99.5% wet here. No huge torch overnight though. Ground is still frozen despite 1.12" rain. Occluded lows tend to keep the really warm stuff aloft.
-
Do they even know how to handle synoptic snow?
-
Mixing now at 33.2°. No surprises, but sometimes its better to be wrong. I had an arbitrary cutoff of 34° for when the changeover would occur, which would probably have given us another half hour of snow. Still flipping to more snow at times, but just a curiosity now.
-
It may turn to rain before the CC shows it. All the warming above freezing so far is in the lowest levels. Which means this snow, which has quickly coated the street, is going to be over real soon. Just a hair under 33° now.
-
The precip type charts showed rain here, but the 3k NAM forecast soundings definitely looked like a start as snow. Not sure about Yonkers, but I assume similar there albeit a wee bit snowier.
-
Light snow commenced at 7:38PM in N. Smithtown. Temp 32°

Hanging on to 31 here for the moment. If you are lucky enough to be close to freezing when the precip starts on LI, it will be snow. There is no warm nose of consequence for us as the first layer to go above freezing will be right at the surface and that will then proceed higher into the atmosphere (assuming the 3k NAM soundings are correct). Rest assured it will torch, but no sleet here based on the above; just a little snow to rain.

Wow, haven't seen updated snowfall since early morning, but Greenville. SC is showing 1.42" of precipitation with only snow showing on the hourly reports: https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KGSP.html This might be a top 3 for them.
-
Hard to tell for sure, but that has a decidedly sleety look to it
-
Also 25 in Smithtown. Low temperature this am was 10° Saturdays low was 9° (8.8) Am I the only one who is missing OKX Nexrad that has been out since Friday?
-
The 3k NAM forecast soundings for the past few runs have been showing the boundary layer this afternoon saturated up to about 900 mb with very dry air above that. I was going to post yesterday about light snow/snizzle/freezing drizzle on LI in advance of the synoptic precip, but I didn't think it would happen in NYC.

February 1, 2011 was a big disappointment, but it did overall add to the snowpack. We had an inch of snow and a bunch of freezing rain and I think some plain rain but when it was over, there was a lot of ice to scrape off the driveway and the SWE of the snowpack had increased. My records show a high temp of 33° on the 1st and 36° on the 2nd. Snow depth on Feb 1 was 22", but decreased to 21" on Feb 2. As for 2/13/14. If I'd endured that on the south shore it would have been the impetus to move. Great storm up here! There was more going on that day though. Later in the storm we had freezing rain while there was plain rain in Orange County. Some posters there didn't believe it, but it was what it was. Never figured out what magic that was because it was only the north shore in the western half of Suffolk, but the net effect was sweet.

In 93-94 I lived in Babylon and was commuting to Port Washington. It was frustrating seeing the difference every day. My oldest was born that January and on the day we brought him home from the hospital, there was 3" of snow in Manhasset and it rained at home. February made up for it a little, but so much sleet. 95-96 was my first winter here and I've never looked back, although haven't come within 2 feet of that winter's 95"
-
Barely 5 o'clock and pickled already
-
Not sure why that always comes up for February 2014. It was great here (2/13-14/2014). I think that was a storm where the south shore didn't fare as well, but a huge dump of snow here ~15" followed by a little freezing rain.
-
I could settle for a slop fest on this one if it leaves us with a frozen covering, but that might be too much to ask for. Would prefer some kind of snowcover/base while waiting for the next potential heart breaker.
-
Depends on the species, but a good snowpack actually keeps the ground warmer ... Plus what Justin said.
-
Sub zero without snow cover bad for plumbing, good for slowing the spread of invasive species.
-
This. Less downsloping and when the lakes are wide open, less influence from them.
-
Definitely overblown. I usually think about great lakes temperatures as impacting snow belt areas, but it mattered here. A friend in Tupper Lake told me they were -17 this am and barely got to 0 today. Not record cold, but definitely less modified there. 12 here now.

Let's ask the magic 8 ball

Nice. I've got Maine and Vermont left (19 peaks)

Have you done the 3500?
