  1. I may have jumped the gun. Just went out there and it's about 3" and the heaviest of the night is coming down now and piling up quickly, hoping to get 4-5 out of it.
  2. It looks nice outside but it's definitely on the low end of the 4-8" predictions, lower than that actually. We had 1-2 hours of moderate snow and that's about it. We'll see how the rest of the night plays out but it's been a pretty lame storm overall.
  3. Snowing pretty good in Whitestone. I'd say at least a couple of inches and snowing moderately
  4. The North Shore of L.I. always does well compared to the city especially in Suffolk.
  5. Sleet mixed in here now with the rates lightening up a bit, not a great sign for us in and near the city. Those of you on Long Island are going to cash in nicely.
  6. Snow came in like a wall here in Whitestone, everything covered immediately. Looks beautiful out there.
  7. A little burst to coat everything about an hour ago, just flurries since
  8. Light powdery snow here in Whitestone, immediately sticking to everything unlike last storm
  9. That seems a little high but Upton usually plays catch up at the last minute or even during the storm. I think 3-6" is a good call
  10. Insane line at Stop & Shop. You'd think this was Boxing Day Blizzard Part 2 smh
  11. There's not one other model that has jumped as far north as the nam, the jumps in the other models have been far more subtle. With that said, the north trend is a common occurrence so I would expect at least a nudge north by the other models and for the heaviest snow to go further north. Still, a 2-4, 3-5 inch storm for the immediate metro is nothing to scoff at.
  12. I think we get the low end of the 3-6", not always the case but usually north trend is the rule with these types of storms and sleet might cut down on some of the accumulations. Either way, it'll be a nice little storm for just about all of us so just enjoy. Merry Christmas all
  13. Eyeballing 3-4" here in Whitestone, beautiful outside with the snow sticking to everything. It looks like the NW suburbs overachieved due to colder temps and higher ratios so everybody cashed in and should be happy.
  14. Light snow, just starting to stick a bit on the car tops.
  15. Your posts in this thread have been ridiculous. As has been stated numerous times, the snow wasn't supposed to pick up until after midnight.
  16. Really liking the trends for us in the immediate metro and when Forky is giving the go ahead that perks my ears up even more. 3-5 seems like a good call with some local higher amounts probably out east. It's funny how perspective changes, from 2000-2018 a storm like this would barely be a blip on the radar but nowadays this is pretty exciting, brings me back to my youth in the 90s when any moderate storm was a big deal.
  17. Has the long term decline been unmistakable? It's been a drought over the last 5 years but that was following an 18 year period of one of the snowiest eras ever recorded in the metro area. What's unmistakable is the warming temperatures but I don't think a 5 year period is enough of a sample size to declare that snowfall is now in a long term decline.
  18. Because it's harder to wake up when it's dark for most people I'd imagine, for me at least, and I think most people would rather see some light when leaving for work in the morning.
  19. Thank God for that. Leaving the house at 6:30 to darkness is not fun.
  20. I actually think the slight east jog is a tiny blessing as Negril and Montego Bay might get spared the absolute worst in terms of wind, the rain is going to be a big story either way.
  21. It looks like it's actually expanding as it approaches Jamaica, fascinating and frightening all at once.
  22. Long springs, long summers, short falls and winters have been the theme of the 2020s. Even early October is part of extended summer nowadays.
