I'll believe it when I see it. Odds are a coating to an isolated inch with perhaps 1-2" over Monmouth.

This heavier band is forecast to be from NYC south...chances are Anthony in Brooklyn gets more then you. My call is a inch for the city and local amounts of 2-3 in Monmouth and middlesex county

That's according to the nam/srefs/rap/gfs/gefs.

The euro/rgem/ukmet/ggem are only .03"-.06" for NYC/LI.

 

The American models are more aggressive with coastal enhancement. Will be interesting to see if the 18z GFS continues to portray that.

I wouldnt call an inch to an inch and a half aggressive especially since they are forecasting for a very wide range of locations for the statement, thats pretty appropriate

It's more enhanced then what was discussed by you and few others before. They also go on to talk about a heavier band setting up. Nobody in this thread is wish-casting. Go into feb 8th thread for that

you guys crack me up arguing about a coating to an inch or maybe 2 in spots - like it makes a big difference - some spots will get a coating others an inch others may squeeze out 2 and its virtually impossible to say who will get what in advance - thats a nowcasting thing in this type of situation

for the northern half of NJ their POP is 40%.   that's kinda sucky.

Suddenly I'm upto 50% now. Still down from 70% and their SWS and Forecast discussion contradict each other, One says 

 

314 PM EST MON FEB 4 2013...ACCUMULATING SNOW TO AFFECT MUCH OF THE REGION TONIGHT...A QUICK MOVING SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT, PRODUCINGA PERIOD OF SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST. THE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AREEXPECTED TO BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE WITH TOTALS OF GENERALLY 1.0 TO1.5 INCHES. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR AN AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW TODEVELOP FOR A TIME ACROSS A PORTION OF OUR REGION, AND THIS WOULDBE IN THE FORM OF AN EAST TO WEST ORIENTATED BAND. IF THIS OCCURS,SNOWFALL RATES WOULD BE LOCALLY HIGHER FOR A TIME OTHERWISE ALIGHT INTENSITY SNOW IS ANTICIPATED.

The discussion says 31 minutes later...

 

350 PM EST MON FEB 4 2013IT IS BEGINNING TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD HERE, BUT THIS CLIPPERTYPE SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER LIGHT SNOWFALL TO THE AREAOVERNIGHT.  QPF AMOUNTS ARE GENLY EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT AND EVEN WITHSNOW/WATER EQUIVALENTS EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 15 TO 1, IT LOOKS TO BEA SUB-ADVISORY EVENT WITH MOST AREAS 1 INCH OR LESS.
