it's having a hard time pushing south and east.  it appears like it's been stationary for a while

kinda is getting me worried

The front is in central Virginia. Just look at the temp profiles below. The problem is there is only so much cold air filtering in this evening. Temps are pretty uniform. Albany is at 39, Boston is 40, here in central NJ I'm at 41 and in Virginia they are in the 40's.

o that it shows albany around 33-35

Just be patient and wait for the cold. This is a slow drop at this point with uniform temps. Heck - it's barely below frezing in northern Maine with Caribou at 29. The issue for the storm is the same as always - track. If the storm moves too close to the coast it cuts off the cold and brings warmer air in aloft. This is likely to be the case in Boston, where the real storm precip likely starts as snow and goes to sleet or rain at the height of the storm based on the current track. This is a storm where - if it was January - you'd be a lot better to be in Trenton then in Boston. In mid March - jury is out on that. But for sure it's better to be in NW NJ then in Boston based on current models.
