Looks like the Jersey shore is reporting mostly snow now.

Starting to change over in Edison.

Just don't hide good information. My posts were hidden and based on the law. Many people do not know your insurance will not cover you when a travel ban is in place. It is serious and can bankrupt the average person easily. And if you MUST travel be sure that your employer will back you by calling you essential. I know there are cases in education where food service is clearly essential, but insurance didn't want to cover those employees getting to campus. The employer then had to do battle to say they were. 

JM's point is this discussion should be happening in banter and I agree.  I will move all the posts.

Snow sticking to the trees and nowhere else not even car tops, I don't recall that happening many times. 

[Astoriaweather]

Central Park down to 32

I think the NWS might be too bulish. Recent GFS indicates numbers might land closer to the 10-12 range.

I'm still thinking 12-18" for NE Sussex county. Locally higher in spots.

I’m thinking half that here in Orange County. This was never our storm. Hopefully someone along the coast cashes in on the goods

For all of you freaking out about a travel ban for NYC. Nassau County announced one last night.  This is bipartisan and it's about public safety and having the roads clear for the trucks to take care of the snow so we can get back to business as quickly as possible. Some of you are completely unhinged.

I went low on the KNYC/CPK forecast - 15.1" I think - largely because I think this will come in under the extreme projections but also because the heat island with this storm will be very real. We'll lose a lot of the early accumulation. People will bitch about NWS underreporting at Central Park, but the reality is the ground is warm and wet. 
 

I surveyed Riverside a short while ago and can’t find any place that won’t either lose accumulation to the warm wet ground or blowing.

A lot of these posts were hidden before I read them but seriously guys, get a grip. 

At 1:25pm in my UHI blessed Brooklyn backyard, my 36 inch snow stick is ready ……. Despite what my state of the art uncalibrated brick wall mounted thermometer has to say. I have hope, RJay, that the weenie you give me will eventually turn into a Bockwurst. Stay well and safe everyone, as always …

People doubted NWS last one and they were spot on. I’m going with this. 

The GFS's big cutting down on the forecasts seems to say otherwise.

Been snowing all day on western Suffolk, 33.3, nothing to show for it 

32⁰ with steady light snow here.  It's starting to accumulate, mostly on colder surfaces, so I went and checked the amount that had melted in the 4" gage.  Just a trace, nothing measurable, so nothing has been lost to melting.

Yes, the republicans on Long Island also shut down traffic. People are too political 

unless you really needed to be out there, why go out? but some people are clueless....

The gfs has done this right before every big event I can remember except maybe boxing day.

Great sign that the HRRR keeps ticking west

That's because you are living and dying by models runs. Globals are not as great to pinpoint amounts now. This happened 100% last storm too and the NWS was pretty much spot on. Unless the high-resolutions models and what is currently happening begins to look like it won't happen, go by the NWS forecast. 

[Poker2015]

Mount Holly updated. Still aggressive.

 

[Prue11]

Upton 1pm updates. Nothing has changed they are confident in a HECS for there area

[weatherpruf]

snowing a little here now. getting cold. just got the snowblower ready; hope the funky wheel holds up. really got caught by surprise here. the backup is working though. 

[SnoSki14]

Stop looking at models except HRRR.

Start looking at radar. The storm is happening now.

Banding almost always ends up further NW than forecast. Unless you're in NE PA or something we're in great shape

I could work out as some storms in the past where the east side of the county does better. All depends on the CCB bands on where they set up and orographic lifting. Anything is on the table. Nowcasting time.

in jan 87 this happened during the evening commute as no one was expecting a foot of snow that put down inches an hour. people had to abandon cars. i'll never forget it, and you won't see me out in it. stay safe.
