Snowing lightly in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn  (also reported @ JFK 1am)

[MJO812]

Light snow here

[BxWeatherwatcher]

Snow will overspread the area and increase in coverage,def not modeled on any global. But there is some waa in the area also which is prob the reason for snow.

If only the low went south of the NYC area instead of north.

Just missed out on this one,although it is actually a tick south then the rest of the models had it by this time.

I think we all see a change to snow at the end but no accumulations in the city.

Both the HRRR & RAP have the tongue of WAA north of where it currently is.

Ill take this light snow as a bonus,yesterday i woke up to a nice coating on all surfaces minus roads and sidewaks here in the northern bronx..

[BxWeatherwatcher]

things look really juicy west of us,and racing towards the coast. some of those heavy cells might actually bring snow in to n.y.c later on before a changeover to rain.obviously the axis of heavier precip is farther south then modeled presently so let's see how interesting it gets here in the city esp northern manhattan and the bronx.

4 30 ,,Rockland County and not a flake,,,,,,,yet ?

 dry air chewing it up,but heavier moisture should be moving in shortly.also the low is south and moving ese instead of ene.the blocking is quite strong right now and i don't think most models have this thing right...

Thanks for the insight,,,,I'm watching the radar as well

[BxWeatherwatcher]

now we see why everything is trending south,look at the low developing along ack??.the blocking is shunting everything ese right now.some would say that n.y.c might be in a good spot here as it pulls away with this setup really not budging the cold air.also heavy snow might be incoming in a few mins here in the city before the rain then back to heavy snow before it ends in my opinion.

[BxWeatherwatcher]

interesting gradient in the city right now.coney island is 42/31f,the bronx by my area is 34/22.moderate precip on our doorstep.

[BxWeatherwatcher]

big fat flakes now falling here in the bronx.heavy cell overhead currently on radar.

[UlsterCountySnowZ]

4.1" so far, hopefully I can make 5 before this wraps up so I can make a foot for season total lol

[bluewave]

Only the third April since 1995 that NYC will make it down into the 20's.

 

Aprils since 1995 with below 30 lows in NYC:

 

2004...29

1997...28

1995...23

yeah you guys deserve it.it's snowing currently here in the bx.mood flakes more then anything, although 2 mornings of falling snow in april is quite rare.

[Drz1111]

Snow mixing in uptown Manhattan.

[BxWeatherwatcher]

wicked squall line developing west of n.y.c on radar.everything went from mix to all snow with that line of storms.

Old man winter is laughing in the face of spring as the cold reloads for next weekend

with a nice Greenland block setting up. The extremes continue this year as we are

talking about 20's in April this week when NYC couldn't even drop below freezing

in December.

That has a wicked look.

Snowing in Livingston as we get ready to leave for the Yankee game

The raging +PDO and record -EPO drop for this time of year set the whole process off.

Now the PV diving SE next weekend will pump the block near Greenland and reinforce the

high latitude blocking pattern. 

 

All that warm water off the West Coast continues to make the weather headlines

since the Summer of 2013.
