We won’t get a few inches here. As soon as this banding starts to let up the snow we have will melt unfortunately. But for now-awesome.
-
Holy wow it’s coming down. Grass is covered. If it keeps up pavement might even start to cave. Glad I left the office early as this started to pivot south.
-
Beginning to whiten here too but what a struggle it is to make that happen. Like huge pieces of paper falling from the sky.
-
We should be pivoting in these bands until 7-8pm or so, so many of us can get lucky and have some accums as the sun goes down. But frustrating for sure. If this was January this would be a 3-6” event where these bands are hitting.
-
A few hours later and couple of degrees cooler and this would be 1”/hr. So annoying.
-
Really coming down now and trying to stick to the grass. Huge flakes too, like pieces of paper.
-
Yup seriously. Good thing we have another coastal storm coming in 168 hrs that will inevitably fail.
-
Banding looks good coming down from CT. Frustrating that we can’t get anything to accumulate. Temp 33.
-
Snow picking up in intensity. Looks like it could be moderate with this banding coming down from CT. Whether anything sticks anywhere is another story.
-
Yeah, near 60” in Albany but decent chance NYC still faces futility after this. Utter epic fail. Windswept light snow here but nothing sticking with temps near 35.
-
If you mean average for the season, they may be a hair under but close. Average there is about 60” but they were at 42” going into this. They likely get at least a foot so that would get them to 54” and 18” would be 60”.

Light snow in Melville.
-
Looks like some banding starting to pivot down from CT.
-
Some flurries here in Melville. Unless these bands really produce later today this will be just white rain near/east of the city.
-
Odds/bingo board on what will mess that storm up?
-
Still nothing here, we’ll see what happens when the precip picks back up. I’m thinking/hoping we get an inch or two here but could easily be just white rain if it’s just light and showery stuff. Models do have a decent amount of banding reaching us this afternoon.
-
Depends how heavy/persistent these CCB remnant/bands get. NAM 3k gets the north shore down to around 33 as these bands pivot through, the city is stuck at 35-36. I doubt 35-36 would accumulate, but 33 might on the grass especially if it comes down moderate. How far SW these bands develop will really be a nowcast situation. I don't buy for a second the 4-5" amounts on the model, I think even where I am will be lucky to get more than an inch.
-
You can see the curling east of ACY from our middle finger low.
-
I would certainly hope so lol. Models clearly didn’t have a clue.
-
Gotcha, thanks.
-
It’s geographically way more clear cut here. In Sussex and Morris Counties it’s much more dependent on your elevation in terms of what you often get especially this time of year. So I don’t think you can geographically split the county but you can word the warnings accordingly. In CTP they often word advisories/warnings based on your elevation.
-
NWS isn't able to make a warning for anything other than those entire counties, so they have to use that in the language. But what would be more helpful would be to say "2 inches on valley floors and 8 inches on ridge tops".
-
Yep. These threats that inevitably fail are more rounds of nails screeching the chalkboard.
-
I’m very sorry to read this news, and my condolences Chris. Unfortunately I don’t have a room available to rent out either.
-
Would probably make us more sane not less with all these links to crap models and hallucinations. You take what the met tells you at 11pm and that’s it! I feel so deprived from when I was a kid and had to rely on what Nick Gregory said the models were doing at 10pm. Was like some drumroll until my hopes growing up on the south shore were dashed 90% of the time.
