAM seems to be bringing them east a decent bit.
