How do you post videos of radar mine keeps saying to big 

I think I'm allowed more space but I still had to load less frames than I wanted

Light snow again here in north Queens. Nothing on radar but it certainly is snowing. Roads are a total mess 

[Rjay]

Look at the wind direction out of ISP

South winds picking up moderate snows and I think atvs/dirt bikes out there lol

The old days in Queens. Guido dudes on ATVs in the streets during a blizzard. Good memories

About 2 inches here and snowing decently again.

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

4.2 inches as of 10:00 PM. 20° with light snow.

By looks of the current radar I'm doubting we make 6 inches which I was figuring would be our minimum threshold here. The morning will tell.

Nothing on radar in north queens but moderate snow. Maybe some ocean/sound effect snow. Appears to be nothing to our west. Just spotty precip

Radar is back filling, hope yall can pick up another 1-3 overnight

[MANDA]

I'm under some of those instability type echoes moving s.e. from NE PA.  Steady light snow and 20 degrees atm.   Based on radar it is possible I can pull off another 1 to MAYBE 2" as these bursts of snow move through over the next few hours.  Anything that falls from now until the end will be snow.  Radar has filled in nicely over NEPA.

Thankfully it's pure snow here now with this next batch of precip that's moving in. Maybe we can get 3 inches overnight as the latest HRRR is showing? I would guess 2 to 3. 

[NJwx85]

Snowing here again after a lull.

[MANDA]

[Stormlover74]

Finally starting to get some light snow

[wthrmn654]

One thing that I didn't expect was the wind. Was there suppose to be any wind with this? 

[wthrmn654]

And it's quite the fluffy snow too I might add

[the_other_guy]

Watch ALB be the winner here

didn't even pick up 1.....clearly over in nj. if that ruins it somehow for those who actually got a snow event, try looking at it from our point of view....we know we are not always in the bullseye, no one ever is....but come on man, i legit had more snow from the minor event earlier this week....since not much was expected, getting half an inch of fluff was a nice surprise. getting half an inch when at the low end 3-6 was expected, and 4-8 being the general call,  is just a massive bust. in today's day and age, with all this more sophisticated equipment, they still make the kind of whacked out misses i used to see 25-30 years ago. i had relatives leave the state early to avoid the storm; then again, not really sorry about that....so maybe there was a silver lining....anyway enjoy what you got. watched two bizarre movies to pass the time, chainsaw man and bugonia....don't waste your time on either of them.

[RU848789]

best snow of the storm under maybe 10-15 dBZ lol...

[wthrmn654]

With that said I have to be up at 430 get ready for work so I'm hitting the pillow. Hopefully everyone gets a few more inches.

this has got to be one of the biggest busts in this area in years; i'm thinking not quite as bad as jan 2007, where there was a heavy snow warning and nothing happened at all..... but this was bad for our area. worst in a decade or more. it's barely a car topper, jfc.....there ain't nothing filling in here; this thing is done out here. 

This batch we're getting now is mainly snow, so claims that it would be just sleet for the rest of the night were not correct. It's going to be fairly light though ... we won't even get close to the forecast amounts from early today.

But it's not over. Look out the window and you'll see that it's now snowing. We have a ways to go.
