FYI, Tropical Tidbits now posts the ECMWF's AI forecasts. It's 3/15 map screams "Beware of the Ides of March!" It's posted here for purposes of illustration only.

6Z run of the same model:

Nobody wants snow after march 1. Time for baseball, beach and boating. LFG

I'm fine with it.  Once the sun is out the following day it melts quickly.  To each their own.

58 for the high at both my stations

Beautiful morning. 53 and sunny 

Crazy temp gradient along the coast.  40 at Sagamore Yacht Club and it's 52/53 at my stations, 4-5 miles inland from Yacht Club.

I don’t know about anybody else but for this non-winter, there’s not a tree or shrub or fence on my property that has not been damaged by the heavy wet snow that froze over on several occasions. Very messy as I assess spring clean up

No issues with my hemlocks or green giant arborvitaes thankfully, they did well with heavy wet snow.  Happy I replaced the old bushes years ago with the arborvitaes when I redid the yard, they would have certainly snapped under the weight.  Lots of limbs down from pine trees around the area though.

@uofmiamihowd you make out? Assume 2 or less. I’m up at windham for the wknd we got about 1 here still snowing lightly 

Going to finish with 2.7” for this storm it appears. Not a bad refresh of the snowpack.  Enjoy Windham!

2.4” in Syosset at 8:30 @Kaner587

Light snow in Syosset currently, temp of 30.

Still wild they are 8 degrees warmer with cloudy skies. Not exactly radiating out here either. 

I'm 29 in Syosset & 28 in Muttontown.

City is still 40 degrees. Remarkable really 

Central Park is 38 at 8pm.  EWR was the only 40 at 8pm

Wagons north??

Prime snow season ends around here the middle of next week. After that sun angle becomes a growing problem for anything that falls during the day. Heck, it was even somewhat of an issue yesterday in the immediate costal plain and the city.

Sun angle isn't an issue until March 15th or so down on LI.  If the rates are good with cold temps snow accumulates on the roads during the day before then.  After March 15th it becomes much harder to snow cover roads during the daytime.

I wonder what the elevation is in this area?  Northern location plus some elevation definitely plays a role in marginal setups plus there's sound enhancement too.

My Muttontown station is at 154 feet & Syosset is at 230 feet in elevation.  3 miles apart.

I think we had that 5” slop fest last year? 
 

up to 13” on the season here, almost halfway to average. A few event this seek could get us to 15”. Not terrible 

You may be correct. Such a slop event I didn’t even put it to memory.

Woke up at 3am and already had a coating. Knew we were in for 6+ after that. Seriously doubted it when I went to bed 

1am sleet was falling on my roof while heading to bed & at 4am saw on camera wife’s car was white. Knew things were on track for 4-8”. Happy we finally got a storm to produce, it has been over 2 years I think.

Snow on paved surfaces is down to like 3”. Probably melting from below. 

Yeah when I went to shovel/snowblow the snow after it ended, the blacktop was down to 4-5” already.

I got this storm all wrong. Definitely one of the most challenging storms I’ve ever seen since I’ve been a weather hobbyist. Never seen the models this bad, this close in. But I’m more than happy to admit I was wrong. Hope everyone enjoyed the snow. It was impressive and really a big surprise is what has been a complete dud of a winter until today….

We can all admit failure. This storm was definitely challenging to forecast. I also couldn’t help but weenie you, it was well deserved. 

Syosset storm total 7.5”. I’ll submit report to OKX as well. @Kaner587what’s your final measurement? 

Heavy snow to light snow as back edge is approaching. I’ll take a final measurement on the board shortly. Probably finish just under 8” is my guess 

Syosset 12pm 6.7” total. 0.5” fell in last hour. 

6.2” at 11am in Syosset. 0.9” fell in last hour.

Syosset 10am measurement 5.3” total. Received 1.5” in one hour between measurements.  @Kaner587

Where's noSnowman19? In a drift?

Suppression got to him.  Or may sun angle melted him away.....

I got 4.25 about 20 mins ago. Been banging at 1.5-2in/h since 730

I had 3.8” at 9, matches the intensity rate with your measurement.
