Do you guys remember the storm from 6/7 years ago where euro was going crazy with amounts and the forecasters went along with but we wound up with a miss?? The media weather guys/gals have been much conservative since then 

Have no idea what you're talking about. Never happened. Lalalala

IF they do pull the trigger probably wont see them till later tonight.

Agree to the criteria that’s defined below. They could be thinking that the sustainable winds won’t occur for another 24 hours.

Blizzard Warning

A Blizzard Warning means that the following conditions are occurring or expected within the next 12 to 18 hours.
1) Snow and/or blowing snow reducing visibility to 1/4 mile or less for 3 hours or longer
AND
2)  Sustained winds of 35 mph or greater or frequent gusts to 35 mph or greater.
There is no temperature requirement that must be met to achieve blizzard conditions.

Looks like it's just become light snow in Lower Manhattan. Much earlier than expected, hopefully that's a good sign. 

I have lived in New York City for 47 years, storms that start early always do well, i’m gonna keep on ehhhing  and ahhing, usually usually ends up not panning out. So yes I did find that to be the case.

I'm not convinced the heaviest totals will be north & west of NYC.

Very cold/dry over there and temps have been very cold down to C/NJ. Euro/GFS are further south with jackpot zone.

So I have an inkling jackpot will be near or just south of I-78. I'm also basing this off the current overrunning snows which are targeting C/NJ.

Approaching 2" here in Sussex, and there's over 2" now in NEPA.

im a bit surprised we aren’t seeing blizzard warnings yet crazy totals here in north jersey supposed to start work at 4am thats not happening 

According to Mt Holly, the worst winds will be when there is mixing, hence they won't see need for blizzard warnings. Saw it in their discussion.

Either this model is completely nuts or it's about to score a huge victory. 

This GFS run was a good bit more amped/west than the last one especially with the mid level lows. This run has the 700 low over Bucks County PA which is west enough that verbatim the dry slot can make it east of the city pretty quickly. Of course it's great west of the city but here it's not ideal and would probably mean east of the city stays under a foot.

Yea GFS really has it tucked in. Brings changeover to Long Island

I do 12 hour shifts in Hopewell Jct., Dutchess County; I live in central Rockland.  I'm not going in tomorrow because it should get progressively worse with every hour that goes by.  Bear Mountain Bridge hills are no fun in a two wheel drive MINI Cooper after about six inches.  I miss my Jeep Wrangler....  lol  I'm off 'til Friday I suspect.....  for the next storm....
Ahhh the good ole goat trail!

I'm approaching 2" as well near Middlesex/Somerset border.

Oddly enough that fits the para gfs jackpot with peak from NW NJ NE PA down to C/NJ.

Hey, where are you located? I’m in Piscataway in northern middlesex county and have no where near that. Half inch at best.

Gfs isn't a mesoscale model

It's new (v16) so hard to say how it'll do this close in but the 700 low north of Philly isn't what you want to see near NYC. We want that just off the NJ coast. It's been backing off the huge totals and QPF in this area the last few runs likely because of that- brings the dry slot in faster and also risks more warm air for coastal spots.
