Which I don't think is realistic, I think the window for this to hit DCA/BWI and miss everyone else is a narrow one.  I suspect this hits all the big cities or none.  Could see it where the Cape/Islands/SE NJ and maybe Delmarva are hit but not a case where the former occurs.

Did not like seeing the individual members of the eps. At least nine of the 25 members show that worst case scenario of the Delmarva capen Islands.

5 give us the foot plus scenario. 

4 give us a 6 to 12 scenario. 

5 are complete misses.

It is amazing that the EURO track/snowfall hammers the exact spots that have been hit all year.

That's pretty common. A pattern establishes itself and the same areas get hit time after time in a given season. I still think this has a chance to veer back to last night's and yesterday's track.

Well the sample is small, but years when we have the big storms, we usually keep getting smaller events most of the winter, sometimes even up to early April. In 2010 the pattern locked onto the Delmarva region and only relaxed a little in Feb, giving us a couple events. 2011 was our turn. 2014's parade off 6-10 inchers, and so on. The pattern this year is big snows to the south, 2-4 here. But I kept seeing that "suppression" couldn't happen here; if I'm reading right, the weather gods are finding another way to hit south....

The kicker trough out West was a little stronger this run so everything shifted east from 0z. Need to weaken that feature in future runs for a stronger Rockies Ridge and Southeast Ridge. But the Pacific has been acting as the spoiler in recent years. So it will be something to watch over the next few days.

Im routing for you city folks on this one.  I've never been to the city with big snow on the ground, and have an opportunity to do some training in New York harbor on Saturday with some coworkers.  Would be nice to see the city with a foot of snow blanketing the ground.

It won't be blanketing the ground; it will be piled high on corners with garbage sticking out, and will be black and grey. Wear something waterproof on your feet. If you can get to Central Park, if it even snows, it will be a lot better. Someone always builds a couple snow figures on the benches.

The trend out west is really bad on the eps.  That's what's worrying.  We need that to start reversing.

We're all hungry for a big storm. Too hungry. 2-4 inches is going to be a big disappointment after all the serious discussions we were seeing. I never bought in; too far out, seen too many of these go wrong. But it should be obvious in a few days if nothing big is going to happen.

Good points.  It all hinges on CG at battery park having enough room at the docks for me to leave the boat and venture into the city.

That kicker shortwave out west has to weaken or slow down so our storm has room to amplify before getting booted east. But it's another symptom of the fast chaotic Pacific jet that's ruined chance after chance. We have time like you said for changes though.

Good luck. The harbor has become a focus of fall black fishing for the Sheepshead Bay boats that go for them. They can't fish NJ wrecks because the season starts too late. It isn't good anyway. I used to tie up to the rocks at the base of the Verrazano 35 years ago; can't do that anymore.
