Same here neighbor, sounds like it's starting to ping a little bit now though.

Its that small subsidence zone between the two intense areas, will probably go all snow again when that area in WRN SI up through N-C NJ crosses, after that clears I think it goes all sleet

Nyc going to get over 4

I doubt it. The heavy snow will probably last another 1-2 hours but there are breaks in the radar already showing up further to the west. When that happens we’ll sleet

There’s already 1”-2” on the ground. 4” is doable.

Snowing hard. At least an inch of accumulation

1” in Long Beach. Paste bomb so far.

I might have to bump posts from 2 people if NYC gets over 2 inches .

[SnowGoose69]

CPCantmeasure might have work cut out tomorrow AM, this is a classic case where they'll come in with a crazy low total because the sleet will compact it before the 1am measurement

Get emmmmm

[MANDA]

Was thinking change to sleet 2 to maybe 3 hours after start time.  Started a little after 7:30 and based on radar looks to lighten up and mix between 9:30 - 10:00 latest.

 

Going to take a measurement now.

Easily. I’m not going outside, but it looks like 1.5”-2” already here.

[mob1]

The park has too be seeing some serious rates now. 

[ag3]

What a band over NYC. Gorgeous.

[Amped]

CC radar shows sleet moving into the southern part of the city. Going to be a sharp gradient between the Bronx and Staten Island.
