We now have bright sunshine across the Sound in southern Westchester County.

Sun breaking out here too now. Id call it mostly cloudy still though, or "mix of clouds and sun"

Good for people in DC who want snow. We’ve had a lot recently, so if you enjoy it down there, that’s great.


.

They been missing storms to the north, east and south for years now. We cant get every storm.

Have a slight dusting in wantagh, anyone else on the island or nyc area have anything?

Not a flurry here in the Bx. Snow on radar not reaching the ground. 

Actually the cloud cover is thinning out in spots.

I dont think that the AMO phase has been the cause of the big snowfall seasons.  I think we are just getting bigger precip storms because of our climate changing and warmer air holding more moisture.  It's not like our winters are getting colder, they're actually getting warmer, but in borderline events we are getting more snow because storms carry more moisture.  You see that in the other seasons with more 3"+ rain events than we did before too.  And places which are on the other side, like Washington DC, are actually seeing less snow now than they did in the 80s.  So it's not about the AMO at all, it's about our changing climate.  And once we warm up enough, guess what will happen- our snowfall averages will be where DC is now.  It will happen before 2100 and maybe by 2050.

 

DC has it bad..in terms of snowfall they might as well be Atlanta now. Meanwhile we have increasing snow avgs. The spread in avg snowfall is massive now over an area not *that* far apart.

Prevailing storm tracks seem to consistantly suck for that area. Snow always to the north or south. Norfolk ends up doing better than DC.

Excellent point!   The way the winters have been around here that’s pretty much all we haven’t seen yet.   

I was always so jealous of those who lived “north and west” of NYC, we on LI would get rain while they cashed in.  Now lots of snow is normal.  Unreal 

Yeah I grew up so envious of those living "north & west." 3" events in the city was enough to make me happy back then. That what I grew up under so like most things, ppl use there formative years as the baseline for the rest of their life. All these big snow events on a regular basis in the 2000s has been a dream come true, but I never got confortable with it. I feel it can end any time lol. 

Temps continue to rise, up to 59 now

There was some flooding and beach erosion in the Rockaways. A little more significant than most ppl expected.

Came through the uws as rain, damn

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.

Wow, the city put down an incredible amount of salt on Broadway. Piles on each corner. It’s going to lovely when it’s blowing around tomorrow. I’m still in the process of doing the leaf cleanup here too. Not using a blower anywhere near that. CAA defenitly kicking in now...

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 

Radar showed rain but  got 10 or 15 mins of heavy snow here in the bx...coating everything, melting instantly when it got light.

Still pandemonium outside.

The city is crippled by 6 inches of snow. Sad state of affairs. City officials better wear a lot of egg on their face for this debacle.

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.

Trees branches are coming down. Still leaves on many trees

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

The city is a disaster!!! Busses stuck everywhere 

 

ripping right now with about 5”

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.

Climate report at 445 will likely tell us.  They’ve had .21 liquid so I would guess close to 2 inches although been more since top of the hour 

Im in lower Manhattan and it looks about 2"

Took me 35 min to get home (10 miles, usually a 15-20 min trip) and that was back roads - those poor souls on major highways looked stuck per Google Maps. As of 3 pm the Metuchen snowglobe has received 4.0" of heavy wet snow and it's still snowing heavily - looks like we may actually get that 6", as the snow/rain/sleet line looks like it's still down in Monmouth County - holy overperforming snowstorm Batman!!  NB reporting 3" an hour ago, Philly reporting 3" an hour ago and my friend in Medford (NW Burlington Co) has 4" as of 3 pm, so we're likely to see widespread 3-6" along the 95 corridor from Philly to NYC.

yo I dare anyone to look at google maps now. lol.
