Weather - When will the first big snowfall arrive in Central Park, NYC (Fall 2008-Spring 2009)?

Current forecast: January 16, 2009 - January 31, 2009 (23% chance)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is January 16, 2009 - January 31, 2009 with a probability of 23% (unchanged in last 1 day)

Sometimes it snows a lot in New York City in the winter. Sometimes it doesn't.

For the purposes of this question, a "big" snowfall will be defined as 6" or more accumulated in any twenty-four hour period. Settlement date will be the beginning of the snowfall (For example a snowfall reported by the NWS as occurring Dec 31-Jan 1 will be settled as Dec 31).

If there is no accumulation of snow of 6" or more in any 24 hour period before May 31, 2009, this question settles as "Other."
