    This’ll be a stat padder near the coast, I don’t expect any of what falls to stay unless you’re well NW and have a period of sleet/ZR instead. If I get 3” I’ll have 20” for the season. So there’s that.

    I'm just hoping we don't get this firehose of S/W's that act as a kicker, destructive interference or confluence to suppress it south. That's what ruined it in Jan but in a fast Pacific pattern like this it becomes a lot more likely. If this storm has some space to itself w/o interference it can round the corner.

    Hoping we can get a 2-4” initial thump on the N Shore. We usually have some time before onshore winds kill any of our chances. S Shore will be tougher, hard for me to see more than 1-2” there unless it comes in like a wall as it did on Sat.

    Mixed snow/sleet/dippin' dots. Accumulating a little on colder surfaces.

    Flurries here.

    We did okay with the SWFE on LI on Sat because the precip came in heavy and held off the warm air aloft. That's really the key with those that don't track/transfer in a bad spot. The significant majority have some problem which make them better north of here or precip that comes in shredded up, so the warm air can advance easier.

    Up to 17" in Huntington Station after last night. Maybe a bit more but I measured this AM a few hours after the snow stopped.

    It’s certainly nice now, can’t complain with a half foot on the ground. And the cold has been impressive vs what we’ve been used to. But we used to be able to get a KU or two when the cold had been around which we don’t this year, we get these smaller events due to how chaotic the pattern is or certain features in the wrong place. So at this point the winter gets an average grade for the cold but we’re still likely to end below to well below average for snow. I guess this would be a warmer version of most 1980s winters.

    ?? I thought it would be a drier snow since we were on the N edge.
  10. jm1220
    Definitely a nice picturesque snow. Wasn’t really expecting that but temps near 30 made it happen.
  11. jm1220
    No, Huntington Station.

    Just over 2” new. Season total 17” or a bit over.
  13. jm1220
    1.5". Steady light snow but still small sand flakes. We still have a few hours left hopefully so maybe we make it to 3". Radar does look good back into E PA.
  14. jm1220
    GGEM has a half decent front-end snow on Sat as well especially I-78 on north.
  15. jm1220
    Yep, snowing decently but 1/2" per hour maybe and flakes are small. I'm hopeful we break 2" and snow on snow is always nice. The radar in SE PA looks decent if that can head NE to here.

    Based on this it makes sense the band is where it is. The strongest 700mb fronto is in S CT and LHV. The band is usually around or just N of there.
  17. jm1220
    It's the 700mb fronto band that very often develops in these storms. Someone up there might end up with a few inches.
  18. jm1220
    0.9" now, snowing at decent clip. For those bellyaching about the Nam, the best banding looks north of me if anything.
  19. jm1220
    And if there's snow falling in the LHV it will be wrong since it had zero there.
  20. jm1220
    If you look at the radar over E PA there is snow starting up over the Poconos down to I-78. It won't be heavy but it's headed ENE and should clip most of the LHV.
  21. jm1220
    Snow firing up in E PA. We'll have to watch to see if it congeals into a heavier snow band or stays light, and how far N it expands. Most models at least have some getting into the lower Hudson Valley. If we have snow in NYC/I-80/LI until 8 or 9z, or until 3am we can still have a couple or few inches.
  22. jm1220
    Yep, nice big flakes. Almost 0.5" here.
  23. jm1220
    Good coating here, light snow.
  24. jm1220
    Can we keep it on topic? There’s a banter thread for other things. Hoping for a positive bust, outside chance at 3-4” if that northern fronto band develops with Atlantic inflow.
  25. jm1220
    There’s often a heavy snow band that develops on the north side of these in the 700mb fronto max zone, and usually has high ratios. NAM still looks the most impressive in developing that frontogenesis zone and moving it across NYC/LI.
