@ag3 @BxEngine@MJO812 This was about 30 minutes ago...

Roads just started to get snowcovered. I'm right by the Throgs Neck bridge like literally the most northern part of Queens and the main roads just got snowcovered, I'm not making this up guys.
-
Whitestone. Pics aren't uploading for some frustrating reason, will try later. Starting to stick to the main roads now that the heavier bands filtered in.
-
Yes I know. I'm just saying that not everything is snowcovered and it's about a coating on the grass. I'll send pics soon to confirm
-
Not here my friend and I'm in one of the colder spots of the boroughs. Main roads are wet still, I was just out in it. Not complaining, just saying it's taking a while to stick here at least.
-
No doubt but ground still wet for the most part and this is a quick mover. I can't see 12" anywhere close to NYC unless the rates are absurd. It'll be a good storm regardless. Some areas north of the city look primed for 12+.
-
Yeah, those numbers are way high. I don't see a good chunk of the metro getting 12"+. Maybe up to 8 in spots.
-
Slopfest in Whitestone. Very wet snow, coating the grass but most roads are wet. Rates are just too light thus far.
-
He's probably the most accurate met on this site. His word is as close to gospel as one can get in this field.
-
I know. People keep talking about wet roads in these marginal situations but most people live outside of the heat island. Bottom line, if it snows hard enough it will stick everywhere even with marginal temps. This is February 12th, not March 12th. It's all about the dynamics and this storm looks to be a quick heavy thump.
-
If it was March I'd agree but being mid February still, the city can really accumulate even in a marginal setup if the storm is dynamic enough outside of midtown Manhattan of course. I think 3-6 is a good call for the city right now, more just north of the city but it was higher potential IMO.
-
Wow, I had all but given up on this yesterday afternoon then see the thread title saying "6-12" for many" and couldn't believe my eyes. I'd still be wary of any last minute north trends (I don't buy suppression) but the trend and model consensus is undeniable. Suffice to say that the 12z suite is going to be critical.
-
The trends are usually north even in good winters which is why you almost always want a suppressed look several days in advance.
-
Shows how delicate the setup is. Need pretty much a perfect track and a very dynamic storm to get anything more than mood flakes.
-
I don't either. This event is way too thread the needle for my liking, for those of us near the coast at least, and it's hard to ignore the usual north trends leading up to events like this.
-
Isn't this forum designed for discussing patterns, even patterns that are weeks out? It seems kind of disingenuous to disparage those who are posting well reasoned thoughts about future patterns. Same goes for those that post future torch patterns such as yourself, you shouldn't be ridiculed for that either.
-
Does anybody rate '15-'16 highly? It was a one historic storm winter similar to '05-'06. Two very memorable storms though.
-
SUN!!!! Oh how I missed you, you beautiful yellow thing.
-
Yep haha. You've been through here before?
-
About 2" here, sticking everywhere but the main roads. More than I thought we'd get in northeast Queens.
-
Flizzard. Hours and hours of flurries
-
The meltdowns over a storm that was never a big deal in the first place.
-
It's a pile of cement around my way so with the 1-2 inches of fluff tomorrow and cold this weekend, it'll stick around for a while.
-
For sure but it usually doesn't sniff out the warm layer until we get really close to the event. Regardless, this is a light snow event. We should enjoy it before the inevitable warmup fires up again.
