Lack of a high/cold air source is an issue but I would have thought a storm of that strength at the benchmark would generate enough of its own cold air to keep it mostly snow at the coast...?

A track and intensity that the Euro just depicted should have showed a colder solution. Of course I’m just talking hypothetically. Lots  of scenarios on the board still. We continue to track!

Yes it would it would snow down to Atlantic City.

This storm has 3/14/17 part 2, written all over it. At least I won’t be disappointed by my 4 inches of slop this time

4 inches of slop that is still there at the end is better than the 4 inches on 3/14/07 that washed away in 2 hours. I’d rather have rain to snow than other way around. Can’t write this off here yet but this could be an epic week for the Catskills. I’m resigned to this winter ending in one more giant fail so I’m fine with it. Bring on spring. The flowers already blooming :axe: are raring to go.

It would change to snow down to ACY but places near the coast could lose a lot of qpf to rain at first. I think we have to consider that as a reasonable possibility. 
 

If it’s a euro level bomb though could also legit backend snow 1-3 inch/hour rates.

This is a rare case where NYC can do better than SNE if the storm takes the right track...it would be fitting in this winter to see something odd like that happen

Have to factor in urban heat island and mid March, I would be shocked at anything more than a few inches, which will be like an HECS this season.

Yea it's rare but it can happen. I'll never forget that Feb '10 storm (I think?) where NYC was being dumped on and Boston was raining in the 50s. That track was so insane that the rain/snow line was north/south oriented so even places north but just east of NYC saw mixing or even rain (I was living in Armonk which is northeast of NYC and I remember that for a time it was mixing while NYC was snowing).

Right, I expect no more than 4 - 6 for the city and coast, but even that would be historic for this season.

Big difference between late February and mid March.

But yes Boston can get 1-3 while NYC gets 4-6

This is exactly what I was thinking!  It actually reminds me of March 2001 in some ways.

4-5 inches of back end snow is what would be the high end of the potential for us.
