  1. Yup I agree..and having the remote option to fall back on makes it an easier decision for some places.
  2. Quite a gradient, even if it lasted for like 15 mins. I went from 56 to 37 btwn 630 and 730am. It did feel damn good this am while it lasted.
  3. 42 with Dense fog. Huge amount of snow melt overnight
  4. Islip average snowfall to date really 14.9"? More than NYC, same as Newark.
  5. It was tough to measure but it avg 9" - 11" outside of snow drifts or bare ground areas. So I call it 10.5" matching the closest official place at LGA. Around 8" is believable in the Park to me. For a while radar kept showing moderate snow bands not getting past a line from about Westchester sound shore areas, middle of the Bx, western Qns down to parts of BK. Those higher totals north of Midtown into the Bronx etc are more ENE or NE, not just North. Areas near the Hudson in NJ look comparable to Central Park, and places north on the Hudson side of Westchester County a little less.
  6. Yeah it is deceptive. It was looking not that heavy until you go outside, those little fine flakes pile up. Thats Pelham Pkwy?..I was walking over there a little while ago and to Bronx Park E.
  7. Reminds me of lake effect snow when I was in college. Was my introduction to light powdery snow and how easy it can stack up..also how much easier it is to deal with that the usual wet heavy stuff
  8. How far west has acclumating snow reached? Some radars look ok, and some look horrible with some snow back to eastern Bx and central Queens but not much more than flurries west of the East River/Harlem River. Or does it not pick up this dry powdery stuff well? I'd expect more people freaking out lol Tough to measure but 7 or 8" maybe
  9. That make sense..I started further NE at Pelham Pkwy and it was increasingly hazy going SW to 149th/3rd Ave. Coming up the stairs near WTC white smoke in the air look like snow for a sec. You can feel and taste it down here. I think wind is more due west now instead of SW earlier helping to push it uptown more
  10. Faint smoke in the bx to now heavy irrating smoke and smell in lower Manhattan from the Newark fire
  11. Moderate snow in lower Manhattan. No acclumation..not even on grassy surfaces or cars. A mod to heavy windswept white rain
  12. Now rain snow sleet mix here, bx. Pictures I've seen in Manhattan and BK on social media look more impressive, don't know if they got under a heavier snow band or I'm too close to the Sound with a gusty E wind off of it, but I'd call it a trace here.
  13. 15 now after a low of 8 this morning. Been a while since last single digit temp
  14. As of an hr ago a touch over 7" near east side of Botanical Garden in the Bx. That wet snow that sticks to everything with a fluffy drier layer on top
  15. There was a 20 car pileup on I 287 and smaller piles up and closures on the Hutch, Cross County, Bronx River Pkwy, Deegan Expy. In hindsight that Winter Weather Advisory should of included NYC and southern Westchester. They extended it after the damage already begun.
  16. More ice than I expected here. Boston Rd in the bx was littered with accidents and completely closed approaching the Westchester border. I could hear the bumper cars overnight. Temp 33 now. That overnight freezing rain is sneaky when it's quiet out and has a chance to form a glaze at marginal temps without the constant flow of traffic during the day.
  17. A significant snowfall in DC, it's about damn time. If I manage to get a snow shower out of this I'll be happy.
  18. Yeah I was riding my bike, felt pretty good. I have to remind myself it's early Jan, and to get near home before the cold air sweeps in, I felt the change beginning by 230. Been trying to enjoy those 55+ winter days but reality is on the horizon. If it comes with snow I'll take the tradeoff.
  19. Lots of sun and 54. Expected any significant breaks of sun to be after noon. Since it's shining bright let see how warm it gets..
