[MJO812]

Nam is hot garbage at 18z. Hopefully its the typical bullshit runs.

At least today worked out. Take what you can get. 

I'm more interested in late Jan to early Feb...best potential in years.

3k a bit better. Using Kuthera is better due to temps. 3k kutchera is 2.5 for CPK in line with the 2 to 4 NWS forecast

3k is further south and east

[Metasequoia]

FWIW, NAM 3K doesn't look as warm for the coast.

Up to 1.75" - huge overperformer and still snowing moderately at 32F; guessing we'll hit at least 2.5" judging by the radar.

Also, every 12Z model is now snowy, so expecting a general 2-4" for the region with an upside of 3-6" possible (lowest amounts well NW of 95 and far SENJ). Expect advisories to go up shortly. No updated NWS maps yet. Lee Goldberg and the NYC mets can suck it, lol.

As of about 2 pm, when the snow was nearly done here, I measured 2.2", which was a huge surprise - beautiful fluffy dendrites fell heavily from about 1:15 to 1:45 pm; we're up to 13.4" on the season.  After measuring, I "broomed" mostly as the snow was easy to push and then went shopping (party tonight at our house - y'all are invited, lol - we had to postpone our NYE party until tonight as my wife had COVID, but is fine now).  Temp is up to 34F now and some melting is going on, but the side streets are all snow covered still.  Can't wait for tomorrow...

RRFS is about 2.5 for the city using Kutchera.

[Stormlover74]

Tomorrow feels like a bust. I just don't know which way lol

Right now 2-4 is a good call for the city .

I’d take that and run. Another 1-3” for much of the region

Yep adds up

[Stormlover74]

Most of today's snow isn't going anywhere even with temps holding steady tonight so everything will stick tomorrow. Roads remain to be seen how good the rates are 

[Nibor]

1.7 here. 

[FPizz]

3.1" total today, 15" on season.  A little more than halfway to average for season 

[TJW014]

FGEN band location is going to determine the winner tomorrow. Some are going to be really happy, many others are going to be really sad. 

[donsutherland1]

Preliminary snowfall amounts:

Central Park: 1.0”

JFK Airport: 0.6”

LaGuardia Airport: 1.4”

Newark: 2.0”

That gets NYC to 8.7” for the season. More than all of 2012,2020,2023,and 2024. 5 more inches and we’ll tie last year’s total.

I was at smith haven mall today. Moderate snow. Stuck on grassy areas. White rain otherwise. Too warm 

[steve392]

Just under 1.5" aty house.  Snow was absolutely thumping almost the entire time.  Roads got covered up.

I believe we will go WAY over that for this season.

WX/PT

[Yanksfan]

2.0 inches. I’ll take what I can get. Still waiting and hoping for a big dog this winter.

[Winterweatherlover]

RGEM also looks like a hot mess tomorrow, too warm at the coast and not that much precip anywhere.

Just wondering where you picked up an extra 2" since we live a stones throw away?  I was travelling over Christmas week, did I miss an event?

Got about 2.5 to 3 inches over here in Fair Lawn NJ. Pretty decent hit.
