"why it would shift south by 150+ on a 18Z run can be justified by bias"
"its the 18Z GFS - you weenies - $10 says the GFS ENS calls BS on that"
"The GFS in itself has a consolidation of vorticity problem - its probably a bias showing a glaring solution with recyled data. Christ...."
"18z GFS is also recycled data"
I will say recycled data is a crap excuse though.

Those are terrible points, sounds like the likes of someone who just put out a forecast that isn't looking very good so far. Not seeing anything meteorological there that would explain why the southern runs should be disregarded and I'm not just talking about the GFS. Sounds like some ego preservation crap. I'm going to need a few tonight that's for sure.

Ehh, usually not much stock is ever put into the 18z runs. 0z and 12z are far more important. Also the 18z run is fishy because although there has been somewhat of a south trend, the 18z took the south trend to another level, which is also currently an outlier in its southern extreme. Compromise between the northern and southern solution and you have a jackpot right through SPA, CNJ, NYC, LI just like the models have been showing for a few days.

12z
Here you can see circled is more interaction with the NS energy, with a further NE and consolidated PV. The more consolidated and NE PV allows the confluence to move further north. This allows for a more amplified NE flow and consolidated stronger  vort. This means the systems precip makes it into the area causing high impacts with high QPF.
March 2nd-4th Potential Snowstorm  - Page 40 Gfs_1210
18z
Looking at the 18z i highlighted some differences.
1st their is less interaction between the 2 streams. Second the PV is handled different with a lobe left over Western Hudson Bay. This handling of the PV shifts the confluence south past the US/CA boarder with a more zonal E/W flow as there is less phasing. It also shears out the vort. With the confluence south, a less amplified vort, and a more zonal flow the system is suppressed south and has minimal impact of the area.

March 2nd-4th Potential Snowstorm  - Page 40 Gfs_1810
I just wanted to point out the differences at the 500mb level that had consequences on the solution. Im not worried as it is one run let alone the 18z GFS. New observations and data will be available for 0z runs.  
No one should be worried. Period.

Im not saying that there has not been a trend, which their has been today. But im trying to defend that this storm isnt over because of 1 run like people are assuming. New data could easily reverse the trend. So unless 0z Models countinue to show this, im going to stay put with confidence in a substantial system effecting the area.

No right now the northern solution would be the EPA, CNJ, NYC and LI jackpot, the middle ground would be W-MD, SEPA, PHI, SNJ, southern solutions would be Delmarva, and extreme southern NJ.

I'm nearly fully confident that some precip is on the way. I agree with you that it's not over and sorry if it came across that way. I'm just saying I don't like current trends. I think it's 50/50 goes back north or stays bad. IMO it's a crapshoot and only to be solved by watching and waiting. I'm going to go away from the computer in a little bit this is driving me crazy.

Thats if you took all of todays runs. Im talking about yesterday's northern solutions and today's southern solutions.

Steve D is having mixed thoughts... He has a prelim map of 8-14" possibly more through central NJ, EPA, NYC and LI.

Matt Strouse's early thoughts.
There could be some slight shifts North south etc over the next day or two of model runs but pretty much the GFS /ECM are locked on to this storm now.

Early call for Eastern PA into NYC and NNJ is 12-20 inches of snow

If I were Steve D I would be saying those things as well right now given the latest model guidance as a CYA.  Bottom line is we still have to see how that beast off the Cali coast, and it is a beast, holds up as it comes ashore.  PV is currently situated approx. over the SE Hudson Bay to NW Quebec.   BTW Does anyone know how to do a screen shot on a PC?

Everyone can say what they want, but being that the storm is about 10-15hrs away from being fully sampled, one would be a fool to think that todays runs are the final solutions, or that the storm isn't going to be as impressive due to today's new information. Also, hasn't the trend this whole winter called for a stronger storm trending weaker and more suppressed and then 48 hours before the storm it comes back North and stronger? See you at 0z and 12z runs!

I am beginning to think the PV is not the problem with this storm. It is more so the southern stream energy. It is looking really sheared out on guidance and I am unsure why it is doing that. The PV is in the same spot on all the models pretty much. With the...

1. MJO amplified into phase 8

2. A strong jet streak to our north

3. And going off of past events this season

I feel like this will still be a significant storm for our area and will not be surprised to see one last tinge north at 12z tomorrow. After all, the energy out west will have full sampling by then.
