Eps also. A few inches but I doubt that.

You're getting white rain at best, surface temps are way too warm 

Probably have to wait til mid Dec for a light to moderate event. Seems likely we'll get something with coming pattern 

[wdrag]

I see just about everyone has tossed in the towel.  So for now it's the best global modeling in the world (EC-EPS ECAI) vs all the other warmer model runs.  

Results ahead... front end could be a little bit of accumulative fun for us Tuesday morning.  

Will check back tomorrow to see if my over reliance on these colder cycles have any validity going forward.

If we get the perfect track temps will come down.

I know it’s way too early for accumulation projections but The Weather Channel has me down for 5-8” and AccuWeather 3-6”.
One can only dream.

High is moving out, antecedent airmass isn't cold enough. Track won't help. 

You need to be well N&W or elevated

As of right now every piece of model guidance has a general 4-7" from E PA/Sussex into Orange and through Putnam/Dutchess. The exception being the NAM.

I dont think its our storm, but be ready to bust it out!

Just simply not enough cold air y for this storm to produce any accumulation likely south of I-87 or I-84. High pressure is moving out too quickly, and our source region is still well above normal because of a warm fall. That being said. I’d definitely say that once you reach NJ/PA border; you’ll definitely see at least a few inches out that way. Expecting nothing but cold rain for most of us on here

"about everyone"-those of us in NYC and coast. Where you are and I-84 corridor, still hopefully a decent event. Hopefully a good surprise can happen for many of us. I-84 corridor still looks in decent shape. Cold rain sucks but I'll deal.

except the NAM lol

Tracking snow in our area this early isn’t an every year thing. This is good.

GFS is south for sure

It's a big climate area in this forum Walt most of us 40 miles or more north of NYC are still watching closely.

I think there's a combination of rain/sleet/snow at the start but otherwise mostly rain nearer the coast possibly heavy at times. I'm more interested in Friday night.

First NWS snowfall map - looks like the NBM, i.e., a compromise between most of the models showing little to no snow along/SE of 95 and the Euro/AIFS camp which are obviously more bullish on 95 snowfall.
