2 inches measured here by me on Staten Island

[ForestHillWx]

Over 6” now. Still ripping. 

[MJO812]

NYC area will definitely be in the 4 -8 inch range.

Yup. Def wasnt the last hoorah in the city last hour. Or most of the metro. Long island should get a good couple hours here too i hope.

Looks like the radar echoes are getting lighter just north of Manhattan moving south. Is that the cold air drain down the Hudson.?

Probably but in last few frames you can see it advances back north

Prob moreso distance from the radar site. The okx radar has some stronger bands still over northern westchester.

HRRR seems to end things between 10-11pm at least mod-heavy accumulating snow. I'll gladly take this as long as it lasts and at this clip I might be able to make it to 4-5" which a few hours ago was doubtful.

Its called 'proximity to the ocean'

It’s not even that close to the ocean…maybe more elevation related, it’s 200 feet lower than the Northern

No chance, it's moving too quickly. 2-4 is a safe bet, looks really nice outside regardless.

[jm1220]

Almost 2" now. Really coming down.

[SnoSki14]

Should be done here by 9-930

[Stormlover74]

3" as of 8pm so 1" in the past hour. Still moderate so maybe 4 total?

Top layer is very fluffy high ratio stuff

[uofmiami]

2.8” now at 8pm in N Syosset. Got 2” in one hour.

[BoulderWX]

One last gasp here. Hard to measure with the wind, but I’d say close to 5” in Morristown.

As of 6:45 pm we had 1.75" on the ground at 30F, so another 3/4" in the last hour and right now it's just puking heavy snow (likely >1"/hr rates).  Just went out for a drive to White Rose because I love driving in the snow and, duh, we love us some White Rose on a snowy day.  All secondary roads are snow covered and icy, while Route 1 was mostly wet, but snow was starting to accumulate on it.  

As of 7:45 pm, we have 2.75" OTG at 30F, for 1"/hr the past hour and it's still heavy snow and is definitely higher ratio snow than earlier, as it's drier and has better formed dendrites, so I think we're going to get to 3.5-4.0" assuming we get another hour or so of decent snowfall.  Just wish we didn't miss so much earlier today and for about 20 minutes about 90 minutes ago when we were in a bit of a snow hole with light to moderate snow when everyone around us had heavy echoes. It happens.
