Just like with yesterday with the amount of cold air in place I'd rather take that chance than have it whiff to the east and everyone gets nothing. Although with snowpack on the ground a big rainstorm would be disastorous.
Too tired from tracking the last one for this lol. These type of storms also drive me nuts to track because they usually disappear at some point on the models. It obviously has massive potential.
Todays storm was suppressed south at this point last week, this one is east not south which always has more question marks to me but def could end up a big hit.
Seems accumulations have been as high or higher in Central Westchester/Rockland than places like I84, surprising but shows how random these things are with banding/snow growth.
Mixing in is different from so warm at all levels that it's definitely sleet, the warmth has been marginal all day. Also the NAM had mixing on several runs to near I84 which didn't seem to come close.
Yep just how my gut said it wouldn't stay hours of sleet with temps in the teens and it would be more of a mix of snow/sleet. Usually if something is rare it doesn't happen, occasionally it does.
