Wife and walked across Manhattan (from the Hudson to 1st Ave). On our way back we were in Central Park and I noted how it suddenly felt warmer - muggy - because the wind had stopped. Then the east wind started cranking. Amazing. A back door front reminiscent of Boston in April. The CPK obs show it - wind was calm at the 16:51 reading and it was still 79.

Incredible, dense, shipwrecking fog on the Hudson.

As soon as I hear "kicker" I'm out.

Seems to be ending as a fine light snow. I’m guessing we pushed 3” here on UWS (saw the 2.8 at CPK which seems right for when it was reported). At least it’s not getting washed off the trees. -

Changed over to sleet on UWS at 9:45. I know because I went out for a short Jebwalk and was delighted to find it was still fluffy flakes. Within five minutes it was pinging on my hood. I measured 2.5” on benches before the change over.

I’m excited for manhole explosion season here.

Forgive me if someone covered this but at CPK 30.0 avg temp for January -2.1 against average (32.1) going back to 1869, making it the 53 coldest out of 157. -4 below average since 1990 (34). 8th coldest since 1990; only the following were colder: Also notable - out of that list, we move ahead of 2014 and 2015 when looking at high temperatures. (6th coldest avg high temp since 1990). We will slide a bit to finish the month, but yes, it's been cold.

I'm on the UWS, near the River, a little less susceptible to heat island, but more susceptible to any W wind and impact from the River. My tried and true method of sticking my fingers into the snow on benches and railings could not get me to 2".

Do you live in Manhattan? I’m about a mile from the CPK station and I couldn’t measure 2” last night anywhere. I would have guessed more like 1.8” but it’s not some criminal under measurement. Still enough to create a winter wonderland with the cold.
-
Sadly, i think the 1.6" is not far off for Manhattan. My eyeball measurements would be more like 1.75; I don't think we got to 2".
-
Not adding up to too much at this point - maybe 1.5 or a bit more? But a stunning night.
-
It was not forecast to get heavy until 6-9 here. Whether we get to 3-5 or not remains to be seen, but up where I am (the low 100s near the Hudson) all side streets are covered. It is sticking and accumulating quickly now.
-
Escalated quickly here on the UWS. All cross streets snow covered, even Riverside Drive (the main road). Not having trouble sticking now
