:weenie::weenie: It will not average 10:1

Unlike previous storms, this airmass is colder and drier and
with the onset of the moderate to heavy snowfall, temperatures
will likely remain at or below freezing for much of the event.
Thus, expect a higher snowfall ratio, closer to 10:1 or even
higher.

take it up with NWS Upton

Yeah, still waiting on my 20" of snow this month they said I'd have. They even increase totals mid storm in the middle of an obvious bust.

Understood ...but hold on the sour grapes, till after we done on this one

They are just so bullish immediately after being burned. There forecasting something is literally unprecedented in NYC history. Calling for greater than 10:1 ratios with a borderline BL and less than stellar mid and upper level temps is suspect. If They cited they believe there will be more liquid than guidance suggests I could get behind that.

We had 80 degrees in February, we had 2 hurricanes up here in a couple year span and we've had 4 huge nor'easters in the span of the last couple of weeks.  "Unprecedented" events are the new normal around here in this decade so 10:1 ratios in a late March storm will certainly not be shocking. The ground is cold, the airmass is cold, there will be a strong storm offshore drawing in its own cold air with tons of mositure so if NYC gets into banding 12+ inches plus is certainly possible. Climo gets thrown out in situations like these.  Usually I'm on the conservative side like you but this storm has a good chance to deliver historical late March totals.

Really? Read Mt. Holly 4pm write up.

8-10:1 in city area, and 11-12:1 interior.

Philly is further inland first of all, less UHI, yeah Sussex can maybe get 11:1(highly doubt it even there during daylight). I don't care about there. NYC will IMO be 8:1 at best.

Yeah, and what did you get last week after being so confident it wouldn't be slop? There's reason why NYC has NEVER had a 12" storm this late...

you have to go 150 years for the last time NYC had 12" on the 21st...1958 just missed with 11.8" on the 21st...Newark got over a foot...

I hope my old stomping grounds really cash in and I think they will (NE Bergen County). The last nor'easter was for us up here with about 18" and more just west of here. This one is your storm with a nice cold airmass in place. Only expecting around 6in here and that might be pushing it. Either way this is looking like an historic storm for spring in NYC and points south and west. Good luck

Newark and NYC are so close to each other, they have the same climate and if one can get over a foot certainly the other can. History is against us, but it is not impossible and while I would not be shocked we see a lower end storm of 6 or so( many stations going with 6-12 ) I would not be shocked if it went the other way as well.

How much of NYC was farmland 150 years ago?
