Light snow has begun here in Metuchen!  Band looks thinner, so hoping for 1/2" out of it...

Edit - 1 min later and it's moderate - didn't expect that, lol...

Just took a quick walk - gorgeous out there with moderate (not quite heavy) snow and 1/4" down; guessing another 1/4" before this band ends - nice!

Queens. Should be ~2" at all 3 stations maybe less at JFK. Unfortunately this initial band is drying up as it approaches

Yeah this front end thump is looking unlikely. Snowgoose was mentioning how these setups usually backfill faster than modeled so hopefully there isn't much of a lull. But for the time being, not looking likely for that either.

You're far enough north to see mostly snow before the dry slot moves in. Should do well up there.

As a side note that doesn't really belong in an obs thread but, in a more general sense when forecasts are made it would be cool if a distinction was made based on east and west of the River. I know it's hard to forecast for microclimates.

The increase in winds associated with this frontogenetic band are interesting. EWR began gusting just as it arrived. Radar velocities indicate winds will die down again as the more intense snow ends.
