So I guess your having the party now instead of animal!

6-12" for us if it happens wouldn't be anything to sneeze at either- though as Enigma said cut NAM totals in half and you get 3-6" which is still respectable for March.

The NAM has my attention. I was honestly puzzled how some of the globals had this an all rain event with a deep low cranking and rotting around the BM. I mean that’s close to a classic setup even without a cold air mass to start. No doubt this will end as snow for I-95, it’s just a matter of whether we get nailed with the CCB and get 6”+ or if we get some snow bands at the end for a few slushy inches on colder surfaces. The trend is our friend and the climo is our trend. For those north and west of I-95 who can cash in on the primary low moisture and the easternly fetch banding in New England I really like your chances for a 10”+ storm. No doubt someone is going to get clocked. This should be a lot of fun to track and the wind element could make it special.

Majority of the population in the area have heard nothing about snow for friday. This is gonna as a shock for many.

NPR and CBS ( radio ) have merely mentioned the possibility of snow; they have been hawking rain and wind. We'll see what the latest updates are.

Hopefully the other models follow suit with the robust CCB and closed low. They’ve been trending that way so that’s a plus. 

this is going to be the ultimate now casting event

That said, the NAM is likely too heavy on accums given that ratios will likely be below 10-1 near the city and coast, and we will need the heavy rates to really accumulate. It would also be better for accums with snow at 32 rather than 34. I wouldn’t go higher than 8-1 for ratios in that area. Inland and elevated areas may be 10 or 11-1.

Um colonia/Woodbridge is 6-9 on that map

Well 7 or so, yes, but I was thinking Bernie Rayo as well, and I don't think we would see 9, haven't yet this year. March storms for this area are not big snowmakers. The 9 on that map is a bit north of here. This would be starting as rain right?

It's good to see the Nam colder

I think 2-4 is a good call right now for the area. We still have the overnight models and at 12z tomorrow.
