I like what I’m seeing. I like the map so far and I hope this verifies because we need this.

Apologize in advance for my rudimentary art. Here’s my current map:
Green: Rain ending as an inch or so of snow.
Orange: 1-3”
Light Blue/Teal: 3-6”
Purple/Dark Blue: 4-8”
Pink: 8-10” (this area is less predictable and could shift anywhere in the 4-8 zone, so this is a best guess).
I usually try to have borders align (ie 4” max next to 4” min) but I really think there will be overlapping here where the cutoffs might not be that uniform.

If there is going to be movement in my first call map, I'd mostly likely expect it would be for these zones to shift slightly north.

Revised map. Didn’t make many changes. Essentially accounting for sharp cutoff to north and lowering expectations for widespread 8+” area:
Green: Rain ending as a slushy inch or so.
Orange: 1-3” Snow
Purple/Dark Blue: 4-8”. Isolated areas in this zone could hit 10” if your locale gets under heavier banding.

Not sure if this is the right place to comment on this NWS map or not, but I looked at this map close up for my area and it doesn't reflect the totals I saw for Bloomfield (I had 8" but the map shows blue 4-6") and Montclair (I had 7+ and the map again shows 4-6"). Also, I think Bob in Caldwell reported 9" (albeit 500 ft altitude) and the map again shows 4-6 for Caldwell. Just thought I'd mention it. I'm curious what other have seen locally compared to this map.

The map is a horrible depiction of what actually fell.
All reports in Orange County NY were from 10.5 to 14 inches. They have most of Orange County in the 6-8 with a few areas of 8-12. Typical unfortunately.

I don't know CP. Maybe the Zookeeper found new work at the NWS. New title: Chief of Gridded Snowfall Analysis.

Oh yeah, that's more like it. I guess they keep adding reports as they come in.
