Coast still looks good. Banding is tricky to pinpoint.

yup case in point if the gfs was off with this band by 25 - 30 miles - major implications - the storm will do what its gonan and wants to do - no model especially global will hone in in this range with the banding which are paramount in these coastals

AI. Cut back a touch

this is now now casting time using radars and various types of surface reports and observations - I don't think any model can keep up to date at this time because of all the complex interactions in the atmosphere constantly changing

time will tell thats all I have to say

And therein lies part of the problem. People have been calling this a historic storm now for 24 hours before even a flake falls.
 

 I'm not even sure what the word historic means anymore, to break into the top 20 the city needs 15.4 inches from the storm. Would that be historic? If they get 15.3 is that not historic? They got 11.4 inches last month so if they get 11.3 is that a bust? 
 

I get the excitement and I hope it is a great storm, but people calling a storm historic before anything happens.......

12z HREF through tomorrow 12z:

Even if on deducts one category, NYC has 12"-15" of snow by 12z tomorrow on the HREF.

What are your thoughts on the GFS and general model cut-backs? Could the further south solution be due to the warmer water temps being south?

problem I see - the Nam cut totals at 12Z and the Canadian already had reduced total at 0Z Last night

Speaking as a member of the N & W crowd I'm with you.  There were some concerning signals popping up last evening.  One reason I did not go higher than 12-18".  Even thought about leaving my 10-15" forecast alone.  Not a good thing when you have to rely on banding and ratios to get you to the finish line.  It can get you there but you don't want to have to depend on it.  I just want to get 12" here to verify my forecast.  Personally I think the 18" high end is fading for this area and for near certain N & W of here.  Just gotta watch radar and mesos from here on in.  One of my concerns has always been the RGEM was never on board for big totals out this way.  The RGEM is not a trash model.

I would rate historic as in the top 10 % of all time greatest snowstorms

Literally zero support for this 

You like looking at 3 models with the lowest totals and selectively forgetting the models that do show more and deciding that's your forecast. They like to see a sub 970 low crawling up the coast and chilling by Atlantic City and extrapolate that the higher end of model guidance is more likely since that should dump a ton of snow.

Every time, no matter what happens, remember it is out of our control. All of it is. No matter if it surprises or disappoints, you can’t change it. Maybe you want to prove you’re smarter or better one or another, but no matter what you think, you have no impact on the final outcome. Enjoy the journey.
