At work and have only been able to glance at models.  Saw the huge 12 km NAM hit but puzzled by the big gap in snowfall amounts for much of NJ from Philly to NYC on the 3 km NAM.  Can't be sleet as TT counts sleet as snow.  Rain?  Less precip for some odd reason (banding?)?  Thanks...

Just wonder what the thermal profile of the CMC is verbatim, considering the 540 line runs through Trenton up into Poughkeepsie at 18z.

not that I'm saying I buy the CMC thermals, but just curious

It's warm. Like you said, ignore it.

It looks like snow is almost up to Trenton now, can anyone confirm?

Can't speak for Trenton, but it has been snowing here for around an hour. I am about 35 miles south-southwest.

Edit: Per 511nj.org's traffic cams, it's snowing at the Columbus/Florence exit of I-295, which isn't terribly far from Trenton.

Look out, this doesn't happen every day, but I'm going bullish. 

I'd say widespread 8-12" forum wide with areas of 15" depending on where banding sets up. To me it's a great look aloft which should support heavy snow rates and a very nice CCB tomorrow afternoon/evening. Mid level evolution/tracks are about classic.

What can go wrong though-stubborn warm layer aloft, subsidence zones in between banding, surface temps ending up at 34 in the city instead of 30-31 where it would really stick. But I think we have as good a shot for this to work out on March 20th as anything I've seen. 

Look out for power outages-especially on LI where it could really be pasty/thick wet snow for most of it and winds will make that worse. If it gets crazy here I'll definitely make it to the boardwalk and take pics. I promise I won't wimp out again like on 1/4. :P
