This 500mb vort map valid for Friday morning shows why our area will struggle to see snow. Those 2 'eye-like' features in the Midwest represent the northern stream energy. It actually comes in 2 separate vorts. Because they are already closed off, hence the round shape, the phase will occur WELL west of us back toward Chicago land. Normally this results in a cutter. However, this becomes an upper level low because of the PNA spike and blocking over Canada. The PNA spike is normally a good thing but there is a trough off the west coast crashing into the ridge which forces everything to slide east disrupting the flow.

Heights rise along the east coast and the ULL ends up tracking either over or just N&W of us. Unfortunately it is not a good set-up, but one worth watching for at least 1 more day especially N&W of NYC.

Abcnews says it could be a nor’easter.

Bad air mass + bad track + no dynamics --> Next (for most)

I believe this picture is a fair representation of what to expect.  LHV folks may get a modest accumulation, but with the bad air mass, I'm skeptical of much over 2".

Significant snow most likely confined to Western NY State, Berkshires, Catskills, Central PA and mountains of CNE/NNE.

Even Albany I'd be skeptical of significant amounts as they are not elevated, but you go west of there towards East Berne then that will be copious amounts of snow above 1000'.

Heehaw453, being in the LHV I'll take those two inches and run.Great work all week on this, you were skeptical all the way.
Isotherm is spot on so far with his long range winter forecast of below normal to normal snow.

I think this one is about done unless you live in Sullivan or higher elevations (1,000 ft or higher) of Ulster and NW Orange County and maybe above 1,000 feet in extreme NWNJ and NEPA.

It also appears the month of January is just about finished too. Good riddance.
