    Why is it a bust? It was 1 to 3 all along. Now if we only get a dusting or flurries tomorrow I'd say its a bust. Upton is being conservative and that's wise at the moment. 

    I don’t think there’s gonna be much accumulation if the rates are as light as models are starting to show. Everything’s covered in salt, it’s during the day, light rates

    I think the snow growth and lift is what their banking on which is depicted by some of the short range models 

    This is what Upton has for Staten Island I don’t get it lol their discussion says 2-3

    Friday
    Snow. Total snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches. Highs in the lower 30s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Gusts up to 20 mph in the afternoon. Chance of snow 90 percent. 
    Friday Night
    Mostly cloudy. A chance of snow in the evening. Lows around 18. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 50 percent.

    I think they are being generous even saying 3 inches for this. 3 inches is the absolute ceiling for this in our area and if it does happen, I think it’s closer to central NJ. Definitely not widespread here. All of the good lifting and surface convergence is south of us with the inverted trough and the good upper dynamics/diffluence with the jet streak and upper low is also south of here. I believe we are going to have bigger dry air and subsidence issues than people are thinking right now, especially given we are north of the IVT, that is going to probably eat up a decent amount of QPF and it may be a virga fest for awhile at the start

    Yup. Crazy dc is having a better winter lol we can’t catch a break
