NEXtreme Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Very heavy snow here in Bloomfield. White out at times as winds howl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRRTA22 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 With the blowing snow and heavy rates, this is close to dec. 2010, not there but it's close, visibility wise atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyblizz44 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Most intense of the night (Forest Hills)... I was just out in it and would estimate around 5", but it was very hard to measure... spectacular scene outside. One memorable storm. Its stunning. I just went out Kew Gardens, by you, and this must be what Buffalo is like during an intense squall. maybe 100 ft visibility if that & SN+ and it is sharply colder since start of storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Guys/girls. No reason to close NYC schools tomorrow. The roads will be almost perfect tomorrow. Remember its just snow....and its not a major snow 30-40 years ago the city would never close for a storm like this, we've turned into wimps these days or just people looking for a cheap day off...the February 94 storm on Friday the city schools were open and people went nuts over it and ever since that day they've been much more trigger happy to close.

danstorm Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Wind is really picking up here now, not sure how it is elsewhere and away from the shore but I'd say we're in blizzard conditions right now. Snow is blowing around like crazy, and the falling snow is I'd say high end moderate. The wind here is howling, sustained winds probably a bit shy of official blizzard conditions, but 40 MPH gusts, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisb Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Is there a reason why those bands aren't hitting the south shore of nassau, specifically the border of nassau and suffolk? Seems as if its disbanding? Been lurking a long time, a new guy at this so sorry if its a stupid question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LnbWx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 This is one worth staying up until the finish for. If there's a perfect picture and definition of winter right now, it's right here and now. I'm planning to. Off work tomorrow. Will be up until morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 There's just so much blowing snow outside right now it's basically impossible to measure. I probably have around 6 inches. I'll try to find a couple flat spots later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Guys/girls. No reason to close NYC schools tomorrow. The roads will be almost perfect tomorrow. Remember its just snow....and its not a major snow Troll. How often does snow accumulate nearly 100% on the very busy streets of Manhattan and the rest of NYC? Look at the footage of completely snow covered streets there and realize how unusual that is and realize that that snow isn't going to melt much tomorrow when the sun comes up, even with salt. It's pretty rare to get 6"+ snow in NYC (could get as much as 8-10" still) with temps falling into the single digits and with subzero wind chills. Certainly more than enough reasons to close the schools, which will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odwalla Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I would guess we have about 5-6" in the FiDi; drifting very apparent. Just walked along the river and some spots are bare, some have two feet -- and Jersey is invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 LGA at 5, EWR at 6, JFK still at 4 as of 3am...remember that can mean anything from 4.5-5.4, 5.5-6.4, and 3.5-4.4 respectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of the March 8, 2005 storm which was a brief hit for us on its way to walloping NNE and Quebec, but in the few hours it was here the conditions were very intense: 1-2" snow per hour and howling wind. Temps also plummeted into the upper teens in a couple of hours from above freezing. Very similar conditions here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking70 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm planning to. Off work tomorrow. Will be up until morning. I am too. Just starting my Chili so I can have a hearty meal after shoveling snow tomorrow in the frigid temperatures. 5.5 degrees here and 4 inches. I have been most amazed by the temperatures. Snow has been light to moderate all night but the temp dropping has been amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailstorm Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Mod Snow w/ a temp of 9f 6.4" on the ground. Very little wind here so its easy to measure. So rare for southern Brooklyn and your location to have temps so close to one another. Somehow, you're 20 degrees colder than Brooklyn during almost every storm. But, It's 11 degrees now where I am.

SnowGoose69 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Jfk has been at 4 for hours lol The amazing thing is you look back at most of the snow events from the 70s-90s and JFK almost always reported less than LGA...they had about 6 less than LGA in the 83 storm, makes you wonder if their measuring spot is and has always been in a bad place.
