  1. Alot of ice here in the bx. Much more than the last time. Thick coating everywhere, a quarter inch ice on some surfaces, but some of that is sleet holding it together so dunno how you measure that. Some sagging trees along Pelham Pkwy. Right now freezing rain and sleet mix and 30.
  2. Feels great out, 69 here..dew point has started to plummet last 30 mins though
  3. Maybr because a snow squall is like the winter equivalent of a summer severe t-storm ?
  4. Mostly cloudy..some breaks of sun and 61
  5. Is anyone getting acclumation on paved surfaces? If so how far from the city does it start to stick
  6. Snow picked up alot compared to before sunrise..now around 2" on the trees and cars. Heavier snow not but still no acclumation at all on paved surfaces. Temp down to 31. Yday was 61.
  7. Temp off to the races today. Already 51 under sunny skies. About a 10 degree jump in a hour. Today suppose to be a few degrees cooler than yday I think. We'll see how that holds up.
  8. It's basically impossible to walk outside. Ice coating everywhere. Streets have a glossy sheen now too.
  9. Noticeable difference here in the last hour. Trees are icy and sidewalks starting to ice over. I'm down to 29 in the bx. Based on NYC micronets, 28 at Lehman College, 29 by Parkchester, 29 at Queens College
  10. Down to 30 with moderate freezing rain. Technically anyway. There is some ice shining on trees in the last 30 mins
  11. Yup I agree..and having the remote option to fall back on makes it an easier decision for some places.
  12. Quite a gradient, even if it lasted for like 15 mins. I went from 56 to 37 btwn 630 and 730am. It did feel damn good this am while it lasted.
  13. 42 with Dense fog. Huge amount of snow melt overnight
  14. Islip average snowfall to date really 14.9"? More than NYC, same as Newark.
  15. It was tough to measure but it avg 9" - 11" outside of snow drifts or bare ground areas. So I call it 10.5" matching the closest official place at LGA. Around 8" is believable in the Park to me. For a while radar kept showing moderate snow bands not getting past a line from about Westchester sound shore areas, middle of the Bx, western Qns down to parts of BK. Those higher totals north of Midtown into the Bronx etc are more ENE or NE, not just North. Areas near the Hudson in NJ look comparable to Central Park, and places north on the Hudson side of Westchester County a little less.
  16. Yeah it is deceptive. It was looking not that heavy until you go outside, those little fine flakes pile up. Thats Pelham Pkwy?..I was walking over there a little while ago and to Bronx Park E.
  17. Reminds me of lake effect snow when I was in college. Was my introduction to light powdery snow and how easy it can stack up..also how much easier it is to deal with that the usual wet heavy stuff
  18. How far west has acclumating snow reached? Some radars look ok, and some look horrible with some snow back to eastern Bx and central Queens but not much more than flurries west of the East River/Harlem River. Or does it not pick up this dry powdery stuff well? I'd expect more people freaking out lol Tough to measure but 7 or 8" maybe
  19. That make sense..I started further NE at Pelham Pkwy and it was increasingly hazy going SW to 149th/3rd Ave. Coming up the stairs near WTC white smoke in the air look like snow for a sec. You can feel and taste it down here. I think wind is more due west now instead of SW earlier helping to push it uptown more
  20. Faint smoke in the bx to now heavy irrating smoke and smell in lower Manhattan from the Newark fire
  21. Moderate snow in lower Manhattan. No acclumation..not even on grassy surfaces or cars. A mod to heavy windswept white rain
  22. Now rain snow sleet mix here, bx. Pictures I've seen in Manhattan and BK on social media look more impressive, don't know if they got under a heavier snow band or I'm too close to the Sound with a gusty E wind off of it, but I'd call it a trace here.
