Picking up again in Elmhurst

It's beautiful outside!

Winds are ripping now

Lightning detected in Canarsie https://www.lightningmaps.org/#m=oss;t=3;s=0;o=0;b=0.00;ts=0;z=11;y=40.6788;x=-73.8127;d=2;dl=2;dc=0;

Just got back from my walk by Queens Center Mall. Will drop some pictures later if any came out well. Amazing out there! The winds have really picked up in the last 20 minutes. Heavy snow, at least 4-6" on the ground.

Holy EAS, batman!

Mod/Heavy Snow now! Aiming to head out with my camera around 10PM

Down to 32.7 per mesonet

Down to 33. Snow starting to stick to dirt.

Bigger flakes mixing in now

I guess people memory-holed Cuomo banning travel during 2016's Blizzard.

Travel ban in NYC 9PM to Noon tomorrow.

Mamdani Presser at 12 if anyone is interested:

First flakes in Elmhurst!

Seeing this, I'm not concerned yet.

Inside baseball: NYC will be closing schools. No remote day.

Travel ban shouldn't be far behind now.
