we usually do a little better than the city in events like this so in a 2-4 range, it would be Central Park getting 2 and we would get 3, or 3 and 4... this is just going by memory of past events like this.

The trend in the models with the 12z runs is that the greater amounts will be mainly to the south and west of the city.

Not even a flake on the gfs. congrats va beach

So basically right now we have no idea if we're gonna get 2-3 inches or almost nothing. Hopefully RGEM/Euro are right but can't have any confidence until the American models come back north. Hopefully we will see UKMET and Euro hold shortly. As usual a very difficult forecast a couple days before an event. It's never easy.

I expected the gfs to remain a bit south of the other models not to shift another 50 miles south though

Have to admit I'm starting to get a bad feeling even though I've always been a fan of the RGEM. 

Yeah I dont know. These events that favor the mid Atlantic often screw us. Usually the nam is too far north though like the early Jan 22 storm that missed us

Short range models really picking up on that now. This is probably nothing more then a dusting for the metro 

Based on one NAM run that's a little dry?  I'll take the RGEM and CMC over the NAM/GFS (showing it's SE bias again) any day.  Also, let's see how the rest of the model suite plays out.  If the Euro/UK trend drier, then the concern is likely warranted, but if they hold serve, it's time to be a bit more confident in a 1-3" snowfall.  Ratios might also be >10:1, but not convinced about that without better omega (cold isn't everything).

Yup. Past few years we haven’t had the last minute north shifts with these clippers.

Compared to the GFS the UKIE is at the North Pole....difference with GFS seems to be its dropping the whole trof from Lakes/Canada down and just squashing the whole setup...it may also be ever so slightly slower exiting stage right the previous system but hard to say if that really had an impact
