Could be the ‘old lose it only to bring it back’ re-run. The Euro and GFS operational have done that before big ones many times. Some 18z model run will pick it back up, right? We can hope...we also hope the long range isn't just model shite vapors as they have been so far.
12z has more of a coastal scraper, mostly due to northern stream energy moving though the st lawrence valley sooner, sharpening up the trough. Decent look coastal plain, not as good interior.
Of course not. And that was the thinking before it happened and even right after. It was an anomalous winter and an all time record for NYC. Should not expect 75 inches.
Yet other stations in the east have broken their all time records since 1996. DC broke the 1996 record in 2010 for example.
Probably never, yes. Never? Probably no.
Last Feb North NJ got nearly 40 inches. Not even a year ago, much less ‘years’ ago. I am sure most everyone in this forum would sign the dotted line for that all day long. Very good winter there overall.
