21 on the ground but def more has fallen but compacting as it’s falling 

[doncat]

It's been snowing here now at varying rates since around 1pm Sunday...will be interesting to see how many more hours we can add to that.

[BxSnowWx37]

Using a average 12 to 1 ratio with the liquid equivalent would still equal 13 to 16 area wide,some places less,some places more. I think cpk has it right considering all the winds and lost le and compaction.

Smithtown, NY 14.6" storm total snowfall as of 7:30PM. 

Snow mixed with sleet shortly after 6pm.  Was mostly light sleet for a while, then went back to mostly snow when it got heavier and so forth.  All snow at the moment.

At 8:15pm: 30.9  S-

15" on the stake. 

Nice!! Snowing lightly here as well again.

Should hit 30", still a few hours to go. What's your temperature?

My Wx station died a while back and haven’t replaced it as of yet. I usually run a degree or two colder than Andover Aeroflex. What’s your total at? Radar finally showing some signs of weakening some. Still another 1-3, 2-4” thru tomorrow seems plausible.

[BlizzLuv]

Just cleared the driveway again. We are up to about 19 inches. Temp 30 so warming a bit.

Probably a combination of UHI and much of LI being farther north than Central Park.  Also sometimes with a cold high to the N or NE and the right wind direction, we might benefit from some colder air draining down the CT River valley.  Basically cold air damming.

If the mid level warming from the SE was more robust, or the boundary winds were more easterly,  NYC would likely have been a few degrees colder than LI.  Could still trend that way

Still 31 and snow here...this area is the cool spot for some reason, Wunderground confirms

[NJRunner]

up to 18 in ramsey

What town are you again?  Back to rimmed flakes here.  

Central Islip. 33 and nothing here now. I can already hear dripping.

10.2” as of a few minutes ago.

[ForestHillWx]

Added another 1.5” between 6:00 pm and current. Average measures about 25.5”. 

[weathermedic]

16 inches for the storm so far. 33 degrees with light snow/drizzle mix here now in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn.

same here...I love storms like this...the great storm of Feb. 1920 storm lasted 74 hours with a two hour break...4.43" of le...17.5" of everything...this one will probably fall short of that lenth but we'll get more snow with less le...

[Brian5671]

Still snowing moderately here.  BDR 15.2 earlier-8th place...probably will add a bit to that

Boston ouch, downgraded to an advisory because either snow that's not sticking or rain/snow mix. 

I feel for them.  They’ll make up for it though.  I hope we all get in on the action over the next few weeks!

[wdrag]

Wantage NJ, this part... 19.7" at 8tP. Still moderate to heavy small flake snow. Temp up to 29.3F. 

[wdrag]

I plan to do two day CoCRAHS snow maps tomorrow around 10A.  Have a night.  Walt

So pretty much a bust in Boston, Philly and DC but NYC is in the 15-20 range

[TriPol]

Will the coast snow again during this storm?

Philly has around 6” at last report 7pm and probably ends up at 7-8”. They didn’t make it to what was predicted exactly but I think they were expecting 8-10” so if that not bad. Boston was always very questionable but near the harbor might end up with only a few inches because of the blessing/curse easterly flow which today is a curse. West side of the city might get 8-10”. DC did bust I think but Miller B storms like this 95% of the time don’t produce there-they bomb out too far NE. 

[acoolerclimate]

I measured 16 inches here in Nutley. I'd love to get 4 more inches overnight through tomorrow to make it to 20. Photo taken about 5:30 pm.

DC did get some from the over running correct?   

[wdrag]

ABE 22.5 through 7P is ~# 6 two day snowfall.

33 in HPN and 31 here with snow, Okie doke

[sussexcountyobs]

Need 4.5" more to hit 30" tonight. 

I feel confident.

I can’t explain it. I’d say dynamics but that’s not even it with this storm 

[MJO812]

Nam has snow for NYC until 10pm tomorrow

Damn! How much accumulates there tomorrow?

The NAM has been consistent with that band of snow tomorrow. If it verifies that'd be a pretty awesome way to end this storm.

Ouch. Hopefully DC will get a better storm this year.
