Qpf looking real nice in many places!

 

Back my way, 0.4, 0.5" qpf quite possible. I am inclined to think 2-3" is likely here, with a potential 4-5" if we are a degree cooler or get in a heavier band for a bit. 

Yes, it was 70+ Sunday and it was glorious. That doesn't matter tomorrow. 32-35 degrees with thick cloud cover and various snow rates matter tomorrow.

Good thing I speak WX.

Also previously mentioned snow depth vs. Kuchera.  Strangely, the snowdepth map from the Euro is higher for me than Kuchera.  Haven't really seen that before.  NAM on the other hand is a fraction of the Kuchera.

Yeah was in the 60s yesterday and sever thunderstorm warning less than 12 hrs ago now we have a dusting of snow snow just blowing all over pavement. Makes me thibk if we can get snow to start tomorrow while it's still at or below freezing we will probably see accumulating snow on all surfaces especially if get moderate bands.

CTPs early bets from this morning. Hedging low valleys, ridge tops more. Understandable.

Indeed. SLR will be abysmal for most of PA - even at best they'll be <10:1, I suspect. Euro shows nearly 6 for my BY, but as we've discussed Depth maps nearly half that amount.

Drink!!!  UPTON AFD mentions the dreaded sun angle.

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As high pressure pushes off the east coast, weak low pressure over
the Gulf States will trek northeast toward the southeast US coast
and eject off the mid-Atlantic coast Wednesday morning. Much of
Wednesday night will be dry, with only a slight chance for
precipitation after midnight. Lows will be near or just above
normal, ranging from the middle 20s to middle 30s.

The low will slowly strengthen as it is forecast to pass south and
east of Long Island, and east of the 40/70 benchmark as well. This
will help to keep the colder air in place. Looking at forecast
soundings and thicknesses, it appears that precipitation could start
off as all snow for most places, except perhaps the city, where it
may start off as rain/snow mix. However even here precipitation may
start off as all snow. As the day progresses on Wednesday, rain will
begin to mix as the lower levels warm up, especially along coastal
areas. By the afternoon, a rain/snow mix is expected everywhere
except well inland areas. In fact, 850-1000 hPa thicknesses in all
the deterministic models show that we do not completely change over
to all rain for the entire area, including the coast, and that a
wintry mix will occur the entire day. It is not out of the question
that much more of the area remains all snow, especially if the NBM
temperatures are too warm (lowered NBM temperatures for this
forecast period). Those areas that do change to a rain/snow mix may
change over to all snow as heavier precipitation moves in and cools
the column. The other factor that makes this is a challenging
forecast is how late in the season it is, and the relatively high
sun angle of March.
Even if the entire areas remains all snow, much
of what falls will likely only accumulate on non paved surfaces and
roads will probably remain just wet. Did increase snowfall amounts
across the area, with around half an inch to just under an inch for
metro northeast New Jersey, New York City, and Long Island. Amounts
increase as you head north, with 1-3 inches across portions of the
Lower Hudson Valley and inland southern Connecticut. Higher
elevations will see closer to 3 inches. A reasonable worst case
scenario is 1-2 inches for metro New Jersey, New York City, and Long
island, and just over 3 to 4 inches across portions of the Lower
Hudson Valley and inland southwestern Connecticut.
Liquid equivalent
amounts of 1/3 to just over 1/2 inch are expected.
