  1. Wow temps pushing 50 under filtered sun and lots of melting.
  2. Around 2.5" I think, then mostly freezing rain. It was enough to end a record length between at least 0.5+" snowfalls. It was 709 days I believe. The Dec storm was a trace at the airport but some neighborhoods did get a little from that one.
  3. Heavy snow. So windswept its hard to measure but but it was over 6" a few hrs ago so got to be getting close to 10 by now. near whiteout conditions.
  4. Had a nice burst of mod snow, now ending as mostly light mist/drizzle. Coating is already melting away.
  5. Are you toward the Yonkers/Riverdale side? I would be surpised to have all snow there vs Co op city/Pelham, LI sound side. I did go over to all snow for a short time but now it light snow/sleet/drizzle. No acclumation.
  6. Rain..with an occasional wet snow flake mixed in the Bronx..around eastern end of pelham pkwy
  7. Looks like a lot of small pockets of power outages scattered around, many traffic lights not working.
  8. Its was funny to see, at least for a short time the Delware coast to E New England the warmest places in the US. Low 60s in NYC, 20s in GA..teens in spots, 30s into FL.
  9. Somers in northern Westchester recorded a 71 mph gust at their mesonet. Low 60s gusts in Queens, Bronx then it drops off some towards LI for whatever reason.
  10. Looks wild outside. A couple parking signs took flight. Anything loose is on the move. Sideways torrential rain
  11. Dec 92 was the most memorable weather event of my life until Sandy. At least when it comes to non snow events. (However it did snow inland I believe). I didnt go to school that day but I learned the concept of "storm surge" watching footage of ppl trying to walk though white caps in Lower Manhattan, rescues on the FDR, and houses fall into the ocean in Brooklyn. Most major bridges had to close and subways crippled with flooding. Little did I know I was 4 yrs away from the Blizzard of 96 and the only snow days of my life, as NYC schools closed for the 1st time since the 70s, before I was born. It was mind blowing stuff, especially since this was before the unprecedented snowfall run starting in the 2000s. That's another topic though.
  12. Anyone know what the median snowfall is? Espically for the current 30 yr normals and the new normals coming out soon I saw somewhere the avg snowfall across the US is about 28", which would make NYC a very average place for snow. Of couse there is alot of ways to get to the same totals, I think it can be more feast or famine here near the coast compared to others regions. We avg more annual precip than alot of places so even though it feels like alot of pieces have to come together to get a good snowfall here, we get alot of opportunities. We're like a mediocre 3 pt shooter who gets alot of shots up. The midwest away from lake effect areas pile up snow more efficiently but efficient isnt always fun.
  13. Snow, 36. Coating existing snowpack, no accumulation otherwise. Had a few short power outages yday with muliple smoking/sparking manholes around.
  14. Final snow showers leaving Glen Island Park, New Rochelle toward Pelham bay park, Bx
  15. The ratios were pretty good too, alot of snow with temps well down in the 20s, at least for the Park and N&W from there.
  16. I hope they measure again before it compacts, periods of moderate snow continue through the morning. Right now it looks the best is just north and just south of midtown but they were under it earlier.
  17. This "last" band of snow has been going for hours now. It weakens, then builds back time to time, but its not really pulling away since before sunrise.
  18. I saw news reports a little while ago saying 10" at Central Park. I haven't seen any offical NWS update after 1am with 6.5". 10" sounds reasonable. The wind makes it hard to measure but it looks about a foot give or take an inch here.
