Look about 300 miles north and you have your issue. You want a big H there not L. Cold air comes in behind the storm as shown-from that we’d be dealing with the warm air coming in ahead of that Quebec low. There’s time for changes but not encouraging so far.

By that point I'm ready for warmth. What snow we get in late March is nice but gone in 2 days/less unless it's a monster.

It's ridiculous, and it's what's reported as how much snow NYC has. Maybe some private company should start doing measurements at the Park if the regular observer keeps screwing up, or choose an airport to have official NYC obs, probably LGA. More often than not it's snowier IMBY than the city but I supposedly have more than double that (which is BS).

You would think that so much convection there all the time would cool those waters down but I guess not.

Nasty squalls headed for the Forks.

This season gets a D from me so far, maybe D-. Since I’m at about half of average now it’s not a F but hard to put it any better when I’m still below 20”. Also very warm and we’re going back to the torch next week.

Heavy dippin’ dots shower a few minutes ago.

Yeah, as soon as the band stopped making headway north in SE PA and headed mostly due east I knew I wasn't getting in on it but happy for the places that got relatively ripped off in the last storm. My 3" roughly is what was expected so I can't complain. Models for a couple days were showing a northern fronto band somewhere and the N trend stopped just short for me. But with the dynamics at play like Bluewave showed it's no surprise it was as insane as it got, and we saw 8-10" amounts with it in Ohio in the same narrow area. But where there's the crazy lift next to it there's subsidence and there wasn't especially much moisture with the storm to catch up elsewhere. The snow here overnight was little dust flakes that shows how little lift there was. When the crazy band pivoted away and subsidence ended, I was able to start catching up a little with the hangback snows and bigger flakes. 15.5-16" on the season (there's part of one storm I missed here). Halfway roughly to average.

Still just a hair under 3", I'd say 2.8-2.9". Thankfully the street is wet and the existing snow looks good as new. Very little shoveling.

Assuming I end with 3" that gets me to 15.5-16" on the season. Maybe 20" can happen if there's another storm at end of month.

Have 3" new or a hair under on my deck. That's probably what I'll end with unless we get another good snow burst or two. Still light snow coming down-nice sized flakes vs the dust overnight. That'll help pile it up faster. Nice fluffy snow. I think Long Beach/Rockaways must have 8-9" at least.

Probably a different world on the south shore out to Jones Beach/Rockaways etc. Based on that Southern Queens, Nassau and Brooklyn might reach warning amounts. Still coming down there.

This'll likely be known for the 20 mile swath that kills it and everyone else around that gets skunked. This band stole all the dynamics. Models did hint at it. Guess we'll see what happens when this band goes east and we have this hangback snow. That's my one chance to make it to WWA criteria if this adds up somehow. These micro flakes ain't doing it. And an example of why ground temps alone have little to do with ratios. In the death band there are also huge dendrites that stack up because the lift is way better.

Maybe 0.5" on my table. Light tiny micro flakes. Guess it's better than total subsidence north of the band.

Band inching toward the south shore. Man it's gonna be close.

Was clear for quite some time this north fronto band would be nuts. If only today's north trend could've gotten it 30 miles NE. Philly's WSW is in the pooper though I think.

Light snow, colder surfaces and some paved are coated.

We should have light hangback snow until 8-9am or so, that's what'll eventually give areas north of this band their 1-3".

If you're in Oceanside you should get slammed. Yellows are almost to the beach. And to the west it is still edging north. Maybe it can eventually make it to the LIE.

I think at least Staten Island over to Long Beach/Jones Beach gets into it. If I was still in Long Beach it would be exciting, and awesome for them given how much the south shore skunk zone's been the last couple winters and in general. Up north of the LIE where I am... I doubt it but we'll see. Models all have some decent snow making it here later overnight and through good part of the AM so I'd think everyone gets a couple inches.

The lighter stuff north of Harrisburg should pivot through here and give us a couple inches maybe. But that fronto band was how we had a chance at more than that. It'll be a nailbiter for the south shore or if it stays just off the beach.

Staten Island to Long Beach might be rocking soon. Flurries here. We'll see what happens.

Harrisburg getting rocked. Trajectory on that band looks really good for over to around Elizabeth and the South Shore from there. Hoping for my backyard it can bump north a little more.

We’ll see what happens in PHL. Under a warning but downtown is still at 40 (it will cool quickly when snow starts) and short range models have most snow near Allentown and along I-78.

Some reports from Ohio up to 9” from the Pittsburgh thread. And still snowing (light) there.
