That's actually an incredibly heavy band…I'm right in it in southern Westchester. We've been sowing 2-3"/hr for a while. I'm all snow, and I'd guess I have close to 10". Getting absolutely crushed here.

Wow, you sound like you're in the Poconos haha.  Are you serious- 10"? Maybe some of that made it into the Bronx.....

Oh well.  Sad to think just 24 hours ago the only debate was whether to use 10:1 or 15:1 ratios due to expected winds.  Regardless, this wind-driven sleet storm is so intense I don't think the public will view this as a true bust. It's clearly a big, nasty storm.  There won't be the same recriminations as there were in January 2015 or March 2001.  At least, there was a storm and dangerous travel conditions. 

This storm reminds me a lot of Valentine's Day 2007, I hear a lot of the main roads in PA are shut down just like they were back then, PennDOT's handling of that storm was a travesty, as highways turned into parking lots.  And Burlington VT is under a blizzard warning for the first time since that storm.

I had 6.5" before the initial changeover, and then it started snowing 2-3"/hr since we got rid of the sleet. It's too bad there was a secondary warm push, that's really going to cut down on totals.

So you went from heavy snow, to sleet, and then back to heavy snow, and now back to sleet?

Yes... w/ the 11" currently otg im at 62" 

lol for a sec I thought you said you had 62" on the ground!

When I got here to PA last night, there was like 7" on the ground already- presumably from the Friday system.  Lots of drifts too.  A completely different world.
