That's an infuriating gradient. 8 miles between 4" and 12", just because of a few degrees. And here I thought the difference between me and Will was frustrating.

Reminds me of some marginal mid-Atlantic storms that I've seen.

yeah, I've had it good on the coast for a while. And the worst part is, I'm snowing so hard, but with ground temps at 33 degrees, it's melting as it accumulates. Maybe we'll get some more with the final band coming through.

Can’t believe you only have 6”. That’s some cruddy luck being barely south of the goods. I bet some place like Bellingham has at least 9-10”

Sounds like NNE mountain towns.  Definitely harder to swallow in SNE, where there's less variation.  I still think the QPF in 4" vs. 13" is likely the same, which has some benefits to both sides.  Sloppy paste to cold snow.

I was wondering which model captured what happened in PHL/NYC/NJ best so far? I wasn't really paying attention to what the models were saying for down there.

I'd say NAM and Euro... kept the best forcing farther northwest of Philly arcing into NNJ

RGEM and GFS blasted Philly area with 20-30" iirc

A blend was best. Euro was too generous for CNJ putting up 2.5” qpf all snow in Mercer, Monmouth, and Middlesex counties. Canadians too generous for extreme SEPA.

I think the CF ruined it here. It's had a tough time accumulating around 32-33, and had it been a few degrees colder we'd be talking double digits here.

Incredibly frustrating, even more so with such a promising mid level setup... been a while since we've snowed this hard, now going on 6 hours, but ground truth is so poor

Literally 1-2F BL temp was the difference between 15-20 inches and a few inches of slop
