My takeaway from the NAM is juicier.

Puts some big totals north and west of the city, and somehow has a little bullseye of .50 freezing rain over my house (but not north, south, east or west)

Not sure if that’s a function of it struggling at long range, or picking up on something. My guess is that there some brief warming from the inland low, and the totals differ based on the how much QPF there is during that period. So it looks wonky.

I hope we have a nice fat swath of straight snow by tommorow.

Yep, gives us like 8 inches of snow and a bunch of ice. That would be fairly awful.

I'm not buying that mixed precip yet. I get that the mid level low will be transfering and depending on how long that takes some warm air will be moving in at the 850 level. That being said, the surface will be at 22°F at the time the NAM shows 33° at the 850. Thats a crazy and ridiculous gradient. I'm not saying that is cannot happen, it certainly has, but that is pretty rare to see that kind of disparity. At least im hoping it is...

I know you say this. But storms always seem to shift east at the last minute.  At least we are in that zone now. 

I'm also totally basing this off of wishcasting and the fact that every meteorologist on the planet still has the main axis of precip east of the city.  The CMC run has me hyped right now though.

I’ve seen some still question a coastal track. That seems so dead to me at this point.
