They have no clue still. Must all be rusty due to the boring winter. I've seen 3-12" in my area depending on the news network.

This has been bizarre though. Even the short-range models are flipping and flopping. It's going north! No, no, it's on the prior track.... it's going north again!!! No, no....it's WARMER......oops now it's COLDER... All that has major implications.
Just as soon as everyone was increasing snow totals up north, they started decreasing them again etc... I'm not sure I've seen such model mayhem before. Everyone has a different opinion of what's going to happen, and they're not crazy, just using different assumptions and logic. It has certainly been interesting (and frustrating) following this one.
And I'm in a projected "ice epicenter", hopefully I have power when I wake up.

That was my biggest concern all day. With such close timming between storms, The trees still have a lot of snow on them , no chance to blow or melt off. Add more snow then frezzing rain.
I'm used to power outages and have a generator but haven't had to use it in winter for some time, this could get ugly.
I've been watching the radar for the last few hours.A scene from The "Mummy " comes to mind.
The sand head swallowing the airplane.

Fortunately I'm right on the shore and it's looking like freezing rain to rain. No accumulation. I have to work tomorrow but I'm off early, getting packed and will head up early Thursday morning to beat the rush hour.
Its good thing I drive a Jeep! This is going to be AWESOME!
Yes, my snow hating friends are all bitching about the 2" of slush we are supposed to get tonight and tomorrow. 
I will be leaving it behind to head north to enjoy a FOOT of the good stuff!

Is it really that strange?
It's a storm that packs lots of moisture, and there's cold air to make those moisture turn snow. Or ICE!
So either way, it's going to be messy for the coast. And where it doesn't turn into ice, there'll be tons of snow! Seems pretty straight forward to me.
What's NOT straight forward, of course, is where exactly the ice line is, because that affects the snow total.
Though given the storm is already formed, I would have expected they can be a little bit more accurate. After all, whichever model that predicted the current track correctly should get more weight in predicting the next 12 hrs!

I wish it was coming in colder to make that sleet into snow. Plus, I like fluffy, not slushy.

Solid foot in Binghamton, NY and still snowing, nothing prior to 3AM. Halfway done shoveling, sick call made, heading to Greek Peak in about an hour, stoked!

Holy crap! And it's going to keep snowing for a while yet there. Have fun.
Personally I'm just glad I woke up with electricity here.
EDIT: Everything looks still right on tap for the Cats. And I think the Poconos were spared the worst of the sleet and got mostly snow. They were tip-toeing right near the snow/sleet line.

Ripping. About 5 inches in 2.5 hours!
That "lull" over Western NY is actually a product of the Buffalo radar being down for today. In fact it's still ripping all the way back there!
