Which radar is this ? I would like the link and see what it shows for NYC area

Switched over at 4pm. Heavy dusting now. Oldfield point. Cecil county Md.

very well could be

4-6" in this band alone

He should probably not post

Is that the source of the alien drones over NJ?

Sidewalks just started to get fully covered on the UWS after 7.5 hours of snow. I do fear for the trees in Riverside Park, which have been snowcovered for hours and are sitting in an absolute swamp.

Really coming down good now. Heavy snow. 31F. Radar looks incredible.

Streets starting to cave in Astoria Queens. Just took my first measurement. 2/10th of inch.

Winds noticeable now, rates back up, 32.2 road is white, eyeballing 2" on coldest surfaces. Snow flakes size much smaller

At freezing or very close now in Columbia. Ratios should jump up nicely with these rates and flakes.

I've been working in FCPS for over 25 years. They fluctuate in their closings, but they have been burned many times by forecasts of snow that ended up as cold rain. Then parents get pissed. So they often do a delay with a re-evaluation for closing. If the NWS would give us a WARNING, they would go ahead and close. But don't worry. They will probably change it later this evening to give parents a heads-up.

Yup. In all my years here. A storm track from Cape May to east end of Long Island.

Great looking radar central suffolk, it’s dumping. Best part is we’re still hours away from the main event

Great beer!! I was drinking Maine Lunch on tap at my friends house at 8am today watching US win Gold!!

31.6 and moderate to heavy snow. Looking good.

Tarmac caving now as well. My flight appears to still be leaving on time - good luck to you all tonight!

Lets go!!! This is all new

It’s fine. Blood pressure is now normal after years of marital bliss.

32.5F now - roads will prob start caving soon

Starting to really come down out here now

I stop caring what the ceiling might have been once there is heavy snow flying and I'm outside in it. A good jebwalk cures everything.

The models for this storm have actually been pretty damn stellar. But if your basing succes and failure on 3rd order effects you are going to be frustrated. Basing the 'success' of a model on one snowfall map is like saying a GPS is broken because it didn't predict a 5-minute traffic jam at a specific light. The models have been remarkably consistent on the storm's track and energy. Snow totals are just the final, most volatile output of a massive equation involving ratios and column saturation. If the physics are right, the model is doing its job—the fluff factor is just the 'noise' at the end.". You have a situation where the big models have a 12km resolution and the hi res ones 3km. The median displacement forecast error is approximately 40 miles for HRRR and almost twice that for global. Think what that means in this situation. It isn't even a a unique feature to the storm every big nor'easter has the same fundamental physics in play. It was never a question of whether there would be a subsistence zone, only where Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Appreciate the report. There's definitely a little band setting up right along MD 97 into Carroll County. I polled some of the DOT cameras in that area and the roads and sidewalks are starting to cave.
