Definitely, if we had more cold and this storm track we'd just be getting a bunch of snow to ice to rain events, if we had this lack of cold and storms tracking offshore we'd be getting rain to heavy snow events.
It might be overdoing the warmth along the hudson but I'd expect it to be closer to reality than some of these other models. In all the recent storms I can remember it has done very well.
I could see something like 3-5 inches just west of Middletown tomorrow but like less than an inch in Newburgh, thats just kind of how this winter has been going.
Honestly just laughuable differences NW of the city for a day out

I try to be open minded (not pessimistic or optimistic) I really do but everytime the RGEM has gone up against the NAM/GFS it has schooled them in this range. I'm not basing no snow in NYC on whats happened thus far this winter, i'm basing it on what models I trust most at this point. Hopefully we are miraculously surprised tomorrow.
Evaporational cooling probably takes it down to 35-36. Depends how heavy it comes down. If its moderate-heavy should get 0.1 at least, if it's light no chance.
The RGEM has LI in the 40s the whole storm, it might be a bit too warm but I think you get the sense how this is going.....
NYC 37 is the lowest it gets on the RGEM.
Yea the 10:1 map has 0.1 inch but I wouldn't use that for this storm. Kuchera is nothing on the 0Z run.
Window for snow is 18z to 0Z and at 18Z it's 37 degrees in NYC.
