Who stole the Don's snow?

I guess they didn't get his blessing 

Lost power here. Now I can hear the limbs breaking.

What's your total so far?

I just added another 2" so I,m at 12". Lights flickering here. Still coming down at a good clip. Great band I'm under here, also when the sun went down the snow really started to accumulate.

Added another 3.75 in the last 1 1/2 hrs. This band is still dumping snow.

Ah, yes, that must be that common core math I’ve heard about. 

No, it's the measuring Methods you instilled in us. We don't want to be put in time out.

6.253333333 OTG.  Intensity picking back up under another band.

Point and click forecast has 10-16 for this afternoon and another 3-7 for tonight.

First major band is here a little earlier than I expected. Vis down to about 1/10th of a mile, heaviest snow I've seen at home all year. Heading out to enjoy it!

Ripping here too. Roads are snow covered.

The position of the system right now looks consistent with getting the intense forcing overhead for most of us, but like we've said for days, it all depends on the trajectory of the low as it interacts with the upper trough. The HRRR has it jumping barely north of east within a few hours, so that would really limit the northwestward extend of banding. I would say that we all likely get under that primary fronto band for a time. The problem is that it'll be transient on account of the ENE tug, so I wouldn't bet on more than a few hours of rippage west of the Taconic. Somewhere like HPN is going to be under the pivot, and that's where I suspect the 12+ totals will be most common. Should be fun to watch...

Has per the latest radar loops, it appears to be forming well and moving north along the nj coast.

Approaching 5" here as well. All of Orange county upgraded to 15-20" Hopefully we can get the real serious banding up here before the pivot

Hearing reports of thundersnow down in the NYC area in the obs thread.

It's an elongated trough-like thing right now, so it's sort of subjective to pinpoint where the low is. The circulation is a little offset to the west of the lowest pressures, like you say. The big band is still surging north... I think it'll make it here.

As it stands, every twig and pine needle is already caked in snow. If we do get into double digit totals, it'll probably be another few very cold and dark days in the neighborhood.

Agree, and if we do get into those heavy snow rates, it will put some trees and limbs in stress.

Radar looks fine to me. This thing is bombing out (just check out the gravity waves and rapidly cooling cloud tops on IR sat) and there's hasn't been a model in days that had meaningful snow from the coastal low starting before 1 pm. SPC mesoanalysis has a closed 700mb isohypse well inland over southern NJ. Stay the course.

On the vis loop it appears to be closer to the number coast that the pressure drops are showing

Grew up in VC, live on the border of nyack and vc now. Will hopefully move back to vc shortly. 

Nice town VC.

Getting a little tired of the showery, on and off nature of the snow.  It is past noon.  I barely have anything.  12-18?  Don't make me laugh 

Picking up in intensity here, but not enough to accumulate on roadways.

I’m guessing there’s no lobster bisque at Walgreens?

 I mentioned the bisque...

Maybe canned.

Rockland's food scene has made huge strides the last 5 years or so. Im partial to nyack since its my neighborhood lol

The Hilltop was a great place a few years back. Nyack has a few good places.

Speaking of our favorite namer of bridges, I see a travel advisory is in effect on the freeways. Any idea what that means? Will I get sent to the Gulag if I try to use 84 later?

I would think they would have to close it down first.

He knows. Hes just a jerk. Lol

 

btw the 76 house in tappan has the best brunch in the area. Wish i had discovered it years ago.

Worked there years ago, life volly member in the firehouse across the street from there.

Tappan, that’s close to the Cuomo Bridge, correct?  

About 5 miles south.

12z HRDPS still quite generous for the area. 12"+

6" will go down as low, though I do tend to agree with your tempered expectations. The axis of precip has already materialized over DE and NJ, and it's pivoting northward... just have to watch where that goes from here. 8-12" still looks good for up here.

Wow, huge numbers... unfortunately the NWS getting gung-ho right as things start cranking is usually the KOD, lol.

Let's see if it comes up to the north and west a little more before it kicks out to the northeast. 20 miles could make a huge difference.

Melting on most surfaces 

Same here, about 1.5 on grassy surfaces. Roads are all clear.

We have a few posters that should spend time in a certain group of buildings on old orangeburg road in orangeburg. 

Grew up in Tappan, I know of those buildings. Some posters defiantly quality.
