Nam almost made it back to planet earth. It's still hovering though and deciding whether to land or not. 

Getting there but still a ways to go before being at consensus. Still spikes most of us from the Tappan Zee on south into the 40s on Fri because of how dominant the primary is/where the secondary forms. But that would be in the dryslot after 95% of precip falls. Verbatim it would be a few inches of slop that would freeze solid on Fri night.

Colder doesn't necessarily equal snowier-although thus far the trend today has been for the snow line to also be dropping south.    

For a shot at more snow we have to watch the primary and hope it dies off sooner, and the associated mid level lows-hopefully those weaken. That will slow the mid level warm push. But it's a very long shot at it being more than an hour or so at the start. The real chance we have is for it to be more sleet and for the surface warm push to wait until the dryslot is here.

If not snowier, hopefully it will mean more sleet than freezing rain. Been awhile since we've had a significant amount of sleet here. It would be cool.

I agree with you but this is the kind of storm that could come in as a wall and dump 1-2 inches of snow in an hour at the start.

RGEM looked essentially the same to me. Be careful about the freezing rain output, it's likely overdone. Any precip as rain 32 or below it'll show as ZR (won't all accrete) and it assumes all precip that hour will be ZR. Of course it won't take much ZR for major problems though. A lot of that ZR it shows will hopefully be sleet.

Would be a nightmare during rush hour with these temps
