Total on ground. I clarified the post.  We're pushing 3" now, but thats from eyeballing the stake..not a measurement from the snow board.

Oh this just keeps getting better, the good old eye ball measurement SMH

It's often a bad model but it's really good in these type of storms.  It's like the NAM in that it there's use for it in certain situations. 

[EasternLI]

Man it is cranking here now. Very heavy snow. 1/8 mi or less vis type stuff. Getting breezy too.

HRRR — primary mesoscale driver

Best for:

Snow band location

Snowfall rates (1–3"/hr)

Band evolution / pivoting

Useful range: 0–12 h (up to ~18 h trend)

   Areas affected...New York City into Southern New England

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 230024Z - 230530Z

   SUMMARY...A long-duration moderate/heavy snowfall event will
   increasingly impact NYC into parts of southern New England this
   evening into Monday morning. 1-2 inch per hour snowfall rates will
   be likely, particularly after midnight EST.

   DISCUSSION...Recent regional radar imagery from the northern
   Mid-Atlantic/southern New England shows a band of moderate to heavy
   snow moving slowly northward into Long Island. Already, recent
   surface observations reported 1 inch in the last hour at Islip,
   LaGuardia, and JFK. This band should continue to impact parts of
   southern New England this evening. The highest snowfall rates will
   at least initially remain near the coast. With time, the 994 mb low
   analyzed off the Mid-Atlantic coast will deepen, particularly after
   11 pm/midnight EST. This will eventually promote a broader zone of
   stronger isentropic ascent that will promote more widespread
   moderate/heavy snow farther north. Surface winds will also
   concurrently increase with the deepening of the low. Blizzard
   conditions will be possible late this evening into Monday morning.

As of 6 pm, we have 2.5" of snow, so another 1" last hour it's snowing at moderate+ whatever that is.  Temp still 31F.  Very pretty snow coating everything including the trees since the first inch or so was pretty wet and it stuck, despite ~15 mph winds with gusts to 20-25 mph now.  

As of 7 pm, we have 4.0" of snow, so 1.5" last hour as it's been snowing close to heavily (not crazy heavy, but visibility maybe 3/8 of a mile. Temp still 31F. Just finished my first shoveling and it wasn't too bad - bottom snow layer was wet but snow falling now is somewhat drier, but still packs.
