Thanks. I figured that's what he was referring to.

Specifically on the campus of Brookhaven National Laboratory. Interned there for two summers back in the day

Great people there

storms like this make me appreciate the resiliency of the subway system. the fact that service is still up and running even as roads are becoming impassible is kind of incredible

7pm Snowfall Reports:

NWS NY: 2.5"
Newark, NJ: 2.0"
Islip, NY: 2.0"
Central Park, NY: 1.8"
JFK: 1.7"
LGA: 1.7"
Bridgeport, CT: 0.8"

I was out at 7 and thought we had about 1.5-1.75" OTG (but about 1" in the hour I was out), so they're on this so far.

Legit full blown whiteout

When do bands start getting formed ? There was supposed to be heavier returns going through Northern NJ, when do those start ?

[NewRoGuy]

2.5 inches in new rochelle as of 730! Coming down very hard.

Those areas heaviest snows may be in the 07-11Z period.

[A_Status]

Measured about 3" on grassy surface in Flatbush, Brooklyn.

[SACRUS]

Nice one

 

[NorthShoreWx]

In other news, the snow gods are violently tossing their cookies right now.  S+ 30/29

Looks like about 8" at the stake, which means roughly 3" new.  I'll do a proper measurement and wipe the boards at midnight.

[EasternLI]

Nuking in this. I'm right in the middle of it. I'll be buried if we keep anything like this up.

What time is that exactly ? The 07 stuff confuses me

[Wxbear25]

Radar south of LI looks paltry now, but watch later as this initial band lifts north and weakens, should see returns bubbling and expanding again

Modeling has pretty consistently been having these batches of heavier precip followed by brief lulls for a while now

[North and West]

Sorry for Morristown. They previously had 18-25. I’ll be happy if I get double digits 

We’re not too far out here.

Ant, are these storm totals, or additional from now?

The HRRR runs every hour hour 1 was 7 pm this run

[Nibor]

Definitely at or over 3 

[ForestHillWx]

Bands are forming now and  slowly rotating in. I’m pushing 2.75” here with heavier rates over the past 1 hour. 

The premature bust calls never fail; enjoy the storm as it forms.

That's Z time, for Zulu time, which is the same thing as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). It's the time system used in meteorology and in aviation. 00z in EST(EDT) is 7pm (8pm), 06z is 1am (2am), 12z is 7am (8am), and 18z is 1pm (2pm).

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.

4 1/2 inches, here to your southeast.  Got into those 25 to 30 dBZ echoes a while ago. 31 F

[lee59]

Looks like about 3 inches, 31 degrees not to much wind yet peak gust low 20s. Looks like a very heavy band from the ocean ready to move across Nassau County
