about .6 total qpf for phl some of that is frozen prob like .1-.15

nyc is 1.1 qpf with .2 of that frozen

Still sounds like a pretty crappy event overall. I wish we could get the coastal to bomb away and bring some dynamic cooling to the region.

Looks like 2-4" snowfall here in the northern burbs, probably some light icing, and then over to rain. It may be enough to delay/cancel schools in Westchester Tuesday given the timing of the event. Snowpack will remain intact, but we'll lose a few inches, which isn't too big a deal considering there's 12" snowpack in town and 18" in the elevated forests.

Compared to the warm and extremely wet event the GFS was advertising for the past few days? I'll glady take what the models are showing tonight and just get this storm over with then we go into a b-e-a utiful pattern after it.

I just hope a bunch of it is ZR in the suburbs to ice in the snowpack. This looks like the type of event where the surface will hold out longer than the 850s, especially as we get closer and models begin to see the strength of the damming high. SE winds won't be as deadly as usual, either, because the extremely cold winter has reduced SSTs dramatically. The storm has slowly been trending colder as the ECM was originally all rain for NYC metro...now we've definitely got a dangerous mixed precipitation event in the suburbs which looks to disrupt travel and work before a changeover. Also, with the coastal trending stronger, we may see some nuisance snows on the back end.

It's definitely been a major improvement in the past few days; at one point, this looked like a total washout. Now I might get to enjoy a light snowfall and a day off work.

the euro doesnt have the backend precip like the gfs. Once the coastal moves out, precip shuts off.

Agreed if We can get mostly frozen not wet out of Tues Event even if it is only a couple inches its better than a big rain storm than moving forward looks like a couple more even better snow opportunities present themselves..

sounds like the Euro and GFS couldnt be further apart on the placement of the low in the day 6 range.Euro has a coastal while the GFS brings in the clipper from the ohio valley, either way, after the low goes by then it gets very cold.

ggem, backs the euro with its idea though, so right now id give this track more merit.
