The surface low actually tracks northeast from that point and deepens rapidly. It winds up east of Boston and off the Cape. That's a snow track for the I-95 corridor. It might be a dryslot type situation for Eastern Long Island..but the cold flow to the north and the strong dynamic cooling underway would keep that all snow for the big cities in all likelihood. This is all a moot point, though..the solution will change in 6 hours.

How do you think this set-up and surface map compares to the set-up of the 1983, 1996 and 2006 storms as outlined on the attached link?

But just imagine, with a low that close to the Coast, and still enough cold air for the I-95 cities, it just shows how much of an effect the confluence and anomalous blocking has on this pattern.

I never really understood what "immediate beach" meant. What's the distance with that? I remember last year while driving around in one of the borderline events where it sleeted right near the beaches but 1 mile inland was snow, so I'm gonna guess that would be the distance

Great point. Even with the primary as far north as the GGEM has it--most areas away from probably the immediate beach will remain all snow.

If that's the case then it likely saves us, since fast deepening lows near our latitude are very often bonanzas unless they track almost directly over you. Still something to watch though on future runs.

Yeah, I remember with one of the storms last year, JM was mixing for a few hours while it was all snow here and Im only 2 miles north of him.... but it didnt matter in the end because when the heavier rates came everyone switched over to heavy snow.
