I think you may have just missed the short snow squall. It came through where they inflate the baloons for the parade to the suprise of everyone there.
lol i came to post the same thing. Salt/plow trucks driving around. If ppl blamed the city for the chaos we had then they gotta accept the salt storm for every chance of a flurry.
1-3" salt forecast overnight. Salt drifts in spots
To be fair i didnt see many forecasts that would of called for a plowable snow in the City/coast. Any acclumation would of been washed away by rain soon after and acclumation if any was expected to be on grassy surfaces only anyway. Obviously that turned out to not be the case...but I think they planned for what was forecast.
Heavy snowfall rates during rush hr, even if its only a couple inches total, has always been terrible. Even when its expected. A suprise 6"+ right at rush hr is epic.
Now its mostly sleet/freezing rain but its 27 so thats not good.
All transportation is crippled like a blizzard. Its terrible out some of the worst gridlock. I saw ppl standing on the cross bx
Travel by car bus train is a disaster. Just got out the tunnel into the bronx to an amazingly snowy nov landscape. Thought it might change over to rain by the time i got back outside but still snowing at a good clip.
at Regan National sitting in the Potomac...that means probably like 2"+ in a lot of the District itself.
NWS had to put up the Winter Weather Advisory and WSW N&W for us
30, first freeze.
If we manage to get any acclumation in the city how unusual would it be to have a first freeze and first measurable snowfall basically at the same time
Had a low of 34 here. Its funny now NYC is usually one of the last places to have a freeze. Places like Huntsville, AL, Charlotte, Raleigh, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlantic City have all had there 1st freeze.
Thought they might issue a freeze warning for NYC but guess we will be a touch too mild. I actually still have a few peppers outside still holding on. Freeze warning for southern Westchester, Hudson, eastern Essex, NJ.
Has Nassau County technically had a freeze yet?
