[Noteaster101]

Does anyone have a concrete idea of when the accumulating snow is gonna be winding down?

ha the 2/23 00z euro matched the hrr for reference

Not really close. That’s ~ 10” in NYC after 7 PM tonight? Would be like 12” with what was on the ground then. The HRRR has been in the 18-20” range for the city for most of the day.

[hmdeutsch98]

Central Park West Observation- I took these measurements at the ball field by 81st and CPW entrance from 12:15-12:30am

8.5, 9.0, 8.75, 9.0 Average is 8.8 Inches

Temp 29.8 degrees 

Gusts appear to reach around 40-45 MPH

`Activities Enjoyed; 

Swinging, snow angels, sitting on a bench

[Joe4alb]

Easily close to a ft on the the East End right now. And the radar looks SICK! it's gonna get insane over here again in the next 30 min or so

[SACRUS]

radar starting to pivot more  from se - nw to ese to wsw

i meant to exclude the first 3 hours from the totals.  

[Snowman92]

Was shoveling what I could right now and pre-salting to no avail. An easy 2 inches fell in the timeframe I made it back around the house. Measured 10.5"-11"

[Nibor]

Can really see the back edge crescent.

[OrangeCTWX]

9.5 inches here. Looks like some more bands will be coming in from LI soon too.  Also based on radar I’m thinking maybe NWNJ could be where that snow band pivots and drops a ton of snow in a localized area?

How often are you taking measurements during these events?

[Yaz]

Near white out conditions in Rockaway NJ, in Morris County… heavy snow with blowing snow. I am under the yellow banding. Very , very cool!

my plan was to measure at midnight then again at 8 am. CPW is 3 blocks away from me and a hot toddy in my cozy apartment is keeping me lazy.

I'm sure you know we have a lot of criticism here for Central Parks official measurements. We appreciate you making the effort to take measurements that can help us tangibly understand what is happening down there. Thank you for your service.

Yep, that's why I made sure to measure in an open clearing on flat, uninterrupted land and take multiple measurements. I'll do the same at 8am... if i don't sleep through my alarm.

6.5" PHL and 6.9" ACY to midnight did not quite break 2001 date records close to 7 in.

Shin level snow outside rn.. its driving windblown snow at that. 12 to 13+ out there..drifting everywhere.

Heck of a band setting up out this way, I’m just west of the real heavy stuff; hoping it kicks a few miles west. 

[guinness77]

I’ve been on the clock since 1pm today and am not expecting to be released until Tuesday at this point and am definitely getting fomo reading this thread when I’ve had a chance. 
 

Got out and walked to the west end of the Jamaica station platform and it was a sight to behold. Looking over the tracks to the west of the station was insane. Swirling winds, snow just sticking to everything, felt like a real life snow globe in this shithole of all places. So windy, there’s snow accumulating on the platforms. Wanted to take a picture but it didn’t seem smart to pull my phone out in this weather. Definitely sucks to not be home and be at work, but can’t pass up this kind of pay.
