1.2

Snowing pretty heavily right now in Whitestone. Ground whitened. Including streets.

[Superstorm]

can anyone confirm if this is snow or sleet cause if it's snow, that's like 3-4 inches an hour easily!

I would guess graupel, maybe some sleet

I wonder if the heavier than expected snow in NYC improves the chances of tomorrow's snow accumulating. Colder atmosphere and ground?

This will definitely help with colder thermals for tomorrow. Dynamics are my biggest concern 

[MJO812]

Euro has 3-6 tomorrow for the NYC area

[Winterweatherlover]

ECM almost doubled totals from the 0Z run to 12Z for today and tomorrow lol

[BoulderWX]

Just measure 3” in Morristown - slowing down a bit but still moderately snowing.

It’s not the cold you need to storm to move further west for tomorrow.

Heaviest snow is over for my location per radar.  Still light to some moderate snow for next hour or so.  Just measured 3.2”.

Right on transition line so likely sleet.

As Sacrus said above, it’s snow. At least in Monroe. I’d describe it as more like moderate snow than heavy snow though. 

[the_other_guy]

that’s the best way to see where this is an actual snow storm at the moment. Like I said yesterday, this is an elevation storm.

Likely skeet or skeet / snow mix.  That is transition line between snow and mix / rain.

[dmillz25]

Heaviest snow of the storm so far. 

[JonClaw]

Mod/Heavy Snow. Chunky flakes.

I wouldn't call northern Westchester and eastern Rockland highly elevated.  Also roads are covered down to the NYC line even if traffic is moving ok.

[WeatherGeek2025]

Brooklyn incoming!

[Metasequoia]

Sticking to streets and sidewalks in Battery Park City...

[BxEngine]

Accumulating just fine at 150’ elevation. Lol

[donsutherland1]

Armonk, NY:

 

[dmillz25]

Sticking everywhere now. 

[JonClaw]

Starting to accumulate on sidewalks here in Elmhurst.

Elevation is helping but this isn’t an elevation storm, as we know.

Given they probably will measure at 1pm a half inch or slightly over.
