Radar says snow but I definitely hear sleet pinging off my office window.

Central Park 7.2 inches as of 1:00 pm, sounds reasonable.

Where they will drop the ball is not measuring between now and 7 PM when the change to sleet occurs. We shall see, maybe they surprise us today.

They've probably already flipped in the past 30 minutes.

[jaquanweb]

snow and sleet is having a mighty battle against my window now sounds like snow is starting to win

[sussexcountyobs]

Mod snow. 7.4F Just measured 9.8"

That's their official 1 PM reading. Insane lol that's barely 10-1 ratios through 1 PM. It was like Aspen with ratios when the storm started for a few hours.

Full-on pinging in Elmhurst now.

Hooralph measured 8” in the Upper West Sode so it’s not hugely off. Small chance they make 10” IMO adding sleet.

Radar makes it seem like sleet is moving in here to Ridgewood NJ but all snow so far. Haven’t been outside in awhile to measure

[jm1220]

Wow it’s dumping here. Too bad it’ll be sleet soon. It’s about halfway through Nassau and almost to Melville. 

[Northwest NJ]

90% sleet now in Bay Terrace, Queens

[binbisso]

Still all snow in southern Westchester 

[doncat]

What's the coldest everyone remembers getting sleet and not snow? Today it was 14° here.

[donsutherland1]

With 7.2" of snow so far today in Central Park, New York City's record drought without a 4" or above daily snowfall has finally ended.

[TWCCraig]

A little sleet mixing in now. 8" otg

[Winterweatherlover]

First time i've heard a little pingling today but still mostly snow.

No doubt, PD II in February of 2003.  8 F that morning, snow falling in the afternoon at 12 F.  Today beat that by one degree,

I'm not sure but it will prob be today for me.  It's up to 17 though.  

[NorthShoreWx]

8.0" as of 2 pm, so no 2"/hour so far, but 1.5"/hour ain't bad (3" in the past 2 hours).  

Still violently regurgitating snow here at 2:20 pm 17.6°/dp 15.7°

Yes. That was at 1:45. 7.2" at 1 PM is very defensible. 

[nycwinter]

first time hearing sleet in upper manhattan now it will be like walking on ice for those who venture to go out when this is all said and done.

White Plains should ping soon.

[WestBabylonWeather]

Still snowing. Some pingers mixed in hopefully it retreats. The radar really isn’t showing the sleet here

It'll probably be a back and forth for a while once it starts, especially on the north shore,

[Ridgewoodweather125]

Sleet mixing in a bit finally in Ridgewood. I’d say still 80-90% snow
