Storm potential January 17th-18th

[NYER72]

bit of a bust forecast - in a GOOD way - mets only had the city down for a trace from this storm 3 days back.......

[RU848789]

As of 9 am, 1.2" new snow at 32F. Looks like another 30-40 minutes of snow to go for this first round as per the radar. Not sure how long the lull will last, but if the HRRR model is to be believed, we won't get much snow from about 10 am to 2 pm, after which snow should pick up again through early evening.

Looks like the meat of this is later today and this evening-this batch looks to end in a couple of hours

A lot of happy people on LI with a bit more snow than what was prognosticated. Recent winters were the complete opposite. 
 

currently on the taconic. Not good

FL Panhandle is really going to have more snow on the ground than my backyard

This is the second January in a row that they have gotten snow. Last January they got about 5 inches in some areas.

98% of the sub would agree with you.

Best snow of day falling right now. 30°

Haven't measured again but I'd say close to 1.5" new

Not a bust. Models change within 3 days.

When the roads really start accumulating, that means the temps are finally getting cold enough. Until then,  Snow accumulation will be slow.  

[MJO812]

Florida Panhandle getting snow right now.

[Krs4Lfe]

Moderate snow here in Bayside. Probably nearing an inch but that’s because we’re a bit elevated and usually colder than rest of the borough. Roads look wet with minimal accumulation.

I'm up to 33 and imagine with the break it'll be 34 or 35 this afternoon then cool back down with round 2

Temp went up a degree here. 34 with moderate snow 

[binbisso]

Moderate snow big flakes about  1/1.5 inches new sticking to everything beautiful outside 

[mob1]

So pretty. Over 1.5" so far and we'll see what we'll get tonight. 

[SACRUS]

 

There is the SE snow

 

[Superstorm]

Florida Panhandle getting snow right now.

Nice!

Mesos with a bit of a shift east this morning. From a dynamics standpoint, I hope the storm ends up a bit west than that and stronger. 

[SnowGoose69]

Its quite strange seeing those areas get snow in La Nina winters...its almost always limited to just El Nino years.  ATL for example saw no measurable snow in 95-96

[ForestHillWx]

Still coming down out this way, even under lighter returns. Very peaceful snow while making pancakes for the kids; syrup ‘em up and send them out!

Snow stopped for the time being. Only added another trace.

2.5 hours of tiny flakes falling has me at 1" so far today. 

1.3 inches here as of 9:30. I didn't think it was accumulating either but the 26° temperatures and the constant light snow doing it's thing, 6.1 inches now for the weekend.

Remember for those of us that had snow yesterday, it's not depth today it's what you accumulate today. I know it sounds silly to remind people but the "official" rules for measuring seem to change every other year.

[psv88]

Nice burst of snow. About an inch down, roads snow covered out but temp has ticked up to 33. 
 

from highway cams it’s raining at the beaches and south of montauk highway 

[WeatherGeek2025]

gm guys about an inch so far probably 3.5 inches so far from today and yesterday here in White Plains

Yeah and with the lull coming in soon, we'll all probably warm up a few degrees. Latest mesos took the storm east a bit, and along with it, the best dynamics. But around 4 PM, NYC is expected to start snowing again.

1.3” new otg

Per the radar, that lull is moving in fast but most areas in NYC should snag a total of 1" before precip shuts off. Most of it will probably melt during the lull but HRRR says light snow up until the main action later today.

It won’t melt. 35 isn’t melting this wet snow
