Winds gusting to 33 already out on east end. 

38.7 mph at montauk lighthouse

Interested to see what peak winds are out there.  Pretty much the best place to get the best gusting.

Keep us posted.

***Moderate to Heavy Snow Early This Evening***

Bands of moderate to heavy snow will move across the area through
8pm. Snowfall rates will increase to one half to one inch per hour
in the heaviest snow. Conditions will begin deteriorating,
especially after sunset, as temperatures continue falling below
freezing. This will allow the snow to accumulate on all surfaces.
Travel is not recommended as roads will become snow covered and
hazardous.

Well. Let's let Forky have it.

[Rjay]

Forky is going for our 4th attempt at an obs thread for this storm.  Please post obs in there and analysis/models in here.  Banter goes in the banter thread.  Thank you.

At this point. Since there was an obs thread, now gone. To start another one will probably turn into a sh*t show, with obs posted in both threads. Just my opinion.

It's always a shit show no matter what. I'm kindly asking for it not to be this time.

Plus the meat of the storm hasn't begun yet.

My vote is leave everything in this thread.  Easier, IMO.

Agreed - its all related to the storm obs, radar , short term forecasts, etc.

the multi attempts has nothing to do with it, as usual, even after the original was posted, this thread got about two pages of obs posts, and will for the rest of the night, whether or not there is an obs thread. just like every storm.  there is no point having two threads.  if you are in the strange minority of being super interested in a storm but not wanting to read real time discussion about it while getting obs, and only want obs posts... tough. the rest of us dont want to flip between tabs
