the band this morning parked just west of the Hudson, which is what pushed Bergen County up over 2'. 19-21 appears fair for Manhattan into Queens/Brooklyn.
-
For those reflexively crapping on the CPK measurement, I just did another 20 minute walk in Riverside Park and it very much feels like a 17-19" storm.
-
-
Nice reporting. My purely experiential eyeballing of the snow during that time was 17-18”
-
Have not bothered to measure anywhere but this feels closer to Jan 31 2021 than 2016 for sure - high teens. But still at 1/4m vis. absolute stunner of a storm. Not much wind though here.
-
Haven't been outside yet, but based on the 15.1" at 7 AM and the radar and forecasts for this to go to 1 PM, we should be able to make it.
-
Regardless, we got 7” of that 10.5 in the first 5 hours after 0z.

Hey Ginx. Here’s the problem with the euro. Central Park got 7” between 0z and 5z (that has 10.5” total). It’s already badly off. Don’t know what that holds area wide, but I would toss it. -
Not really close. That’s ~ 10” in NYC after 7 PM tonight? Would be like 12” with what was on the ground then. The HRRR has been in the 18-20” range for the city for most of the day.
-
Man HRRR is insistent we make it to 20" here in the city.
-
I dunno. Supposedly Battery Park has 11" and I just measured 7"+ on the UWS.
-
Best measurement just now - about 7-7.5" Gorgeous out. Wind picking up.
-
Just measured 4” on a cartop on UWS Snow on trees by the streetlight = bright as daylight
-
I was out at 7 and thought we had about 1.5-1.75" OTG (but about 1" in the hour I was out), so they're on this so far.
-
Deteriorating quickly
-
And the roads are now suddenly snow-covered. LFG.
-
Sidewalks just started to get fully covered on the UWS after 7.5 hours of snow. I do fear for the trees in Riverside Park, which have been snowcovered for hours and are sitting in an absolute swamp.
-
I stop caring what the ceiling might have been once there is heavy snow flying and I'm outside in it. A good jebwalk cures everything.

Wait - was that a forecast and not an observation? Should I have put that in the other thread?
-
If the winds meet expectations I bet we will have lots of trees down in places like Riverside Park where the ground is a swamp and the snow has been sticking to the trees for hours (but not the ground).
-
After 5 hours of snow (all snow!) on the UWS it's starting to stick to car windshields. If you didn't have access to modern forecasting, today so far would be indistinguishable from a miserable March white rain event. Makes me think about the generations that preceded us (I mean native Americans and colonial settlers). Would they have known what's coming?
-
I went low on the KNYC/CPK forecast - 15.1" I think - largely because I think this will come in under the extreme projections but also because the heat island with this storm will be very real. We'll lose a lot of the early accumulation. People will bitch about NWS underreporting at Central Park, but the reality is the ground is warm and wet. I surveyed Riverside a short while ago and can’t find any place that won’t either lose accumulation to the warm wet ground or blowing.
-
been snowing on UWS for an hour + but not even sticking to cars yet.
