It may end up very close to NYC.  My hunch is there will be a screw zone roughly along a line from ORH South-southwest to about FOK where they miss the main event and get screwed by the likely more intense band to their west.  They probably will still see more in Westhampton than New Hyde Park or Garden City but it may be closer than anyone thinks in some spots 

Hey that's me!

Wait a minute....

I hope it’s not too wet of a snow for our forum members on L.I. That’s not fun if they get a lot and it knocks out trees and power.

Spent all day yesterday cleaning up the down tree in my yard from last week's snowfall. The trees have taken a beating here, and many are still all bent over and damaged. I am hoping its drier snow.

Fwiw, @RU848789 knows what he's talking about what it comes to this stuff.

Thanks for the props - if one reads my profile, they'll know why I talk a lot about snow crystal nucleation and growth, kinetic networks and snowfall/melting rates, and the vagaries of numerical modeling of complex, chaotic, non-linear systems like the weather (and chemical reactors).

88 now if the models were in ERROR and its actually more West than depicted that would be sweet !!!

It ain't gonna come west enough for my neck of the woods at this point, John Q Public here in E Nj is expecting 2-4 tomorrow and that is really unlikely.

Im not sure that anything is likely or certain right now,,,storm is still developing and the track is not written in stone and the models seem to be struggling with the dynamics

Actually, I think it's a pretty good call by the NWS.  Latest HRRR shows that too with 3-4" amounts in far eastern NJ, not too far from our area.  Sure it can bust, but almost every model is showing 2-3" for northern Middlesex County.

Been there done that...last week.  Multiple trees down, one is still resting on the electric and it ripped the cable wire clean off the pole and is lying on the ground.  Apparently we are not a priority because we don't have any current outages but that could change.  We lost power briefly a couple of times during last weeks snowstorm, but I guess we have been lucky overall.

I was just looking at the maps that seemed to say around 1-2, but seriously we can't afford more snow days here. The few inches we got last week was punishing. But I'll take a delayed opening. Older one's on spring break I never like him driving to RU in snow; he did say the campus took a bit of a beating and had more snow. It's a ten minute ride from here if that on a good day, yet such variation.

Well, we got 8.5" in Metuchen, while NB's official measurement (Rutgers Gardens) was 10", so they got a bit more (I think you got less than me, correct? Maps showed less as one went NE).  Sounds like my son (in grad school now) had a blast in it.

Yes, no kiddin' where BL temps weren't an issue. No one is debating that. You don't have a marine BL in Mahwah NJ.

It was 33-34 degrees here for most of that storm and we struggled to accumulate until the CCB arrived around 12:30, otherwise totals would have been even higher.

4 and change  IMBY, but up towards Plainfield/Scotch Plains they had 9. BIL in Piscataway had 9.

You were under an intense 40dbz band for hours. Again, no one is debating if the rates are there, 33-34 at the surface doesnt matter. You find me one model that has heavy snow in NYC metro area or LI. You have to go to mtk to find any semblance of heavy snow and that is for a 3-6 hr period tops. But in this case eastern LI also has --by far-- the warmest BL...

Yes absolutely this, I work at UI and the past two weeks have been hell, if this is going to be another heavy wet snow event then I would rather get none at all (as sad as it is to say that).

I hope it doesn’t happen tonight for you.

The Low is definitely moving 2 to 3 hours slower than expected. (maybe more)  And slightly closer to the coast. 

areas in western parts of Virginia received 6 to 12 inches of snow today...no model had this.     So for sure expect higher than expected totals.  GFS is closest with the overall coverage of QPF, but is significantly underpredicting.   As it has already on the western fringes. 

there will be mesoscale type banding in the bands of snow overnight...hit or miss most likely though.   Nowcasting ftw, don't even bother with the models at this point...they still haven't gotten it right yet.
