Wow! 3 hrs since the last comment on this event.

General malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament? 

We’re definitely teetering on the edge of a light event or something more moderate with some warning level totals, also with some perhaps making it into the city proper. I’d think some more eyes would be paying attention here.

NAM with a big slug of precip that comes in and then gets eaten by dry air and shunted out like other models. It's just more robust with that front end so it's a sharp cutoff between a few inches and nothing. 

Dry air really tries to push down as the low is approaching. Dewpoints in CT/Hudson Valley are in the low single digits when the snow is coming through PA.

BTW  since it only goes out to 84 hours the precip still has at least several hours remaining and that snow map is incomplete - BUT the NAM is still out of its most accurate range of less then 60 hours

Maybe but it would be light. The dry air wins out and dries up the snow shield. Verbatim it hits an absolute brick wall. When you see that WNW-ESE shunt on these type of events in PA through this area you know that brick wall means business.

Now this is getting complicated for next week

That'll definitely be a nice event for someone and quite vigorous but it'll again hit the brick wall somewhere. You'll have to see where the upper level flow goes from SW (moist) to westerly (dry confluence) to see where the snow makes it to. It actually goes ESE or SE after it forms near the VA capes. Essentially a big bowling ball you might see in March. Nothing to force it poleward which might be a good thing since it would then turn into a cutter and washout.

Verbatim at the time the 144hr storm is happening there's a lobe of added energy coming down from the 50-50 type low in Canada which reinforces the confluence and shunts it out or even SE. It would be good if that lobe was weaker or timed differently. That's how we got horribly screwed on 2/6/10, worst possible timed added confluence.

Ugly trends tonight (except NAM) 

Might not be since the guidance has been inconsistent all week and now the GFS and CMC are suggesting the early week event is the appetizer with only a couple inches snow and then a couple days later comes the main event and the possibility of phasing and a MECS

Yea for now it’s a bit too far SE but obviously bears close watching
