all snow here still

It’s mostly snow. I would say 80/20.  Honestly probably would be all snow if we weren’t in a bit of a lull right now 

 

edit: just went outside any honestly may be all snow lol

The temperature has dropped 2° in the last 45 minutes.  That's one element that I really wasn't expecting at this time of day.  18° snow/sleet mix.

Went from 19 to 22.  Wind is howling at times though.

11-12" here in Somerset County...that's with almost 3 hours of sleet/freezing rain...the thump was real

not seeing any zr thank god, but this sleet is accumulating. where i shoveled a path for the dogs earlier is buried. still sleeting to beat the band out. we might bust high after all. 

[EasternLI]

8" OTG now, so it's still accumulating. Snow/sleet mix continues.

Likely overdone but the 18Z RGEM still has 5-7 more inches for NYC/LI/Lower Westchester.

Glad you survived Jersey.

Looks like the coastal is robbing the moisture from Western LI right now. Lighter echoes, while to the west NE NJ continues to absolutely crush. Someone will get 2 feet around there. Down to 19.7 WTF

This is the heaviest sleet I can remember since I was a child in like 1992 I believe? 

I remember the ice being so thick on the snow top that I could walk on it and push around my big tonka trucks without it sinking down.

Turned to ice pellets about 2:15. 8.25 inches. 18.8 degrees.

Back when Tonka trucks were solid and had some heft.  All plastic now.

It’s gonna be a disaster if some of us get 0.10” ice on top of everything that’s fallen. I think a lot of us get freezing drizzle once the precip really shuts off and we lose the lifting.

Could see westchester getting that. Although 7” might be a bit much.

Thats what we actually want.means we go back to snow quicker. Everything is crashing to the coast rn. The low is also southeast of modeling and getting organized fast.

its new jersey to you.....

[Snowlover11]

Sleet line looks to be trying to push north towards White Plains a bit.

cant post the image due to the stupid image sizing.

[mob1]

Still a mix of snow and sleet and actually accumulating. Up to 10.8" and counting.

Thanks for mentioning that.  I went and looked at a bunch of wunderground stations and it looks like the north shore spots have dropped a degree or two and around the expressway just started dropping a little.  Curious to see if that turns around soon by you.  I assume you're not very much south of the expressway.

We'll get him, next time.

Places in eastern PA are reporting a flip back to heavy snow

[BxEngine]

About to hit 14” here. Complete fail by me, never believed the higher numbers up here. 

[doncat]

Mostly sleet mixing with snow at times.... temp has gone back down to 15 after reaching 17 .

[NJwx85]

Still to come 

[eduggs]

90% sleet over the past 30 minutes. Measured 7.5" at 11:30am and 10" at 3pm. Not much accumulation after 1pm or so. Still showing 10" new so probably some compaction going on because of the sleet.

I think it's back to all sleet and some snow now,  but definitely freezing rain a couple hours ago mixed in. It's icy out there.

I run a weather page on Facebook for my town and I stuck with 8-12" since Monday. Ended right at the upper end.

Was a nice surprise to be closer to 12 than 8

Awesome! Getting north of the mix line was key. Looks like you should pick up several more inches.

[MANDA]

Off topic for here but looks like parts of TN are getting ravaged by ZR.  Nashville and Memphis especially being hard hit. Massive power outages underway with rapidly falling temperatures.

Carry on.....
