Welcome to Chicago. Hope you like frequent disappointment 

Thank you! Haha, yes I've had my fair share of disappointments with the coastal storms there. Have gotten numb to it at this point 

snow in the loop.. can't wait how much we get

also, just moved to Chicago from the northeast 

damn Central LI is getting rocked with more to come from the south too

Just FYI, LIRR suspending operations tomorrow. Last trains leave before 630am

The only time I've seen a map like this was for the Blizzard of 1888, except the 40 plus inch totals were then up in CT and upstate NY

 

I'm not sure any of the models were running 4DVAR  back in 1888 but I could see the 00z suite back then showing 40inch totals.. jk jk jk

Best run I've ever seen for Long Island

Damnnnnn.. I'm so sad I'm gonna miss this... but I already told my parents it could be yuge there.. enjoy the Holbrook snow for me!

I read something about the recon sampling over the Pacific.. has that been ingested into tonight's 00z suite??

This is where this belong lol.  But the ukie really was close.  

 

Is it just me or is the shafted region across NJ/Philly area looking very phallic

Seeing some flakes flying on the East Hampton Beach Cam

Back home.  Freezing drizzle in Holbrook.  I'll go with whatever ISP or the other Holbrook guys report as a snow total.  

Didn't bother measuring either.. only interested in +6-inches this year  it has been drizzling the past hour and a half so I'm sure that has compacted the amounts too by now

wasn't expecting much out here anyway but that burst of heavy snow with huge flakes was nice while it lasted and good to have the snowpack freshen up again..

Yea this is easily the heaviest so far this storm.. huge flakes

Tale of two cities out west tonight with Chicago getting buried with LES while Cincinnati, forecast to have 8-12", got mostly sleet this afternoon and just recently switched to snow.

The Chicago vids on twitter are just insane, so jealous of those LES 

CPK: 1.3"

EWR: 2.4"

JFK: 2.2"

LGA: 1.2"

ISP: 1.8"

Laughable differences with the GFS from 06z to 12z today lol

Now showing potential ice storm for NYC east.. it's much better than what it was showing at 06z tho

It’s the snowiest part of the island. Once you head south of the LIE and east of the sagtikos amounts usually decrease 

That much is true.. won't be surprised if that's the case again on Tuesday with the rain/snow being depicted to run right thru the Island in the morning

I always breathe sigh of relief when my measurements match ISP. 6.5” here.

Lol. You said 5.5"   i measured ~6".   It's all the same to me.  

Yea every time there's a storm I always like to gauge how close I am just to see if I'm doing my measurements right.. guess I still have a few tenths to learn from the pros 

Wow just saw ISP reported 6.4" at 7pm...

Hmmmmmmmm

That's about what I got.  

Yea warm temps and poor snow growth at the start limited our potential.. but still a pretty good pack refresher!!

flurries winding down.. measured a final total of 5.5" here

I like these types of snow, dry powder and easy to clean  now let's see how long it'll take for Crookhaven to plow our neighborhood

High ratio snow on the Euro for Friday 

[snipped]

What'd it show for Tuesday??

About an inch here in holbrook don’t see me getting more than 3-4 lol

Yea same.. 1.5" at the top of the hour

Hoping we get into a good band to eke out 1-2" and I'd be good with that lol

drizzle and tiny flakes about 20mins ago have transitioned into a steady light snow now

WSW issued now for parts of OKX

550pm averaged around 11" OTG away from trees and the roof..

we've been mostly light snow again the past hour and a half.. looks like more light returns approaching from the south too
