The axis of WAA precip is horrible for our area. Way too far NW for anything appreciable before the midlevels are long gone. It's a shame.

You keep saying "our area" like everybody on this board lives in Queens. There are many posters on this board who are north and west of the city and will have significant impacts from this storm. I've watched the city and Long Island get a foot of snow while I'm sucking virga in hudson valley, so guess what, it's a big area.

It goes above freezing to Binghamton.

Binghamton isn't part of this sub forum. My point is its unfavorable all the way up there.

Explain to me what is unfavorable about a foot of snow even if it changes to rain for a brief period Sunday morning. Nobody in this forum is expecting an all snow event but it remains pretty clear that areas north and west will be significantly impacted by a mixture of snow, sleet, and icing.

Upton just hoisted flash flood watches for the coast, NYC, LI Southern CT etc

We'll take the rain this time but one big blizzard will make up for it...i think we will have some decent chances for a good snow event in the next few weeks...but a flash flood watch in mid january does suck..

Haha. That Flash Flood Watch is really the fat lady singing for this thread. Or is it the first rain drop?

3-6

2-4

Now 1-3

And there are a whole lot of people south and east of me

Maybe you didn't know this but the sub-forum goes a lot further West than Westechester County

Good call for those who were saying this would trend north at the end. SWFEs (which this pretty much is) usually do. Even Albany's getting cut back decently on snow amounts and State College is looking like it'll be a low-end warning level event rather than the 14-15" being called yesterday. We may still have the lead on Boston for seasonal snow after this. Might just be wall-to-wall rain for most on Long Island and NYC. Could even have thunder as the cold front comes east-looks like a pretty nasty line with that. 

Further inland especially around I-287 looks icy still due to the cold drain and NW of there still looks like a good thumping for a while before ice.

Two bad trends: the overrunning shooting over us so we waste the cold we currently have and the low trending further amped.
