Back to mostly snow now. Guess it will battle for a while

Just hit 9” Almost couldn’t open my screen door to go outside.

When the best dynamics pass ne of you the snow should pretty much end and you'll have sleet.

What's falling is still heavy and not pure sleet so will still add accumulation

And when it does change to 100% sleet it will go on for awhile, so we'll add a decent amount of accumulation. Of course I don't like sleet as much as I like snow, but I still like it. Freezing rain is what I don't like.

Buddy in Pittstown measuring 8" and sleet now.

Still at 10f here with 10+ down. No mixing. Just heavy snow.

Foot + is a lock here. Expect to hold out on all snow until about 2:30ish.

[mikeysed]

12 inches officially here. North Caldwell NJ

[SI Mailman]

I'm about 9 inches now, sleet still mixing in.

Probably a good idea to shovel right as it goes to sleet. In the dryslot models are showing some areas of freezing drizzle. That will make it all congeal into concrete. 

 

I'd think you'd want it on a thick layer of fluffy stuff. Then you can just smash through the top layer instead of it being glued to the pavement. Same for cars, you want a buffer between your car and the sleet/rain mix

Yup. 12 is looking like a lock rn,I did predict the snow totals to be over 10 inches. Rn this is bonus snow.

Sleet has arrived in Edison...

Maybe longer if I'm still snow here. I'm usually the first to flip (in the city at least)

Measured 9” in the front 8.5” in the back at 12:45; still excellent rates. 

Anyone have a link to the coefficient radar? Pittstown is 20 miles southwest of me. 

Just starting to hear some pingers on the window out here in Central Warren County.

Exactly. What I don't like is when the ice is underneath the snow and you have to scrape hard to get it off the pavement. Much better if it's on top of the snow. This will be fine.

The church you can barely see is like 1 to 2 blocks from me. 

[binbisso]

8.6" snowing heavily 

[ag3]

Snowing heavily here still.

[Astoriaweather]

Heaviest rates of the day in Astoria. Streets are a mess.  I guess we will flip to sleet soon.

All snow in JC parallel to FiDi - you have time.

The guy who measures in CP will log into the books 3.8" no matter what happens. 

[Snowlover11]

Getting quite breezy off and on.

I think Central Park has snow until at least 3PM.

It's been sleet the whole time according to that guy.

Great for snow totals if true

[SnoSki14]

Can't believe how cold it still is. 13F 

Fully sleeting now after nearly 9" of snow but sleet accumulates too and it's gonna turn the snow blanket into a glacier. 

[Winterweatherlover]

Not hearing any reports of any snow yet anywhere in the five boroughs so that's a good sign.

[golfer67]

I don't see how anyone who doesn't flip doesn't hit 20 inches based on what's fallen and how far SW the precip still stretches on radar 

[mob1]

A bit of sleet mixing in now, 9.7"

Double digits is a lock as sleet will still accumulate a bit. 

[A_Status]

80% snow, 20% sleet in Flatbush, BK
