	  OBS-Nowcast Noon Saturday 2/15-Noon Monday 2/17CPcantmeasuresnow replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro 31° and freezing drizzle continues. This snow pack of 4 or so inches will have the durability of a 2 foot pack of fluff.

	1.3 inches with 29.6 ytd I now have 11 events of one inch or more this season 7 of them between 1.1 and 1.9 inches. It's been an interesting way to nickel and dime your way to an average snowfall season. The 8 inches from January 19 seems like a blizzard now.

	I do not, I just track the number of days with at least an inch on 80% of the ground. I would say of the 40 days so far the far majority have been in the 3-5 inch depth range.

	  OBS-Nowcast Noon Saturday 2/15-Noon Monday 2/17CPcantmeasuresnow replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro 27° and light sleet/snow mix. 1.3 inches so far in 7 1/2 hours of continuous snow, not setting any records. That will probably be it accumulation wise for this. I thought for sure this morning I'd go above 30 inches for the season but right now at 29.6 where it will most likely stay. Now I turn my attention to the ice. One of the few times during a winter event I will now be rooting for a sharp temperature spike up.

	I realize it's not a trackable event, but does the constant snow cover do anything for you? I'm at 40 days for the season right now and 24 of the last 26 days since the 8 inches on Jan 19th. That and the sub zero days and the 28.9 inches so far at least makes this winter feel normal again unlike the last two atrocities.
- 
	0.6 inches for 3 1/2 hours of continuous snow. I think I can safely say 3-4 inches is out of the equation. 26° and snow continues.

	I may as well accept I'll be without power tomorrow. Not my favorite thing.

	Definitely interested and have been all week. Looking to get 3 to 4 inches out of this, followed by a coating of ice, which will just make the snow cover which is already solid, even more impervious to rain and Sundays 39 degree high. I think everyone's already getting very sidetracked on Thursday's potential I'm 50-50 on that one right now, but the last two euro runs did show over 2 feet for our area so hard not to be. Of course the GFS missed us so that's why you can't get too invested yet.

	I'm very leery of next week. To many unsettled variables and to much talk way to early. If it does become a major snow maker for our area I'll be very surprised.
- 
	If we can add 3-4 inches tomorrow with frozen after that it will withstand several hours of above freezing rain Sunday and come out even stronger. The sustained snow packs that gradually absorb a high water content and freezes are the ones that can withstand almost anything.
- 
	North of the city I think we're talking 8-10 hours, hopefully the rain amounts are overdone.
- 
	Things have changed since this morning. Projected highs have gone up three degrees since then from 31 to 34. I'll take it you can keep any ice storms, no use for it.
- 
	Right now as modeled that won't be the case in the areas North and West of NYC. Stays at or below freezing through Sunday. Icing may be a real issue with this especially 30 miles or more North of the city
