Changed over to sleet on UWS at 9:45. I know because I went out for a short Jebwalk and was delighted to find it was still fluffy flakes. Within five minutes it was pinging on my hood.

 

I measured 2.5” on benches before the change over.

Thanks for measuring hopefully the official measurement does not come in at 1 inch lol.

if you are on an iPhone using Safari, when you have the picture selection window open, there is a little toggle button in the bottom right. You can click that and select smaller file sizes.

Bronx should be changing over now according to dual pol.

[psv88]

Meat of the storm for Suffolk now. Visibility about 1/4 mile, 2.5” down. Will probably end up around 4”. 
 

29.7

NYC/LGA reported .20 liquid but just 1 inch this hour so ratios may have dropped to 7:-8:1 as can happen before a changeover

[EastonSN+]

Lol it's like pulling teeth getting Central Park above 10 inches.

Sleet/Snow mix here now. 3” on the ground.

1” could be up to 1.49”, no?

Nice!  Did you wake up the zookeeper to make a measurement, since the precip type changed?  They're supposed to - otherwise the sleet will compact the snow and we'll see another low measurement.

N. Smithtown 9:55pm 29⁰ S+

2.3" total, 1.6" since 9pm.  Heaviest yet atm, vis ~ 1/8

[tdp146]

It’s snowing. Having fun

[Picard]

heavy sleet, 25F with 2" of snow and sleet OTG.

[BxEngine]

About to hit 3” here shortly as well.

[WestBabylonWeather]

4” coming. NWS good job 

[dmillz25]

Heavy sleet but 4” might be close 

[Krs4Lfe]

Just about to hit 3” in Bayside, Queens, half snow and half sleet right now. It’s a pity Central Park probably has under 2”. It’s like impossible for them to reach 10” this season

[Volcanic Winter]

Nothings more frustrating than being at 31-32 degrees and raining with some sleet. I haven’t looked at this event too closely but must have warm 825’s down by me? Still below freezing and raining. But wasn’t expecting anything here anyway. 

Enjoy guys!

Edit: Currently 31.3 on the tempest and straight raining lol. 

[dWave]

Been snow and sleet the whole time, looks around 3". Now changing to more of a freezing rain/sleet mix atm. 30F

[jm1220]

Aargh sleet! Man down man down!! 

[weatherpruf]

Now I know why I don’t see anything; because it’s just raining here.

Crazy that I'm no more than 5 miles from you and we haven't had a lick of sleet yet. Sitting at 36.

Where in TR are you? I’m at the Manchester border, inland. Definitely a cold spot in TR and very slightly elevated relative to the rest of the town closer to the bay / river.

My grass is coated in mixy sleet / ice along with our cars, but p-type appears plain rain. 

[MJO812]

Heavy sleet

[NCPOW]

Light snow with sleet now mixed
