It's not rare at all to see or get snow falling in the area. Another false fact you put out there.
And by the way... since when does one location represent a snow"storm" now?
We all know Bridgeport getting 2" of snow might mean there was an actual snowstorm.
NYC doesn't represent the Northeast just like 1 location with 1" doesn't mean there wasn't a snowstorm overhead. Pretty sure it doesn't snow with a Surface High overhead
VIDEO: GFS Versus ECMWF on the Storm Next Week

Video on the differences between the GFS and ECMWF for next week. I am leaning toward the GFS solution only because the typhoon recurving rule which means a trough more in the East.
You’re not going to seriously compare the population, importance, and economic activity, etc. with the I-95 corridor from NYC to Washington Dc….with places like Springfield, or Worchester, MA are you?
Saying more people live on the coast is a bit misleading don’t you think? TEN TIMES more people live within 35 miles of the Atlantic coast in the Northeast than in the “interior” Northeast.
YOU might focus more on the interior Northeast....but in terms of importance most people would never. When is the last time there was a headline that it might snow in Albany or Worchester on ABC NEWS?
Never, because it has no market value.
You're focusing on a sliver of the region and ignoring the vast majority of it. You harp about the media focusing on these major cities and now you're doing the exact same thing. A bit hypocritical, don't you think?
But if we're going to focus on population, you can't ignore the +2,000,000* people that live in Northern New Jersey, which has a climate more in common with Poconos (as Tom points out) than NYC or coastal areas.
*Sussex County, Passaic County, Morris County, Bergen County, Essex County
Then there's places like Rockland County, Orange County, etc. in the Hudson Valley of New York. These NJ and NY state locations aren't just some fly on the wall place with no economic or demographic significance. Quite the opposite.
Looks like a warm rain next week in the East. GFS6z for Thursday evening here. Storm track still my thinking cuts towards great lakes. Cold air well up in Canada. Watch the southern plains for any snow with this system mid week.
A RECORD SNOWFALL OF 4.7 INCHES WAS SET AT SAULT STE MARIE MIYESTERDAY...OCTOBER 24 2013. THIS BROKE THE OLD RECORD OF 1.8 INCHES SET IN 1969.
