It literally snowed and stuck at 33 even in manhattan yesterday 

Very heavy rates. This thing won't really pick up until after sunset and then you're only looking at a couple hours. I'd be impressed if central parks final measurement exceeds 2".

Is the pecip going to back in or is the snow later coming from the south? 

It seems to just blossom between 3 and 4

I think it’s going to be location dependent, depending on precipitation type. Looking mostly wet, not white for a large part of LI. Again, location dependent, even on LI

Need heavy rates in order to do that. We're down to a pixy dust kind of snow here in Queens. Can't stick like this

You declared this winter over 2 months ago. Come back in march to discuss the spring.

You mean the lull that every model and every forecast had? Ok then.

NWS said 4", saw a lot of 3-6" forecasts as well.

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

1.8 inches of new snow at 1:00 pm. Light snow continues. 
 

6.6 for the weekend so far.

Guess what, we will know at midnight tonight. What's the point of discussing until we know the results. 

[gravitylover]

Slowed down but never stopped and keeps accumulating. Plow just went by so I'm gonna go push the mush out of the way.

Same here, been snowing since before dawn. It’s accumulating where I shovel but on the snow board, and yard, the snow just keeps getting denser. This is going to be a solid snowpack once the deep feeeze gets here.

I just checked NWS forecast for Central Park. 1-3" this afternoon. 1-3" this evening. So. Total forecast is 2-6". If the Park gets only 2", that was an accurate forecast.

Yea it depends on the rates, the correct thing is generally if it's 32 or warmer with light precip you won't get good accumulation in the five boroughs (especially the more densely populated parts). Heavy snow will stick anywhere except maybe midtown. 

[weathermedic]

Some flakes mixing in with the light rain now here in southern Brooklyn 

[Krs4Lfe]

Hopefully the radar begins to fill in soon. We'll need every minute of it. Radar looks good to our south 

[TJW014]

Looking at KDIX CC band, you can see the rain/snow line crashing its way south/east

This was well forecast. Light snow picking back up here

I went back and read posts.  Right after I posted snow started up again and was quickly coating everything. 

 

From secaucus south on 95 and into Monmouth County very little accumulation.  Got to Manalapan at in-laws and it's coming down good! 

[lee59]

Light snow started back up here. 33.6

[SACRUS]

 

32 -SN here.  Picking up

Central Park had 0.4" this morning. Will need about 3 more tonight in order to get the forecast amount

Not true. NWS forecast for CP is 2-6". The park needs only 1.6" for forecast range to verify.

Their latest forecast map has central Park at 4.4 when all is said and done

100% wrong on the no snow on the SS. 
 

however I agree that for most of the island, minus the twin forks, it’s going to be mostly rain. Rates not enough to overcome the warm 

You are overestimating the warm.
