Strange forecast. Nothing shows that. Even if CAD hangs on it's still warm aloft and liquid falling.
Don't be so defensive brother, we know where you stand. If you are correct, I will be happy to publically congratulate you. Likewise you have been steadfast with your forecast, and that's admirable. At this point, we can all agree to disagree and see what happens.

(for the record, take the tone as friendly. I hate how tone can be misinterpreted via text)

Oh no? Comes in as 37° rain for NYC, ends as freezing drizzle. 

I don’t think Central Park goes above 32 tomorrow. At least until the precipitation moves in. I’m just making this call from my weather observation skills. I may be wrong but I think we wetbulb to about 30 degrees tomorrow evening when it initially snows and it’ll come in like a wall before any apparent change over to mix and rain. This could be a freezing rain type of deal too the models are not 100% not even at this range. But it does look like 3-6 for Central Park.

It starts NYC off at 37F before the storm and ends at below zero. Yeah that's gonna be a no for me dawg. 

You're not gonna start higher than 31/32F especially if you're wet bulbing.

Dew points are going to be low. Precip should start as snow.

This storm is going to be very close for the area. I can see it go either way in regards to snow.

My rule of thumb is to err on the side of less snow, and it has usually been correct. We just don't live in a snow magnet. I would be more surprised to see 3-5 than to see all rain. Of course, I was wrong in Nov.

In all fairness Eric I don't think the NWS made it up and they are privy to models and info that we don't see. I mean if anything you would think the NWS would down play this IMO. 

More than just that.  We read models.  In theory they use models.  Doesn't mean they aren't off now and then, but there are people with the job title of "forecaster".  Not aware of any job reqs for "model reader".

The only part of the coast that I can see starting as rain is the Jersey shore..... I highly doubt the south shore of LI does. 

The Euro really drags its heels getting precip in.  To be honest that’s a big reason it’s snow totals are so darn low.  Not necessarily that it’s a ton west or north of the NAM because it isn’t.  If no steady precip gets in til 01-02Z then most places near the coast probably to sleet and freezing rain almost right away

Ahh gotcha. Makes sense. If we can start by 5pm. I would think the City and western portions of LI would do OK. 

@SnowGoose69 what’s your feeling for Northern Westchester? Stay all frozen or nah? Possible 6”?
