Snow moves in this am - 4-8"

I haven't had the chance to geek out with all of the models for this little snowstorm but from what I can tell it looks like a nice little 6" er for many parts of the NY metro. I think the interesting aspect of this one might be the very high snow : liquid rations in north west suburbs and exburbs of NYC. I wouldn't be surprised to see some much higher numbers around Kingston where the media is forecasting only a couple of inches. Also I would watch for a secondary low to develop off the coast Thu night. There is some risk of this hanging around and eastern LI and SE CT and MA getting some bonus snow out of this as it cranks up and pulls away Fri am.
