I got up to 32.3 a few hours ago, now 31.8.

After a short period of heavier snow, it has now turned to freezing rain, 30.2 degrees. 2 inches of snow  here.

After a brief lull, snowing here again.

It was a bogus record to begin with. Two consecutive days last February with 0.9 inches and they kept going on about how it hasn't snowed an inch for two years. Definitely a bad stretch but what's the difference 0.9 or 1 inch. The way they measure either day could have easily been more than an inch.

Yea I think it was kind of bogus also. I mean 1/10th of an inch. Also, everyone else in the area had over an inch

Just my opinion: I think in fairness to the ENTIRE community of met interests... I sure hope TWC did not get this snowfall first. This has to go out in a standard product that everyone can access (not FB or phone). I will stand corrected if someone can show me the product. Thanks, Walt

I have not seen any reports as of 7a.m. but TWC says it is official. We shall see. Apparently they have been adding the hourly updates in Central Park.

Central Park hit 1 inch since midnight, record ended.

it wasn’t a bust at all

 

Just a bunch of guys talking themselves into a frenzy on a 1-3 inch snowstorm

this was a perfectly modeled, perfectly forecasted, 1 to 3 inch snowstorm.

And as myself and several other posters tried to say yesterday, if you set your expectations for a light snowfall you were going to be happy. And if you set your expectations on a fabricated 6 inch snowfall, you weren’t going to be happy.

Yea I think when D.C. over acheived, many figured we would also. Central Park had .6 as of 2 A.M. If they don't go over an inch, something is wrong.

Between 1.5 and 2 inches here.

26.1 degrees here, so has a ways to go to turn into plain rain. Meanwhile coating on everything including roads.

Serious deathband. Over 6" already 

Just talked to someone in Rockville and they said more like 3 inches.

Looks like the D.C. area already around 3 inches for many and still snowing.

Light snow has started here.

If you go to Virginia 511 you can see live traffic cameras from the entire area of northern Virginia.

Peak gust now up to 43mph. Farmingdale 49mph in past hour. No advisories but probably should be.

Peak gust here last night 39mph. with 1.80 inch of rain. Peak gust today 40mph.

A 698 day snowless streak will do that to you.

Only in Central Park.

How do people say it is over. Do they have a crystal ball, there is still 2 months left in winter.

The line went thru with blinding rain, winds strong but my highest gust was before the line passed thru. 1.80 inches of rain so far and a peak gust of 45mph. Very nasty night but not quite as bad as I thought.

How are the winds behind the line? 

They seem to die down

Past hour Farmingdale 55mph, LaGuardia 49mph and Kennedy 54 mph.

Finally hit 40, peak gust now 45mph.

Jones Beach reporting sustained at 50 and gust to 65mph

Looks like the worst of the wind may come thru around low tide on the south shore of Long Island.

Looks like winds die right down after squall line passage.

Watertown gusting to 78 at 48 degrees

I guess that makes sense if you are talking Watertown upstate NY. They would be right between the approaching low and the retreating high. Big pressure gradient.
