Radar really breaking up over the metro area and Long Island. Will save us from that heavy sleet further south 

Was in that lull for a bit but back to moderate sleet and radar to the west looks solid (though I wish it was situated in a straight west to east line).

Radar looks plenty juiced to me. That dry slot is over Southern PA and might not even make it that far North. The HRRR has a very brief dry slot before another band comes through overnight.

22z HRRR is hinting at an additional 4-6" for Rockland & Orange 

[WestBabylonWeather]

Easily an inch of sleet. Since I shoveled 

[Intensewind002]

Added 2 inches of additional sleet and snow in Lindenhurst now since 3 pm, total snow and sleet accumulation is 10.7" now

21 and freezing rain

Yeah I see that. If that happens I’ll be over 20”.

That my friend is not good.

 

22 and heavy sleet here now. Haven't measured in a while, but definitely north of 11" by now. 

 

When is NYC's next update?

How often are you going to see ground temps that far below freezing, with just freezing rain?

Plus every surface is ice cold. Hopefully it'll turn back to IP with the heavier bands.

Currently 35 and pouring rain in Brick. Anyone know how much rain we’re supposed to get? Because it’s going to kill the snow pack.

Not often around here.  More often in the plains and ohio/tennesee valley. 

Still some IP mixed in here. 

[Wannabehippie]

What is CP in NYC reporting?

35 won’t do much to the snowpack.

In terms of snowfall or current precip?

You have no idea the tremendous act of will it took for him to admit he had even that much snow.  He's curled up in a corner muttering to himself and rocking back and forth now.

Easily 16 inches a few miles south of White Plains

[Bxstormwatcher360]

Looking like the snow wants to win out here. My visibility is dropping again. The radar has the mix line starting to sag south to about i95@the cross bronx soon.

Unknown precip is poetry.

[mob1]

Radar looks primed for Central Park for the next few hours (assuming it stays all sleet), should easily get them to 10"+

When the lifting sucks and there's nothing to seed the clouds with, you can get freezing drizzle/light freezing rain. The heavier stuff to the west will likely be sleet when it gets here.

[Rjay]

ISP reporting "light snow/light ice pellets" but it's definitely sleet/zr right now.  This is annoying.

If it's within 50 miles it wont show up.

This radar is really good. Now it shows the sleet line well north of me and it's been all sleet for the last 45 minutes or so after mixing back and forth between like 2 and 5:30

[winterwx21]

This has turned into one heck of a sleet storm. Hour after hour of pounding sleet. What a snowstorm this would have been if not for the mixing.

[Picard]

Snow changed to sleet for a bit and within the last 5-10 minutes seems to be back to majority snow.  Temp still @6F.  My temperature has been locked in between 6 and 7 since I got up this morning.

[BxEngine]

Sleet has finally invaded rockland. NAM delayed but not denied. 12 degrees. I dont even wanna think about the cement that must be the end of my driveway. Maybe ill just let it melt in march.

Interestingly enough it is now shown as -SNPL instead of the PLSN they were reporting 1.5 hours ago so for some reason, they're showing it as Snow is now the more dominant precip out there

Yea. What could have been. But I’ll still take the 10” and sleet. Better than nothing but yea we’d be over 20” otherwise

Its a mess outside and good luck finding parking.

 

This is what I got home to lol. My steps.

[eduggs]

Total pelt fest out there, wow! Just cleared a long driveway and the sleet plus windblown accumulated about 1/2" in an hour and a half. But new snow depth is still at 10". Really dense snow to move. Congrats to those north of this stuff!
