While the GFS thermal profiles have a known warm bias, it's going to flip all areas to plain rain if the surface low takes a track into upstate NY. 

a positive EPO and NAO and  MJO in a warm phase will tend to do that...……..

The key to forcing the redevelopment would be stronger influence from the high pressure to the North. Again, the GFS doesn't have a ton of skill when it comes to CAD setups. The Euro though isn't much different so the GFS has more weight. The strong CAD would at least prevent the surface from torching and we would hold onto snow for a few more hours.

It's a little hard to see on this graphic but the ICON shows the CAD signature. The signature is with the sagging of the isobars to the Southwest over NY, PA, NJ and New England. Think of that as the cold air essentially pressing down from the high.

I am still at odds with the GFS it’s a depiction track and thermal profiles wise.... we’ll see. 

Its prediction may be wrong, but this isn't one of those cases where the surface low track is clearly not in harmony with the model's own synoptic depiction. The trough axis is well west... you can see how cyclogensis is rooted to the divergent jet streak region.
