The Norlun Trough I have never seen such a snow storm setup.

Air is forced to rise near this feature. Instability associated with this so-called "Norlun instability trough" (NIT, for short) can produce snowfall rates of several inches per hour in snowbands only 25-50 miles wide. The width and intensity of these NIT snowbands are similar to lake-effect snowbands.

Where these NIT snowbands persist the longest...you guessed it...the heaviest accumulations occur.

Right now, the best chance of significant snow appears to target northeast Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, and the Catskills northward into the Mohawk Valley of New York, possibly including parts of the New York City metro area Friday into early Saturday. Again, this is mainly due to the possible appearance of NIT snowbands.
