As far as I know this was only the second storm on record where BGM and ALB recorded 20 plus inches and NYC also had 10 or more. 3/3/93 was the only other case

The Op GFS for some reason in -AO/NAO pattens has a tendency beyond 180 to love dumping trofs into the plains or west. We saw this back near 12/1-12/5 and it never came close to verifying

Both storms occurred with pretty lousy Pacific patterns but this was much more close to a southwest flow type event than that was- 1,011 replies

My hunch is the block led to the surface low taking a slightly faster east turn which led to areas down into NYC seeing more snow on the back side than expected- 1,011 replies

This would probably be the only snow event other than March 1993 where Albany and Binghamton saw over 2 feet and NYC reported double digits as well- 1,011 replies

11.3 I think. I doubt they got that but they would only need a small amount before the end of the month now to do it- 1,011 replies

Honestly if the dry punch didn’t come 2 hours early would have probably had 2-4 inches more- 1,011 replies

I’ve been told Upton in the case of a ptype change usually has them measure out of time to ensure the correct measurement. We’ve seen cases however where they don’t do it or they get it badly wrong- 1,011 replies

When I went only 5-9 in my forecast it was because of mixing, not because of a dry slot 3-4 hours early. Might be right for wrong reason- 1,011 replies

Evidently not lol. The daily record is actually from like 1896 or something and is 7.0...their official site shows it wrong but the daily climo report showed the record of 7 at 440pm- 1,011 replies

They measured 2.6 on .28 at 7pm so yeah with that .15 the next hour they’re likely at 4 or so now- 1,011 replies

The 3KM NAM had them changing over a good 2 hours ago but they went over closer to RGEM forecast. I was surprised how high the forecast totals were there- 1,011 replies

Like BOS PHL does not measure snow at the airport so we won't get hourly increments there. Might have gotten 2-3 this hour- 1,011 replies

As of 21Z the 12Z HDRPS is most accurate in MD with transition. HRRR is improving but still lags. 3km NAM barring an insane jump next hour will bust severely on its 22Z position of the change in PA- 1,011 replies

This delay from south to north shore is like the PDII storm where JFK snowed for 3-4 hours before LGA, albeit not as extreme

3km NAM continues to show a potentially bogus solution changing EWR/JFK to sleet at 01z. All the way to LGA and White Plains by 02Z then it miraculously falls back below Staten Island again. both of those won't happen. Either it changes at 01Z and never goes back or it doesnt change til 05-06

Always happens. These events the area north of a TTN-Sandy Hook line sees lighter echoes to start til the layers saturate.

I've heard of that maybe 2 times before in a synoptic snow storm. Usually 4-5 is about the most you can get

FZRAPL at BWI. HRDPS/RGEM/3km NAM all about right. extrapolating the NAM was 30 mins too fast. the HRRR has no clue

As of 19Z 3km NAM continues to be a tad fast and HRRR way too slow with change. BWI should be going SNPL though by 1930Z so about 30-40 minutes behind the 3km NAM
