OBS-Nowcast Noon Saturday 2/15-Noon Monday 2/17
CPcantmeasuresnow 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.- 475 replies

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

It was a good area for that storm 45 inches in New Haven, but the jackpot was actually the Albany Saratoga region in NY. Albany had 48 inches and Saratoga 58 inches. Most of the HV was over 40.
-
And in one nights run that has now changed to low 30's for Sunday highs here and upper 30's in NYC. That's a huge change inn one model run and all models seem to be on board. Still 2-3 days out wonder how far this can trend?

Winter 2024-2025 All Tri-State Snowfall Totals Maps

I have to say it one more time. This thread was a fantastic idea. Thanks again for updating and maintaining this. It's a great way to scroll through the whole winter. -
To those of us that have this insane love of snow it's hard to describe to non-snow people. Where I am, which is approximately 50 miles due north of Midtown Manhattan, I'm approaching 30 inches of snow for the season and more importantly snow cover for over 35 days. That's probably near normal for my area to this point in time, and it's really all it takes for me to wake up in the morning and feel good. Looking outside at a simple scene like what you posted just brings a calmness, peacefulness, call it serenity. I thought by my age it would wear off but it's 50+ years and I can tell you you don't outgrow it, which is actually a good thing.

Winter 2024-2025 All Tri-State Snowfall Totals Maps
CPcantmeasuresnow replied to The 4 Seasons's topic in New York City Metro
It's not, except they are the biggest city in the United States and they've been doing it for years. Sometimes it gets better for a short while when they pay attention. And I get it about Bridgeport too. They are always suspiciously low. -

And you believe the 1.6 surrounded by a sea of 2 and 3 somethings was a legit timely accurate measurement? Okay whatever. -
Winter 2024-2025 All Tri-State Snowfall Totals Maps

Just seeing this for the first time and appreciate you doing this. as of today in Highland Mills NY in eastern Orange County I'm at 28.3 inches YTD. Most of the Orange County observers that keep track are between 25-30 right now. -
Thank you for posting a map that includes us northern folk. Even though we interbreed we still have feelings regarding snow. I still don't get why we need so many maps including all of Delaware and Maryland. I think I can safely argue they are not part of our forum.
