Matching NWS
-
For whats its worth, temps look slightly lower that forecast at this time. LGA is 34 instead of upper 30s. If we hold nearly steady today then drop a few tonight we'd be ahead of the game
-
That was always forecast though. I dont think the forecasts were relying on much acclumation during the day today, especially in the morning. In the bx I started as drizzle to now steady snow but basically white rain for now. I expected rain or white rain for a while today.
-
That's how these grocery stores must feel. People suddenly woke up to a blizzard warning this morning and pandemonium ensued, with little to no preparation for it.
-
Snow is melting but fairly slow for mostly sunny and 46F day. That sleet content must have some real staying power.
-
There is lots of ice on the protected bays and harbors on the Sound shore
-
Back door cold front season this spring gonna be interesting. Those depressing misty 45 degrees days, knowing its like 70 in Philly and 80 in DC.
-
12.5" storm total, Bx 21.6" season to date.
-
Burst of heavy sleet now. Measured about 10" of snow earlier before the changeover. Now a little over 12" of snow and sleet. Tough to move and terrible for snowballs but I'll take it
-
Heavy sleet in the Bx. 19* Just over 10" of snow before changeover to sleet. Snow removal with significant sleet acclumation is going to be back breaking.
-
Heavy snow and around 9" on the ground now.
-
I meant the point and click forecast ppl see, added up was crazy amounts.
-
Well it is the Post..far from high level journalism. That said, the NWS forecasts right now are showing 18" - 25"+ totals in and around NYC so thats getting into historic range.
-
Central Park: 0.5" LGA: T JFK: 0.4" EWR: 0.7" Upton NWS: 1.4" Bridgeport: 0.2"
-
Yeah I think this is what it is. It can officially be over 4", but be hard pressed to find an actual snow depth to match that this morning.
-
Last storm was more for me too.
-
Measured about 3" in Bronx Park E 4" in CPK isn't bad. I couldn't find any 4" spot around here. Anywhere I measured was fairly consistent 2.5" to 3". Maybe areas to the south got into that ocean effect band?
-
Switched to mainly sleet now in the Bx. Coming down good though. Eyeballing close to 2" of snow/sleet.
-
In New Rochelle, rain switch to heavy snow. For now, no accumulation grassy surfaces or pavement.
-
I can see that. All it takes is a couple degrees colder to buy a few more hours of acclumating snow vs white rain. Especially once you get to the Cross County Pkwy and north.
-
Measured 3.25" in Pelham Bay Park. I believe is the most significant snowfall in years. Did some real snow shoveling for the first time in a while. Heavy wet stuff doesn't help.
-
If they measure again it should be more. The best accumulation was really just the last hour or so. Micronets show freezing temps only recently getting into the 5 boros and more so uptown. This is shaping up to be more a Sunday storm than a overnight one since the temps were relatively mild
-
Yeah its not a huge amount of snow but its so wet and pasty it looks like winter wonderland if you are in a park or lightly traveled residential street. Turn the corner onto a busier street and it suddenly just pockets of slush. Still snowing now though.
-
Not surprised at all. It struggles to stick there even when its cold. At these temps no way, unless you get under some extreme rates. Manhattan micronets are 33 - 36 degrees currently.
-
Looks around 2" of very heavy wet snow coating everything. Never went below freezing overnight. Currently 33 with moderate snowfall falling.
