Just west of NYC stays all snow while the city east has issues.  

Most of the immediate Western suburbs and NYC itself would have major dry slot issues, probably anyone East of the Parkway and maybe even anyone East of the 287, 78 interchange.

This looks like Rain to period of heavier snows as deformation band swings through. I'd go 2-4 for city, 4-8 north and west with 12 to Sussex county.

Nam might be too amped up but this run shows snow to dry slot for NYC with a few inches and alot more snow to the north and west. 

3-6 seems good but it's only the nam right now. Have to see the other models.

Wow that's not very much given we were talking about 12"+ just a few hours ago.

Of course, basing your forecast on the NAM is never a good idea. The only runs that matter are the Euro and RGEM.

Pretty obvious it's no big deal for the City now. Guess I'll be working tomorrow. The NW shift every storm has been amazing. Why can't it be corrected?

Wait until the other models before you saying it's no big deal. This is snow to dry slot for NYC.

The dry slot is a real threat for NYC itself, and places like Newark, New Brunswick and all of Long Island. Further North and West this is still a massive snowstorm, but the highest totals are now in the Poconos, and places to the West and East of Albany.

Rain, sleet, or dry slot, something will always kill off a big March storm here. Even, incredibly, suppression one year. It's like the Red Sox used to be with the series....

A smaller storm would be nice so we don't lose power again.

What does a dry slot look like on these various graphs, serious question

So whenever you have mid-level cyclones passing nearby, you have sinking air, which naturally causes a dry slot, similar to why the eye of a hurricane is clear, of course that's an extreme case, but you can get eyes on some of these nor'easters. If I could post a model image showing relative humidity, you could easily see the dry air. @forkyfork posted one yesterday.
