I'm curious what anyone in Manhattan near central park thinks of the 1.1 "official measurement in the Park at 7:00 am? 

At 7:00 am 2.4 at EWR, 1.7 at LGA and 2.6 at JFK. If it was once you let it go but it's all the time.

Maybe they should just stop and make LGA the official measurements in NYC or actually get a trained spotter near the Park to take them. I guess they just don't give a F.

Fox had a reporter measure exactly 3" at the park about a half hour ago.

Central Park has been getting out of hand, especially since 2020. The only problem is that it’s still the official measuring site of NYC. So when people look back in the past on this storm, they’ll see there was only like 2” in NYC. That’s rubbish

If they measure again it should be more. The best accumulation was really just the last hour or so. Micronets show freezing temps only recently getting into the 5 boros and more so uptown. This is shaping up to be more a Sunday storm than a overnight one since the temps were relatively mild

5.3" here as of 9:30.  Good shot at 6".

 

FYI, warning criteria here is 7", but not if they think the 7" totals will be isolated (or spread out over more than 12 hours)

I thought it was 6" in 12 hours? Maybe this is spread out over longer but I think we definitely hit 6", good shot at the 7". Radar looks good for next couple hours maybe.

Measured a bunch between 5.5 and 6.5 so I'll go with an average of 6. Still snowing in this final band

Same here. Awesome. Last night we said we'd be happy with 4, so this is a nice overachiever. Beautiful out there with all the trees and bushes coated with the heavy wet snow.

You’re correct. 6” in 12hrs and 8” in 24 hrs is the criteria.

It's actually 6 inches in Upton area, 5 inches in Mt. Holly area and 7 inches in Albany area

Well for the most part, the storm behaved as expected for most places. Aside from parts of the 5 boroughs (which will likely be in the 3-6" range anyway when all is said and done) starting out a bit warm because of Urban Heat Island, this was a pretty good event for most people. Will probably see a swath of 5-7" surrounding NYC and then 3-5" in NYC. In line with most forecasts
