OBS: 1/25-26 Snow/Sleet

[qg_omega]

Moderate snow already 2 inches. 8/4 temp/dew

[FreezingDrizzle]

First flakes here at around 4:30 am.  One inch by 6 am, at 11 F.

2 1/2" here at 8 am. With a good one inch per hour rate presently. 13 F.  Fine "cold" looking flakes, a very wintry look,

Coldest snowfall here since PD II, February of 2003!

[Snowman92]

About 3" in fair lawn right now, coming down like crazy. 10 degrees

Roads are horrendous

ps This radar depiction is the old AW radar.  Is it on their site? I always liked this depiction, shows the rates clearly.

Always enjoy the tracking and im sure there are still some surprises in store with some jackpots, sleet progression or lack of progression.   Been a few years for such a widespread impactful storm.  All systems are go.

Snowing much harder here now. 12.6 degrees

Even Atl dealing with the frozen part of this earlier this morning

 

[kat5hurricane]

Already a winter wonderland here, radar looks great, let's have fun guys.

[wxallannj]

7.5 degrees with moderate snow. Not often it is this cold with snow. Reminds me of the beginning of the blizzard of January 1996,, then I believe it was 10 degrees!

You'd have to check the soundings but the sleet line's coming north pretty steadily. Gets held up here and there but no major issue I can see vs guidance. We have until 2-3pm to really clean up (around the city), maybe 4pm for Suffolk County. 

New incoming 12z HRRR gets sleet into the city/I-80 around 3pm and east from there to most of Suffolk by 4pm but it fights back and forth for the northern part of the city and LI for a time. Hopefully those fights back and forth can buy us another inch or so. At the end of the event there should be some freezing drizzle in the dryslot before it all freezes up. This will be really bad to try moving. Might be a good idea to shovel right before or as it changes to sleet.

Yeah I don't think we'll see a delay in the changeover but that initial thump may end up being better than expected for some. 

Already 3" in Somerset

Wow off to a fast start! Intense overrunning with lift through a deep layer encompassing the DGZ is magical. A quick switch to heavy rates probably means quick mid-level warming, so let's get outside and enjoy this!

Bro the whole area should see a foot… areas NW of 287 could approach 18

[allgame830]

2” already in Hawthorne NY

[gravitylover]

5/2/NE4/SN+ At least 2" down. Heading out now 

[BxEngine]

Plows starting to catch up now but its still horrendous. Definitely heavy snow in the 80s and 90s mile markers on gsp. 

[SACRUS]

 

trying to reverse engineer my avg snow ratio since it started around 4:30 AM.

0.11 LE - 2.3 inches of snow = about a 20:1 ratio currently

Its a beautiful sight to see snow with temps in the teens.

4° w/ moderate snow 

3.2" otg 

This is at least 20:1 stuff right now

I think 20+ is def doable for areas around 84

NYC Sanitation just gave the order for all their trucks to drop their plows and commence plowing operations. Had one just come down my block. That layer of salt they spread last night did nothing as the road is still white after the plow went by.

[Astoriaweather]

NYC snow plows are down and I think snow plowing is supposed to begin when 2 inches or more accumulates.

With the current high ratios I think 10-12" is in the cards
