Cold rain is the most miserable weather.

Same here

25 here

I was down in Monmouth county for the storm at my sisters house. She lives about a quarter mile from Sandy Hook Bay. Couldn’t get an accurate measurement because of the drifting. There was a snow drift up the side of her house that was at least 6 feet. Her car was completely buried under a drift. High snow totals are fun but combine them with 50 mph wind gusts and it’s a completely different experience.

I think this was the greatest snowstorm I’ve experienced. Never in my life have I seen snow drifts as high as with this storm. 

Me watching from far away when the main discussion thread devolves into global warming arguments.

It's cool to see the lower altitude haze in the distance. This was evident in the city today, too.

Despite how dry it is, aerosols are trapped near the surface due to the strong inversion and stagnant high pressure in place. 

Your scientific insight is so valuable in this sub forum. Thank you. 

Took a trip to Sams Point in the Shawangunks today. Beautiful up there. 

.5” in Astoria after that last snow shower. Really nice snow growth. 

There are lots of trade offs to living in NYC, not just negatives.

Well, if the 10:1 ratio maps are showing that little, it means virtually no snow and all ice. But you go ahead and root for an ice storm. I hope you loose power for days on end through the cold snap after and your pipes all burst :-)

I had to let some family members who live in Rockland county know that they may have a significant icing event tomorrow which they were unaware of. The NWS is only calling for about .10 inch of ZR. WTF?

While I think .10 might be low balling the icing threat the actual ice accretion can be a little nuanced. Just because an inch of freezing rain falls doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll all stick to cold surfaces. Though it will be pretty cold... so idk.

Yeah, the increase in freezing rain just north and west is very concerning.

 

I’ve witnessed some bad icing events in northern NJ over the years but I don’t think I’ve ever seen over .5 inches of ice accretion. Can only imagine the damage an inch would cause.

Why did I have to be born in NYC?

Horrible winter climate 

Funny enough I know a lot of people who say those same words but mean the exact opposite. 

Let’s have an existential discussion around the term “crushing”.

flakes here as well. 5th straight day of snow falling from the sky.

Glad to know it’s falling from the sky as opposed to falling from anywhere else.

Guess where I live 

Queens snow hole lol.

Deform band on the Canadian.

I’ve noticed and I think it was mentioned in the New England forum that there’s some sort of random blob of heavy precipitation that keeps popping up near NYC as the low tracks just to the south. Any idea what is causing that on the models? Is that just banding?

Euro is a no go. Looks like the nam is on it's own.

North and West areas do well.

Why do I have the feeling we're going to see a redux of last November's snowstorm. DPW better be on alert with this one. Highly volatile forecast.

That debacle is still fresh and weighing on everyone’s mind. Not just clean up crews but the public in general. I don’t see it happening on Monday.

12z euro is tucked and crawls south of Long Island to over cape cod. 

Euro and CMC have the low stalling off Cape Cod. GFS stalls closer to Long Island. 

Euro is warmer initially than the 12z run. Wrap around snows clobber NW areas.

Yeah, but the evening wasnt kind. NW folks are ok.  0z GFS wasn't better but not really worse the rogue 18z band wasn't realistic. 

I dunno, I feel like coastal folks should have been keeping their expectations tempered. Not to say there still isn't potential for the coast to see some snow. NW areas, obviously, do better this time of year.
