Extreme Cold, Snow & Sleet: SECS 1/24 - 1/26

It is all going to be about how close that secondary low is tucked in to the coast off of NJ. Even a small move east or west will affect if/when we change over. Right now they all, except for the GFS, want to tuck that secondary low fairly close to NJ before moving away.

If you want less sleet you seem to want either the primary to die early and coastal to form well south of the area (best case scenario for NYC and points south and east) or the primary dies out and coastal is weak and it's snow to a dry slot, the rgem has a pretty strong secondary tracking close to the coast hence the prolonged sleet, at least that's how I'm reading it. Personally I wouldn't mind prolonged sleet vs dry slot but if you don't want sleet you probably want a surpressed and south secondary I'd think.

Sleet isn’t caused by the surface reflection, it’s caused by the mid-levels.

If you want less sleet, you either want less well defined mid-level features to the west so the warm tongue isn’t as strong (It would also result in less precip due to less WAA, but still) or you want the entire thing to shift southeast

UKie is currently showing a weaker secondary that doesn't really get going until it is south of Cape Cod.

ICON with a nasty gradient north of NYC. 6" for JFK with 2' in Orange and Putnam.

i think its a joke model but that is has backed off and is usually a snow lovers dream may be saying something..its now the least snowiest model out there

That shows what? 

North and West receiving more snow than NYC mid to south NJ or Eastern LI. Excluding the ICON (a joke) everyone gives the immediate NYC area more snow.

We'll get a piece of this one. But it should have been ours. Shame the north country is weaseling its way to another win. Great winter so far up there.

If you follow the new england forum they will disagree. It has not been a stellar season at all, including NNE. Only the upslope areas have really done well. Everyone else is average. 

Also, good luck basing your forecast on the Icon.

I wouldn't hug an unreliable model, we know this is a possible outcome but no other model is showing that sharp of a cutoff and widespread 20+ amounts north of NYC.

That’s not even close to accurate so no need to debate with you

No idea how mt Holly is coming up with widespread 12-18. This is going to be a great storm but those numbers state wide are insane. 

What if they have a secret extremely accurate AI model that we don't know about ?
