Can’t believe I’m saying this, but does a storm like this give 1994 vibes to the old timers here? Just the unusualness of it, if it occurs.

Not sure, maybe, but I'm leaving open the possibility that we have one of those rare years where everything over performs like 2005.  If nothing happens tomorrow or Friday, then probably not.

Nothing ever took that funky track but these were back to back overrunning events, first one was all snow, 2nd one was mixed.

I got you. I’m thinking more about the individual event; that year will never be replicated.

Way south from past runs

Verbatim Thats a pretty quick mover . In and out in about 8 hours. Seems like the further south it goes, it becomes a bit more sheared out and a bit quicker moving as well

Not much margin for error since the cold side precipitation is unlikely to be extremely widespread. But run to run changes are decreasing in magnitude and most mid-range guidance appears to be converging on at least some wintry precip. locally. Obviously a fringing or ZR to rain are still possible but the envelope appears to be shrinking.

Gfs is what you want to see 5 days out.  We want this thing to have wiggle room to come north. 

This is a weird storm though. Like some kind of atomic clipper.  

We used to get these all the time in the 90s and early 2000s.

Your Icon came way back N. Looks terrible verbatim for NYC which is why im assuming you didn't post it but a big hit for CT. Either way id rather have it trend in that direction than S again. Not that it means much coming from the Icon. 

This seems like a highly volatile situation and anomalous storm track. I don't recall any storms in the past that tracked like this giving a region wide warning event. I tried to look at CIPS but it seems they stopped running models on 12/18 for some reason.

Euro and Euro AI unchanged

Very unusual setup for us. It's kind of a mix between a SWFE and Overrunning. Blocking looks really strong, you can see the shortwave get shredded as it comes east. 

But there's enough cold air and moisture in place before that happens for us

Euro and eps shreds this. Thats why totals are lower but still a few inches.
