  1. That actually backed up a bit further than it looked on radar before it pulled out. I got a pretty hardcore burst from about 11:30-12:15 and now the wind is howling out of the N as this thing moves out. The roads are like we got double (or more) the amount due to wind but even more so due to show fkn cold it is. It's gotta be 6" here but most measurements I was able to take are around 5 because of the wind.
  2. That was an absolute mess even on LI. I was working in Little Neck and had parked up the hill that morning because I could stick my Jeep in a snowbank and have easy parking. I had to crawl up the hill to get to it and when I touched it the slide began. I literally jumped in, started it and threw it in reverse to spin it. It finally bounced to a stop 5 feet from sliding into Northern Blvd traffic.
  3. I'm comfortable with calling it 5" but most measurements were closer to 4 with a wind beaten surface. Some of those bands have been really prolific producers, the wind changes to the E and the flakes get big for 5-10 minutes then the wind goes back to the north and the fractured flakes are back. 8° sux to shovel in but at least this super dense stuff isn't terribly heavy because it's so cold.
  4. 14°, not too windy and snowing hard. I'll take it.
  5. That curly line stops a few blocks south of my backyard Someone give it a little kick for me would ya 14° with moderate snow and light N wind between 6-10mph. Looks to be about 3" so far.
  6. Snowing nicely since about 8pm but due to poor snow growth it's accumulating very slowly.
  7. The pre snow pretty much just fizzled out, there's still random flakes drifting around. I can call it at just under .5. Nice day, now let's get this thing wound up, eh
  8. For years (decades) we'd be happy with 3-6 but after 25 years of frequent blockbusters this leads to meltdowns.
  9. It hasn't stopped snowing since about 10am, intensity has varied between very light and not quite moderate. There's close to a half inch on existing snow, .2-.3 on elevated surfaces and barely wet pavement although as soon as it got dark it started sticking on the pavement too. I saw temps between 31>34 while out this afternoon, it's 25-29 around town now. There's still no wind too speak of.
  10. It's been snowing all day now with almost nothing to show for it. Seems like a waste but it's nice to look at, I guess. That's what happens with super light rates at 32-34° with filtered sun. It is starting to coat the pavement now though. I dunno, I never expected more than 3-6 so all the chatter has been nothing more than entertainment, as usual.
  11. It really is beautiful snow falling now, big soft flakes drifting lazily with no wind. Nice...
  12. Here too, the pavement is wet but the snow is accumulating everywhere else. Good.
  13. I think there's something to that. Get the column saturated and prepped so when things start to happen it happens quickly. 28* with flurries starting here now and barely a hint of a WNW breeze.
  14. Hey @wdrag We are missing your wisdom. I hope all is well with you.
  15. Haha that would be great! No umm, it would be a hassle but FK! Almost 3 feet haha
  16. Take 90 to 87 rather than 390 and 17. Stay out of the hills and on the big roads.
  17. And it has that wavering around for a few hours. This is looking pretty interesting. Guess I should go get some gas for the generator huh.
  18. Wind and ice are the two things I don't really look forward to anymore. I don't need the problems or the danger.
  19. On snap! Is that an old subway or bridge token?
  20. I'm no good at math. I used to get my kids homework wrong when they were in second grade so the teacher told them to find someone else to help. I'm ok with it.
