Just started sleeting now. I'm running for 6-10" when it's done. My thermometer says 29 right now and took an infared scan of my road, which is salted to the point of the Booneville salt flats, it's at 31 degrees.

Looks like you won't be hurting yourself shoveling this morning...that 3" from 10Z by 9 am...it's gone to less than an inch for ya by 9 am on the 11Z run...

Nothing falling here yet, but radar is slowly filling in.

I'm not surprised that the models cut back some. A big part of it is that a lot of the models were too far North yesterday, so that's now been removed.

Our ULL looks good and the jet maximum is still down in the deep South. That ULL has to pass by to our South before we need to worry about precip shutting off.

Yanks what time you think we'll get the heaviest and the most sticking snow?

NAM has it passing/maturing in the small hours of tomorrow morning.

It’s amazing how bad the folks are in this thread  at interpreting models. I’m much more optimistic this AM than I was when I went to bed at 11:30 last night.  We look absolutely golden for 10-15”

Absolutely agreed. Where are all the people with the 'bands are always NW of modeled' talk? Plus temps became less of an issue, and most importantly, radar looks fantastic. Models can say what they want, but a storm's gotta pass the eye test, which the cool kids call nowcasting these days.

For the post you quoted, Exact opposite for me. We call it the Toms River bubble. We blame it on the Lakehurst naval Base saying they're developing something to steer away any threatening weather snow, thunder, anything.

Does the training line running from roughly Scranton, PA to just south of Hartford, CT give us a good idea of the northern cutoff?

Sort of, so what's happening right now is that the best forcing is along and just North of this line. That's why you're seeing heavier precip showing up near NYC and C NJ

As time goes on, this pivots NW, it's already begun the process.

Then that 500mb low pops, the storm reaches maximum strength.

And then eventually the storm begins to slide East. Based on this, the strongest banding would be right over Eastern NJ, the LHV, NYC and most of LI.

If you guys think that you’re going to figure out the exact location of the mid level convergence / frontogenesis from the models... well, good luck with that.  It’s quasi random.  Best you can do is circle a 30-50 mile wide zone and cross your fingers.

ok, I'm done whining about models and potential busts for now and am going to enjoy the show.  After about 2 hours of sleep with occasional waking to look out the window, we've ust had a nice hour of moderate snow, heavy for a few stretches (by radar) and we have 3/4" on the ground as of 9 am and it's 31F and sticking to everything. 

With the sun getting higher in the sky we will need more intensity to keep the snow on the paved surfaces, as sun and traffic will do their dirty work, but grassy surfaces should be no issue from here on out, as they're covered with high albedo snow and it's below freezing at the surface.  Not confident in my 12" forecast for Metuchen, but who knows, eh?  That's half the fun.

Not true in Brooklyn we already have all surfaces cover with heavy snow falling sticking easily
