It’s either 0 or 30 in today’s climate 

its always been like that with snowfall...I was reading about a blizzard in Feb 1934 that gave NYC 9" but Long Island got at least twice as much...sort of like Jan 2015...a few others were like that but I don't remember what years it was...

New York City received 7.6”. Bridgeport picked up 25.5”.

I think in the end the models will end a little too bullish east of the city (certainly not SW CT though, it really came together there). The dryslot came in fast again like Dec because of the less than ideal 700mb track. Even this morning they mostly had 16-20" here and although there's an outside chance over the next day we make it to the low end of this but 13-14" is probably what I have. Still a great event regardless. 

I think there was a GFS v16 run yesterday that showed the distribution particularly well with the huge max over E PA, S NY and NJ where the 700 low would allow the best pivot which looks like it'll verify very well. 

funny that people were worried about sleet and/or rain and it only happened for a miniscule amount of time (like under 30 min if even that), it was the dry slot that made the difference.

A snow plow was stuck on my street this morning and the guy had to dig himself out manually with a shovel lol, the last time I saw that was in Jan 1996.

They did okay, NBC made two incorrect tweets which confused everyone.  Central Park used to always report at 4 or 430 for the climate report in addition to at 7am, 1pm, 7pm, 12am.  I believe starting 2 winters ago they stopped reporting at midnight on some occasions and at 430 on all days for some reason

they dont report every 6 hours? (7 am, 1 pm, 7 pm, 1 am)....that's what they should be doing.

and also right when a changeover happens or the storm ends.

They had to get rid of the reliance on Flash.  It looks like they tried to add a lot of features.  Not the first project to be totally ruined by gold plating it :(  Project Management 101 fail!

 

I blame this on Adobe, they should allow people to use it whether they support the software anymore or not.

About a half inch so far from the current snow shower.  30F (Smithtown)

I was out and about and the roads are snow covered and slippery.  I was suprised how eager the anti-lock brakes were to engage and I was babying them. 

Lesson is...the ground was frozen before; 12 hours at 33 or 34 isn't going to keep things liquid on the roads once the sun goes down.

got about an inch here from the late afternoon and evening snow, the roads were covered here again

how is such a difference even possible, Don?

The storm rapidly developed along an Arctic front. Its heaviest snows fell north and east of New York City. Bridgeport likely experienced a localized heavy band within an area of heavy snowfall. Some additional accumulations:

New Jersey: Layton (3 NW) in Sussex County: 4.5”; New Brunswick: 10.0”; Newark: 7.5”

New York City: 7.6” (Mount Vernon just to the north and east of the City: 11.0”)

East of NYC:

Connecticut: Bridgeport: 25.5”; Waterbury: 18.0”

Long Island: Farmingdale (2 NE): 14.0”; Setauket: 18.1”

Much more recently, one saw a roughly similar difference over a somewhat shorter distance: The January 26-28, 2015 storm brought 9.8” to NYC and 6.5” to Newark. Islip received 24.9”.

1.6" new here since last evening.

This storm is the Energizer Bunny; snow intensity is increasing again.

16.5" total since Sunday.  13" at the stake.

Smithtown, LI

Crazy right? Still snowing here. Up to 15” (estimate) here adding from last night/today. And again that could be a little conservative since the other totals around me were higher than what I thought mine was. I see Central Park didn’t measure again but they probably made it to 17.5”, not sure how much snow regenerated over the city but there was a period of light snow overnight at Central Park too.
