They should be measuring right now because will be sleeting very soon.  If they wait until 1 a.m. forget about an accurate reading.

Sleet is about to enter NYC, snow rates should drop off pretty rapidly. I’d expect sleet for a few hours, followed by some light ZR or light rain and then that’s it. I hope Central Park takes measurement soon, final total there should be around 3” when it’s all done

Heaviest snow yet falling in the bronx..1 to 2 inch an hour stuff rn still no sleet.

[weatherpruf]

If they wait till 1:00 then I personally will never trust any of the Central Park snowfall measurements that have been made. 

[NCPOW]

Heavy snow. Approaching 3”. 27.5

Heaviest snow always comes right before the sleet. How far south is the rain line?

HRRR pushes sleet line back south after an initial push. Let’s see.

[EastonSN+]

Manhattan should be sleeting right now or mixed with sleep per the dual pol radar

That would be so out of character, they always seem to place such importance on getting out there right away for accuracy

I was wrong guys. There was a very nice band for us. I am very happy I'm wrong  

[dmillz25]

The heavy rates bailed us out. If only the temp here could be 2 degrees colder but still 2” so far.

If this heavy snow continued for another hour, Central Park probably would have made it to 4”. I wonder if heavy rates can stave off the sleet for a little bit, but if not then we sleet for a few more hours then it’s probably all done.
