We are getting our biggest snow of the year tonight and you are still being negative. I haven’t seen too many people predict it’s going to be a March 2018 repeat.
I specifically posted RGEM because it has slight warm bias but usually pretty good with temps. Factoring in wet bulb my guess would be 32-33 North Shore/Northern NYC and 33-35 South Shore/Southern NYC during height of precip.
Not that it matters much but for those wanting any good news the Ukie did trend a little south

Its kind of both a pro and a con that it's happening at night. Night time should definitely help with accumulation at this time of the year but also most of us will miss out on seeing it snow and it'll be mostly gone by tomorrow afternoon (maybe tomorrow morning along the immediate coast).
This was never really going to be our storm unless we got lucky with the blocking squashing it, but spring isn't coming yet, the favorable period for wintry weather is more so mid month.
GFS still look very amped and warm for Friday-Saturday.
However this is what it looked like at hour 81 for tonight.

Probably not important at this range but CMC is terrible for the city.

Epic run just NW of the city. Very likely overdone.

Looks like it flips to mix/rain for all of the metro area but the south shore is the only place that may have mixing issues during initial precip burst.
The NAM is 1-3 on the front end for the metro. It does have sleet to Orange County and rain to Westchester.
It could be right but also the RGEM has been so steady and colder that I’m not taking the NAM too seriously.
