If there's pasting from this probably > 1500' ASL. Catskills could see something and Poconos? at the highest spots. Just my thoughts w/out looking at this too deeply yet. The h5 looks like candy but it's just so darned early and there's minimal cold air. It's really dynamics and that's tough.
Let's see in a few days!
Not necessarily, heehaw. I have to go back through my archives, but I think there was a very similar event to this in November of 2015, and I ended up with almost eight inches. Purely anafrontal snow. I’ll revisit this tonight.

Ok, so I was off by a year; November 19th-20th, 2016. First are images of my forecast, followed by observations, the reanalysis data, the current EPS, and then the observed average daily temperature from 2016, which equates to about 40°F (far from optimal for snow). Long story short; EXCEEDINGLY SIMILAR pattern and evolution.

Look forward to your video! What stands out to me is the trough in North Atlantic compressing heights. The no in me says the western ridge isn't pumped enough to keep that ULL digging. With extremely marginal air that matters. I think if you're above 1500' few/several inches might be possible. I-84 probably sees flakes in lower terrain.

Depends where you are, but I would not be surprised to see snow get darn close to NYC with this, even into NYC. Whether or not it sticks is another story. But I think anywhere along and north of about I-80 is going to be surprised with an early start to their snowfall season, with the areas mentioned above doing exceedingly well…….as in double-digit totals. Details to come once I’m out of work haha

Re: Long Range Thread 29.0
I tried keeping it as short as possible, but I had a lot to say and wanted to provide as many teachable moments as possible for everybody quietly following along. It came in at 35 minutes, so watch while you eat breakfast or sip your coffee haha I did the best I could to explain my thinking and why I like the Euro suite over the others, and why I also think that there is room for an even further correction south/east/colder. Unfortunately, I didn't have nearly enough time for a snowfall map, and won't, but I think that I did a fair job at highlighting where I think snow will fall, and how much. As usual, I'd love any feedback, and if anybody has any questions, then please feel free to ask! Looking forward to the further discussion and to seeing how it all turns out! Thanks for watching!

Re: Long Range Thread 29.0
That is the American representation of where the H5 ULL will track. Here is the European.
Notice how much further south it is. This means the difference between snow and rain for areas just N&W of NYC. Right now I think NYC metro is primarily rain but I guess some flurries on the backend can’t be ruled out.
The formation of this system is a direct result of anomalous high latitude blocking across Canada and the northern Atlantic. It would be nice to see a pattern like this establish itself during the heart of winter. Precursor maybe? We’ll see…

12z RGEM looks very Euro/Euro AI-like…..I expect a similar theme to its parent GEM global model coming out shortly. We’ll see.

Suspicion confirmed. Euro also held serve and is a monster for extreme NW NJ, NEPA, Catskills, and southern tier of NY State. The verbatim snow map is not accurate for those first two regions mentioned above on the Euro. It’s not correctly handling the thermals at the lower levels.
