As of 10:30 pm, it's 33/31F here and we have ~1/4" on the snow, but it's been snowing at what I would estimate at close to 1/2" per hour rates for 1.5 hours, but have just a dusting on cars and maybe 1/4" on the snow, so we've "lost" close to 1/2" of accumulation already and we were only forecast to get maybe 2" or so. Not sure we're getting more intensity, so we need it to drop another degree or so

Now we're cooking with gas. Coming down at 1/2 inch per hour+ rate.  Starting to stick on typical favored surfaces.

Like it's laughing at us.

Enjoy, Metsy.

Something odd with the NWS radar.  Snowing very hard now, under 10 dBZ echoes?

[psv88]

Looking at radar and home cameras looks like snowing nicely. Roads snow covered and 32. 

[jm1220]

Hopefully coming down decent on the south shore, looks like some good echos there.

Light snow is falling in Larchmont, NY. Colder surfaces are coated.

[MJO812]

Starting to stick here

[rclab]

22:30, Cobble Hill, 35 degrees, ref accu weather, NWS. Snow, as seen through the basement apartment bars. Stay well all, as always ……

[Nibor]

Moderate snow here. Nice big fluffy flakes.

[Tatamy]

Been getting steady light to at times moderate snow here.  1.3” new OTG.  31/30

[steve392]

Snow is really coming down hard but not sticking unless it rained first.

As of 11 pm, it finally has reached 32F and intensity has gone up a bit and snow is now accumulating everywhere, even on untreated paved surfaces. We have 0.4" on the snow and maybe 1/4" on cartops/deck chairs. I'd guess we're now at 1/2" per hour rates, as I think I overestimated before - was probably more like 1/4-3/8" per hour from 9:00 pm until 10:30 pm, which mostly melted except on the snow). Let's see if we can get 2" now. Radar looks as good as it can look without the friggin' Ft. Dix site up, lol.

Dusting on all surfaces here in Brooklyn

[JonClaw]

Dusting on dirt, struggling to stick on sidewalks IMBY

As of 12:00 am, it's now slightly below 32F (31.8F) and snowing moderately with 0.7" on the ground (on the snow); we have about 0.3-0.4" on other surfaces and a coating on all untreated paved surfaces, so things are getting slick. Radar still looks good for awhile, so I'm thinking 2" is attainable by 4 am when things are supposed to wind down.

Nice flake size tho and very steady rates.

A positive bust incoming. Temps keep dropping. Its 30 now with moderate snow . The radar is about to go boom before it ends.

Agree. 6-12"

[psv88]

30 and good snow in Commack. Looks like 1/2” down based on cams. South shore getting smacked right now.

One can only wish but its snowing atleast. Radar looks good for the city in any case. 

[RedSky]

The radar is deceiving.  It's snowly nicely but not like you would think

While looking at the the storm evolution I would expect a track something like this.   The only issue I see is possible dry slots.
