Gfs got us here, but time to lean into the nam, rap, hrrr etc for details. For 48 hours, model after model to some degree is zoning in on Monmouth, ocean county, middlesex nj. Thats the jackpot. The rest of us can suffer with our 12-18. What a ride this winter. Glad it’s back.

The globals are under modeling the snow totals. It’s time to focus on the short term high res models to see where the best banding will be. The track and intensity at this point should be locked in.

I'd like to see the 12z Euro come west some but agree that we are getting closer to the meso's wheelhouse.

Much obliged. Perhaps he meant that it was above freezing for an extended period during the snowfall before the lows for the day were reached.

I think it started out near freezing early that Sunday morning.  At some point it dropped into the 20s.  Some of the old newspaper photos from western LI show insane drifting.  

Woke up to about 5" of fresh powdery snow this morning near Jackson, NH.  About to head for the LI ferry; we're catching both storms :D

For all its faults with it's depiction of QPF you can clearly see where banding is on the UKMET. If you're in north western areas I think some good banding will set up even if the surface low doesn't "tuck" close to us.

Yes. The temperature was 34° when the snow moved in.

Although its clear its going to be a beast, the big item too iron out is the diff. Between the US models which have the low further north than the rest of the field.

The RAP/NAM/GFS/HRRR are north and 20 plus potential

The remaining are a bit further south and 12 plus.

imagine the meltdowns if the 6z Euro verified...

Hoping to see the Euro shift west an hour from now. I do think the Euro is off, but we can't completely discount it since it's the most accurate global model. I do like a 12 to 16 forecast for my area, despite the Euro. I'd love to get buried under 2 feet, but I'm not buying those huge amounts yet. I want to see what a model like the HRRR shows in the short range before increasing a forecast to those huge amounts.

It’s very hard to forecast banding but there should be multiple bands that pivot in. Just look at this beautiful mid level lift.

GFS and NAM are likely overdoing totals. I think the accumulations put out by the NWS are a good range. Maybe a slight adjustment upward, but those goofy totals put out by those two models aren’t likely to verify. 
 

12-18, maybe 2 feet in Eastern sections with some jackpots

Agree although if it sets up in Catskills HV may get subsidence/shafted but that is a reality of these storms sometimes .

The euro probably won't budge much
