Roughly where in the BX are you located?
-
Heavy sleet is relentless. Picked up 0.5" of IP in the last hour.
-
Really hard to measure in the NW Bronx, but we are probably at 13"ish snow + sleet.
-
Looks like 50/50 Snow/IP in NW Bronx.
-
Foot + is a lock here. Expect to hold out on all snow until about 2:30ish.
-
At about 8.5" in the NW Bronx. Expecting another 3-4" before the transition and maybe 1-2" of IP afterwards.
-
Yeah - we will see it slow down, but it really depends on the precip enhancement with the coastal. Gun to head estimate is that it makes it to mid-Westchester with a battle between IP/SN after 2 PM for Manhattan to Tuckahoe.
-
It's largely rate dependent. If you look at those flipping to sleet in SNJ, it's correlated to a lull in precipitation. The coastal needs to get cranking in order to enhance precip to the city north to avoid the WAA taking hold. Really interesting to watch.
-
In NW Bronx now and I think we got hit with an early band that give us a 1-1.5" head start. I feel like I'm crazy compared to other reports in the city but i'm measuring 6.2 - 6.5" in at least 8 flat locations.
-
Yeah - we are getting rocked in Riverdale. Ratios are incredible. I would imagine 1 -2"/hour rates for the next 4-5 hours. 12-14" wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Work in renewables and can confirm that this is the case. The 2025 numbers are even more compelling. For example, the average cost of an energy storage system dropped about 27% in the past year due to technology improvements (and a reduction in EV demand, unfortunately). Currently, battery systems are competitive with LNG Peaker plans in MISO (Midwest) where fossils were heavy entrenched incumbents. The reality is that PV + BESS make so much sense. The technology pair has no long-term extraction costs, can be recycled, and of course, no long-term combustion impacts. BESS is also the "swiss army knife" of grid technology and can respond to grid disturbances in milliseconds. Peaker plants, or even nuclear, can't do that. The problem is adoption still isn't happening fast enough. This should have been 10 years ago.

Been several years since I've posted here, but between the recent trends in global temperature, and increased rate of growth in levels of CO2 measured, it's clear we are not in for a good 2030 - 2045 as a species. Mass migration that climate scientists predicted is already happening and clearly causing the geopolitical stresses. Amazing that the media has not acknowledged the truth of that prediction from nearly 20 years ago.

70 mph sustained 102 mph gust at KSRQ.

Two Mdt to high impact events NYC subforum; wknd Jan 6-7 Incl OBS, and mid week Jan 9-10 (incl OBS). Total water equiv by 00z/11 general 2", possibly 6" includes snow-ice mainly interior. RVR flood potential increases Jan 10 and beyond. Damaging wind.

All snow here in Riverdale (Bronx). Temperatures started a bit warm this morning, so i'm not expecting much stickage here outside of unpaved surfaces. Still 34/30.- 3,610 replies

- snow
- heavy rain

Certainly more of a northward turn at the moment on radar - this is pretty close to what's currently modeled on the high res models, which brings 110 mph + gusts to downtown New Orleans.
