Meanwhile....that band of snow over eastern PA looks pretty healthy and appears to be heading to NYC

Nice article that explains why thunder sounds louder and travels further/lasts longer in colder temperatures: https://weather.com/science/weather-explainers/news/2019-02-21-cold-thunderstorms-winter-temperature-inversion-thunder

Can see the storms in NJ on radar

From OKX AFD: Fcst models show a developing axis of elevated instability with MUCAPE up to 500 J/kg moving across the NYC metro area and Long Island this afternoon, right on the back edge of the rain shield, and have added isolated thunder to the forecast for those areas.

Measured .75 total with both .25 with the first wave and .50 from the second. Wind gusted to 29 mph with the first wave and 25 with the second.

Streets now covered too.

Another nice burst of moderate snow here in southern Brooklyn Edit: make that heavy snow and gusty winds

In Mineola. Temp dropped from 34 to 30 as the snow got heavy

If that line holds together it will hit nyc right around the beginning of rush hour. I bet there aren’t any salt trucks out.

1.20 inches of plain rain at my station in Sheepshead Bay. Over 6.5 inches for the month so far.

I’m driving on West St by the Freedom Tower. Some big (but very thin) pieces of ice falling down from the tower to the ground.

WWA expanded to include Long Island and southern Queens. JFK temp is 32.

2.4 inches so far here in Sheepshead Bay.

Seems like wind advisories will be needed on Sunday. Gusts up to 40 mph being forecasted.

WWA up for NYC, LI, nearby NJ, Westchester and CT

Up to 1.58 now

Approaching 1.30 inches here at my station in Sheepshead Bay.

With temps progged to fall below freezing, a rain to snow transition and precipitation continuing to fall, I think a major problem will be any untreated road surfaces freezing up eventually as the morning progresses.

Feb 78 still gets my vote. I was a kid but remember it well. The huge drifts that were everywhere was amazing. One side of the street had asphalt showing while the other was buried under drifts. Dec 2010 came close with the drifting.

Anyone in these areas can confirm the heavy snow?

Drizzle, very light rain here in Inwood extreme southwest corner of Nassau County.

NYC OEM just put out an advisory for intermittent wind gusts of 40 mph.

Sleet mixing in with the rain here in Sheepshead Bay

Also had some decent coastal flooding if I remember correctly.
