I took a blend of the Eduggs and the DonS models and assumed the NAM might be right about the sleet. But I think my broken abacus was a problem.

How is the ice situation up through Middlesex / Union / Essex / the city etc? 

Down here it’s an ice skating rink; bad. Be safe all. Temp crashing too, 23F and falling.

Crazy bust by all models on the surface temps. Most had my area getting to around 30/32 at 11 pm. It’s currently 22!
 

10 degree short term model bust by all mesos. Doesn’t matter for shit, but still a lesson to be learned when it comes to surface temps in a SWFE, always over estimated 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Almost always happens when the storm comes in aggressive and heavy that the surface never warms up the way it's modeled to.

Wife and I went for a Jebwalk on Roosevelt Island.  After I explained the concept of a Jebwalk to her (which she found super-endearing), we measured a 11.8” here.  Solid storm in what’s turning out to be a solid winter.  I continue to believe we’ve passed the nadir of craptastic winters.

They barely went under on Kalshi! It was I believe 11.6, wow that was tighter that I expected.

Tons of sleet but no icing. Roads will be bad tomorrow

Damn looks like NW Suffolk cleaned up again. There’s a 12.8” report from Commack which isn’t me. Hauppauge and local towns also over 12”.  People must think I make it up, but this area usually does really well in SWFES.
