Hey everyone, I'm a weather enthusiast and just joined this forum, This storm looks to be characterized more by high QPF amounts versus deep pressures and wind.

Which areas do you think will receive the highest QPF entirely in the form of snow?

Somehow, it will be Powderfreak...he always finds a way...

Everyone better hope this isn’t flipping back the other way.  I expected we would see things settle south for another couple of cycles before bouncing north.  This could go to shit in a hurry if this is the beginning of a push back the other way this far out

only in the 850-700mb layer, the 925mb layer there is quite the cold air present only warm to the canal.  A lot of freezing rain and sleet on the 00z NAM.  I might get some substantial snows if the NAM extrapolated after 84 hours with the second frontal wave developing, I think the 12z UKMET model showed this with the 990mb east of CHH, I think this was the second wave.

Too early to nail down totals, but gun to head and based on what I’m reading at this early juncture - I’d guess that the jackpot would be the  Catskills, Berks, Southern Greens and Whites (1 to 2 feet). Though the Catskills and Berks might mix with a bit of sleet. The mountains typically do much better than where the populous live.

I'll say one thing, The radar won't look like shit on this one.

It's the NAM so the usual 84hr caveats apply, but I think you can kinda see where the big mid-level lift moves through our area into NNE on the QPF maps. Maybe we make hay with higher ratios during that time and then we pile on 10:1 on the back 9.

00z Nam had .8" qpf at hr 84, So its either 8" or 12.5" if we went 15:1 or some where in between
