I'm forecast about an inch of very cold rain. There's a slight chance of back end flurries, but it's looking unlikely. So this will be the third near miss for snow this season. That's better than last year, when we'd only had two near misses by this point.

Not often we see precip in the qpf column with 850s below freezing in November. Usually I see precip and warmth this month but when timing is right...this can happen.
Euro00z shows Islip Long Island surface in Mid 40s Wed 7am compared to mid 30s in Danbury, CT.
GFS similar. Not a Philly or Long Island snowstorm at all. Not cold enough this time.
Here's the sounding for Islip from GFS6z for 10am Wednesday. This is why you need to look at this.. If you just saw the 850mb level you wouldn't know that's about it. It's not/barely below freezing below that. Too warm for snow!
