Enough of a bump north though to keep hope alive that the seasonal north trend might continue. On the 6z NAM you had to go down to Ocean county to get into accumulating snow. 12z gets the edge of accumulating snow up close to NYC. Pretty good bump north.
But what is coming north? Anafront snow? There is hardly even a wave along the front.....this is a completely different evolution and depiction than we saw 24 hours ago. Agree with NJ....more snow tomorrow. Maybe this bodes better for next week's threat somehow :-D

yes, it has definitely changed.  Lighter precip amounts too-going to be difficult to accumulate much if that's the case with a daytime event and less than .50 of LE.

UKMET now has a big coastal storm Sunday, but it's a miss.  Has little to nothing for Saturday morning now.

It’s been on that train to an extent now since yesterday. It’s had a different evolution to the entire process

This won’t really stick especially around the city unless the rates are moderate or better. A few tenths of an inch liquid over 9 or 12 hours won’t mean anything. Away from the city that could be an inch or two especially if it’s early morning. 

I'm satisfied we had our April snowstorm already lol and the most snow that's ever fallen here post equinox.  But if we dont get the Saturday storm (even DC looks like 1-3 inches now) there's a chance we could still get the Tuesday storm before we transition over to summer?

certainly possible as the cold is still impressive by then....

I had asked that question yesterday about the snowiest spring ever figuring we were close at 13.9 inches but Bluewave posted today we are in the number two spot with 14.5 being the record. With NYC being that close we have to go for it now, somehow some way.

would need to see a real model get on board...the GGEM has low verification scores.

Despite the low verification scores, there have been several snow events this season where the GGEM was the first model to pick up them. The model certainly is useful. Not that I'm high on the monday night threat.

Yeah who knows if we'll ever get this chance again in our lifetimes.  I also noticed that Don said that we might return to a colder pattern close to the end of the month, but it would be extremely difficult to get any measurable snow by then.

I see that NYC has never had any measurable snow in May (latest is 0.5" on April 29) but I know there have been traces in May, even just a few years ago, close to Memorial Day!  And there's been measurable snow in southern NJ in May.
