Agreed, very unusual was my point, not that I think mixing is an issue this time!

9 times out of 10 that's a rainer for the coast, especially with no cold antecedent airmass, like now.

with this type of depiction one would expect P-type issues....pretty surprised that is absent from the current equation!

At this point mostly looking at model noise. The exact distribution of the snowfall is going to be a nowcast situation (as almost always) with areas to the east favored...but there will be outliers like the 12Z GFS showing 21" for PHL while the Canadian shows 10". No great reason to pick one depiction over the other, both are plausible in this setup. Storm bears resemblance to Boxing Day 2010 but with a less extreme gradient (as currently depicted in the modeling)...but even in that storm it wasn't purely east-west in the snow totals...and with all the blowing and drifting will be hard to say who gets what, exactly. Right now I'd forecast 10" to 20" across NJ and call it a day unless something really surprises us as the day progresses.

And what's to say it's done trending. Each runs been adding like six inches area wide!

Pretty consistent bumps west. If this continues we are looking at an all time great.

2.2" new snow. temp 27.9

pixie dust flakes have commenced. 33.8

At this point just need to hope the euro has a handle on this and adjusts west over the next 48 hours. It's possible.

How many times in the last 100 years has Cape Hatteras recorded 6" or more of snow? Would think that is also quite rare.

That's what I keep telling my wife!

Cue the reasons why it can't possibly cut...or come WAY north..........

By Thursday it could be congrats Pittsburgh, and probably will be............

12.1" yesterday. 30.5" on the season.

Ended up with 12.1" here with wild drifts to boot. Temp 17.2. 30.5" on the season. On to the next one!
