1st Map, 1st Call ( 2/18 - 2/19 )

Light Grey areas will recieve the lightest amount of snow. In East Central PA, it'll just be snow showers or flurries. T-3"

White areas will recieve approx. 3-6". 6-8" closer to the pink areas.

Pink area is the jackpot.. recieving around 7-12"

This is my FIRST MAP ever and this is my gut feeling.

7-12 looks like a good call for the coast and 3-6 seems very reasonable. There will definitely be a sharp cut off from 12'' on the coast to just an inch well inland. Just the opposite of some of other storms that effected this region.

Looks like an ocean effect enhancement event.

I doubt there will be that much snow in the NE from this system.

what is ocean effect snow?

[ColdFront77]

Ocean effect snow is like lake effect snow, only it occurs off the ocean, instead of a lake... such as the Great Lakes.

[Anonymous]

interesting. That would make a big difference for snow totals along the coast compared to inland locations, right? I think 7-12 is not out of the question for the coast.

Your call looks right on as I can see as well.

That is generally the case with lake and ocean effect situations... and why I mentioned this apparently having an ocean effect involved with the system. Northeast winds around the low pressure would give those areas in pink over 6 inches.

I hope so, new models say OUT TO SEA. I think that will change and the previous forecast will hold true.

I think you may be overdone along the New Jersey coast, and underdone Across extreme Southeastern New England. Otherwise, it looks pretty reasonable

[Anonymous]

I don't know how you come to that conclusion. The models are all out to see, NO ONE GETS ANY SNOW.
