I think the okx map is decent. They're going climo. They know their history. They have New London getting 3 and New haven 5. New haven always does better or as well as any location on the south coast of New England. They have the Bronx and Manhattan under winter weather advisories but nothing for queens, Brooklyn or Staten island. In a situation like this lower Manhattan and JFK could struggle with an inch or two of slop while Yankee stadium could eke out 4-5 inches.

I remember taking the train home in December 2008 during a snowstorm. Heavy rain in Manhattan and the 2nd we cross the bridge heavy snow in the Bronx. Like a light switch. Even NEMO the Bronx have close to 20 inches while central park had 10.5.

Although whinemaster may have erred by identifying this as a swfe, this is a classic, textbook northeast snow event that features"heaviest snow north and west of the cities and a mix and change to rain south and east." They've been saying this on tv since Don Kent and they'll be saying this long after Harvey Leonard.

This is so textbook we could draw the rain snow line in crayon and not look at another computer model for the duration of this storm and each of us would have a margin of error of the changeover of roughly 20 miles give or take from white plains to north haven to Pawtucket to exit 15 on route 24 to the runway of Logan airport.

 

 

 

Prolly exit 17-18 on 24

Southern CT should have much more of an east-west gradient, similar to what's reflected (proportionately) on LI, imo. SW CT should see much higher totals than SE CT...

What is throwing me off is that all the models show either a mix or rain for the coast of CT. On the point and click its all snow. Even TWC local has all snow. What are they basing the forecast on if not the models? Perhaps the mid levels support snow?

They think it can't snow at 32°F

Check out the 6z Rgem. That should give you a good idea. 

Antecedent airmass is also plenty cold, and so are 850's. Convection should also be deepest right along that CF so they will see high rates and dynamic cooling...

I could see 1-3" in SE CT and 5-9" in SW CT.

Poor growth? Then again, I didn't stay at a holiday inn express last night....

I find it odd that the NWS has coastal CT as getting 3 to 5 inches of snow. I thought that the majority of the models showed rain for the coast? What are they seeing that we are not? They even have NYC getting 4.

I'll buy, anything over 2 or 3 is gravy,

Box seems aggressive on the high end for my area with a 5"-9" range.  Until this morning I did not know there was a chance of rain in there too.  

Euro is so so borderline for us, has us snow then  sleeting then rain then back to snow, warm tongue punches almost to Tolland but not quite, have to see what transpires. Seems a little aggressive probably, well we can hope its about 20 miles too far inland. We usually see the line across Voluntown Preston Norwich
