Disagree. I walked all over the park and it was a 8-9” storm.

That was my estimate based on walking in it for 90 minutes before I even saw the official measurement a little while ago.

It was more like 10.3 in NYC in the park but as usual the NWS dropped the ball and decided to just throw out a bogus low number just so it would look like they actually measured. It happens all the time and people just accept it as gospel.

What a storm. Wish I were there. 8.3” here in NYC in the park. No complaints.

Picture time

Cab at the bottom of this hill was stuck

Just did a glorious 3 mile Jebwalk through Central Park. Probably approaching 8" on the ground. Go out and appreciate whatever snow you got.

From about 9 AM. Riverside Park

Looking across the Hudson. Henry Hudson moving fine

nice wind tunnel 

Just in from a Jebwalk. Probably 5-6” of champagne powder OTG in Riverside Park. Est .5 visibility. Pics shortly

I just put my contacts in and visibility is better than I thought 

Better bands are stopping at the east river.

C’mon… c’mon… come to daddy…

animation was too big to post, but better returns are just backing into Manhattan now.

Morning from the UWS. As well modeled, the better band backs up to queens and stops. Nevertheless, still appears to be about 1/2m vis in small flakes. Looks lovely out

Harvey: "This is a classic, this is a classic .... even in Worcester I can see 18-24."

At his age and experience, Harvey just has no f*cks left to give. 

Where do I order the RAP? Does it come Prime next day?

I decided to ignore the 12z models after the NAM. Just went out for a glorious run in Central Park in the light snow. grass and bridle paths covered in snow.  Geese gathering on the ice, on the lookout for the Bald Eagle hanging out at the Reservoir. Reset me. We'll get the snow we get. 

heartbreaker (if you were hoping for continued westward trend)

West trend stopped. This won't be nearly as good for NYC.

It seems irrational, but I feel like we are either going to get about 8" or 28" here in the city.

I haven’t been able to shake the feeling for the last three days that we weee not out of it. Too few times the bullseye D4 is the final solution… too many times the bands set up NW. we shall see …

Yes w/ratios, but that salmon color is 2 ft and it's brushing up along the outer edges of queens. Just about the width of a boro from 2ft of snow in central park on that NAM run.

It's funny how there are certain locales that are always on the line on these maps no matter what kind of storm it is. Temp, trajectory, QPF... never matters. Always on the line. My place in MD is like that. I am frequently on 1, 2, or even 3 different Iines on DT maps. LOL

He seems uniquely skilled at drawing cutoff lines through major cities/reporting stations in such a way that it both confuses and... raises verification scores.

I think the death band is going to be between me and ORH.

i.e. 495 belt. That warms my heart and pains me. I grew up in Acton and spent the 10 years before I left for college just hoping to sniff out 6-8" events. Did not have a single snow day in HS over 4 years.

A Hecs / Mecs  is off the table but a nice secs is still on. What's wrong with that ?

We're all chasing the white whale up until the time the snow starts falling. That's who we are. But once that happens, close the laptop, go outside and enjoy what falls.

Back and to the left?
