OBS and nowcast Thursday morning 2/18 - 11PM Friday 2/19/21
kat5hurricane replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
I bet that's sleet. Snow just started getting heavy here, after hours of light to moderate. -

Light to moderate snow in Whitestone. The snow stuck everywhere instantly. I went shopping, came out about an hour later and about an inch accumulated on the car. -
Feb 18-19 long duration manageable snow and ice event

This place is dead. I know it's not a big storm but it just shows how spoiled we've been this year (month really). A potential 4-6 inch storm would have had this place buzzing the last few winters. -

I will always root for snow, but once I feel that warmth on my face even in February (and yesterday felt really warm) I start to long for spring. -

For sure. Yesterday was 50 for the first time in forever and it felt fantastic, I actually went outside in a hoodie and no jacket for the first time since early December-ish. As much of a fan of snow I am, I start to look forward to spring as we near March. Especially with everything going on in the world, this has felt like a longer, harder winter than most. -

Just took the dog for a long walk. This is a beautiful snow to take a stroll in, even he enjoyed it and he doesn't usually like the snow. About 5" in Whitestone. -

It's a literal snow globe out there, this is the best kind of snow with the calm winds and the snow coming down steadily. Heaviest of the day here. -

There's already a couple of inches down in and around the city. -

Went from nothing to pretty heavy snow right away, huge flakes. It's sticking everywhere but the main roads. -
2-7-21 Sunday 8-12 hour nor'easter snowstorm roughly 5A-5P
kat5hurricane replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
The models pretty much nailed the last event only a day out. They've been fine. This was never going to be a big event because the storm is moving so fast, it's a moderate sized 3-6 inch deal less west more east. The models never spit out a major event with this one, at least not the consensus. -

It's the same story pretty much every storm close to the event, Nam too wet and GFS too dry. As usual, take a blend of the models and you have a 3-6 inch type deal. -

kat5hurricane replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Yes it was. That was probably my favorite all time winter, cold 4-8 inch type storms every week seemingly which kept refreshing the snowpack. The snowpack lasted all February pretty much, a rarity in our area. -
Still snowing lightly in Whitestone, ended up with around 14" and a mountain of snow to dig out around my car. I thought the models did very well nailing down the snow distribution. Most were targeting North Central Jersey and Eastern PA with the highest totals for days outside of the Nam which had a NYC/L.I. jackpot for a time on Saturday I believe.

Snow is much lighter in Whitestone. I'm about to head out with the dog so I'll see how much has fallen, I'd guess about 11-12" based on area reports. It looks like we won't hit those 20+ inch totals in and around the city, or even 15+ unless these bands pivot through which seems unlikely if the storm stalls and eventually occludes.

Heaviest of the day, whiteout conditions. I'm going to enjoy it while I can before the dry slot hits.

It's semantics really but they should have hoisted Blizzard Warnings. This is a full fledged blizzard and it's not going to let up anytime soon.

Snow getting really heavy here. I don't know why there's so much talk of a little sleet mixing in tonight. Who cares? The bulk of the heaviest stuff will be done by then. This is going to be a historic snowstorm for many whether it's 20 inches or 25-30 inches. Just enjoy it because you don't know when we'll see one like this again.

Daytime CCB Ownage is the best kind of CCB Ownage. That's what we had in January 2016, the last real big snowstorm in my area.
