Disagree.  As modeled, snowfall rates of 1" or more per hour will easily exceed NYC melting rates (except maybe streets over subways that are abnormally warm) and once there's a layer of 32F snow, the rest of the snow accumulates easily even at midday, with the high albedo of the snow cover, especially with surface temps below 32F most of the day (indirect solar radiation has little melting effect on newly fallen snow).  Certainly the Park will accumulate easily.

Might just be our storm this time. We'll see. Not really thrilled with losing the day at school, as we are making up days already. But might as well enjoy the ride.

It's also less useful at this range. Euro is the only global I care about right now, and mainly because it's an outlier. 

Euro is nothing special in this range either, especially since it’s a global (ie relatively low res compared to the NAM and RGEM) and doesn’t allow convection.

On the 3k it peaks at +2C around 775mb at 21Z over my head.  SkewT graphically shows a pretty deep above freezing layer for 3 or 4 hours.  From that view, we might also be in a relative dry slot at that time.   On the 12k NAM its all snow.

Good point, I should have clarified I was basing it on 12k NAM, not 3K which is undoubtedly more sleety.

My rule of thumb is to be cautious with large isothermal layers. The fact that it exists is indicative of melting in that layer. That, combined with my observations about undergoing mid-level WAA makes me weary of more sleet (for a brief time) on the 12k NAM. Overall though, even with that concern my forecast is 7-14 and feel as though even if my concerns verified about the sleet, it would still be good for the lower end of the range. If it weren't for the sleet concern I'd probably go 10-16.

I think we're in a good spot in NW Suffolk

I'm dumbfounded at the guy that's calling 3-6 inches for new York city he must be from northern New Jersey. Don't worry dude you're not getting shafted I'm sure you'll get the death band after it stalls at NYC and pivots north after several hours. I'm in sure you'll get hammered the whole sjbforum will except Monticello 

If it’s 34 instead of 32 for much of the storm and the best banding happens away from the city, it could certainly happen. I would definitely go with 8-12 given the bullish guidance. But it’s been wrong before.

Agreed it's been wrong but the temps were never wrong on any of the past storms the writing was on the wall for the past few noreasters this month for the temps to be above freezing on all guidance. This time around the writing is on the wall but instead its the opposite they are depicting temps below freezing. 3-6 Is too little besides this storm is going to be a long lasting event about 24hrs probably around 20 cause they always move faster the modeled. Regardless I think we are okay unless this storm just gets undermodeled and scoots east. Doubt it. Can't wait till tomorrow gotta track the death band. You know what I noticed tracking storms is probably just as fun as being out in one!
