I hate NY Metro storms.   They suck.

Yea, pass on all of those.

There's been plenty of classic NYC storms that have also been great for much of New England .. 

Usually if the coast from DC to NYC gets nailed, it will suck for me...even Jan 7, 1996...PD II, pass, pass, puff.

Looks, blocky, cold over the NE, and potentially snowy to me.. Top analogs in this look are several top 10 snowstorms for SNE and NYC metro .. Including Boxing Day 2010, Dec 22 2009, Jan 2016, Dec 30 2000, and several from the 50s and 60s. 

Yeah this looks close to an ideal mid-Atlantic setup, except the ridge extends too far into the plains.

Of course DTBD at this stage ….pattern looks conducive. That’s a snowy look on the EPS.  I’ll roll the dice with that.
