Me thinks this is far too conservative. 

Conservative has been the way to go for the last three storms, especially for the coast.

This storm will have better BL temps, and the banding should be right over 95, I just think the 12-18" is overdone. I basically have NYC in the 3-6" range which isn't bad for March 21st. 

Whomever manages to get under that deformation band will cash in, no doubt about that. But how many hours of non accumulating snow will fall before and after?

I could be wrong, just think that the usual areas on the South shore have mixing issues.

And the 3k NAM actually has you flirting with dry air

That's 2AM Thursday.  Everyone is flirting with dry air by then.  Besides, with that scale, the difference between the light greens and the browns could be trivial.

That makes sense. I might be ignoring climo too much, and maybe the Euro too. But even if you blend those in I like a 6-12 call right now for the city.

If you look at total QPF though you can see the slightly lower amounts to the South of LI.

Not saying it's right, just making an observation.

The 3K NAM always jumps precip around run to run. It tries to find the banding and always shifts it...

FWIW the 18z RGEM put up a 30"+ spot over Eastern Burlington County and 20"+ spot over Western Suffolk.

Pretty amazing stuff.  And if that bumps north at all, a lot of us could be talking about those totals too.  Won't take much of a bump to do that.  As is, it looks like Hoboken/NYC is in the 1.5-1.75 LE Range and not too far away from the next range upwards (or downwards, I suppose, depending on your perspective).

If it is right, there will be less snow on the fish.

Honestly, the placement of the heavier bands is not known yet.  That picture (and all the others) will shift around.

I just think that you're going to have a hard time accumulating in the city, aside from parts of SI and Northern Queens. I guess you could group parts of upper Manhattan and the Bronx in there too.

If temps were 33-34 like the last three storms, I would be going with 1-3" in NYC. I think 3-6" is a good call, because you're going to lose some to melting even with great rates. If everything works out perfectly, then the city could do much better than that, or if the EPS is correct, maybe everyone misses.

This is why I enjoy taking stabs at making forecasts.

If everything works out perfectly, then the city could do much better than that, but I still cannot get past the Euro being so far South. That's really scary at such a close range.

Especially how funny the NAM looked wanting to follow it.

Eps is skewed by way east members.
