  1. Coming down in lower Manhattan. Sticking to the trees and starting to coat the grass in City Hall park.
  2. Coating on cars, some patchy areas of slush on grass and wet pavement. If cars count then about 0.5" snow, otherwise a trace. Now 33 with flurries/drizzle. At least they havent buried us in unnecessary salt so far.
  3. yes indeed...looks like snow in the light, feels like rain on my forehead. LGA reporting rain and snow, 40
  4. Yeah it feels like a rain mix really. At what point is a wet snowflake just a cold rain drop lol.
  5. Have some slush downtown now, but its also now more like drizzle with some flurries currently.
  6. Its been heavy snow for a while now in Lower Manhattan and it will just not stick. May be the heaviest non sticking snow ive seen. It looks enough to overcome slightly above freezing temps but nope. I can see its about the same story at home.
  7. Moderate to heavy snow downtown now. Still not really sticking on the surface at all but rooftops are quickly becoming snow covered. Slightly better acclumation in the Bx mainly grassy surfaces from what I can see.
  8. Light snow in Lower Manhattan, no acclumation..that includes grassy surfaces. Looking at security cam in bx, no (visible) snow.
  9. Here in the bx, that burst of snow has changed back to mod sleet/freezing rain. The brief snow did lay a foundation for ice accretion now on sidewalks and possibly streets. Down to 30.
  10. Suddenly changed to snow, patchy coatings on grassy surfaces. 31
  11. Down to 31 now. Light rain/freezing rain continues, occasionally mixing with sleet. Street signs developing an icy glaze but too marginal for icy streets here so far
  12. Im at the Philly Marathon. Rain changed to mod to heavy mix to heavy wet snow. Back to light mix now.
  13. Yeah they were spreading the salt this morn. Salt storm warning. All it does is accelerate road damage and strach up some parked cars when they shoot the salt out the trucks. To be fair these "snow alerts" aren't nessasarly a bad thing but it shouldnt be made public. It should be an internal thing just to be aware in the case a weather event overachieves. When the media starts spreading it, it gets interrupted as an actual weather forecast.
  14. I noticed what you mentioned about those trees having a mass leaf drop as green leaves. The type of tree you mentioned seems to be especially sensitive to freezing temps. Many other trees still green didnt suddenly drop their leaves overnight. I remember last yr the same thing happened b/c I parked under one and my car was completely covered in green leaves.
  15. 32 here. First freeze. Growing season had a good run, was producing to the very end.
  16. Mine are still out there too. To my surprise they started growing again in mid Oct, even bearing a few new tomatoes. My neighbor took his out a while ago, but once I saw mine growing again I'm curious to see how it goes. I have peppers too but despite their tropical orgins they usually do well deep into fall. Coldest low of the season so far here, down to 40.
  17. ..clearing is pretty rapid, actually could call it partly to mostly sunny, 69 dew 68. But, soon as i say that clouds are returning just as fast.
  18. Seen some large trees down. Today is not very windy at all though. High wind warning was too late.
  19. Wind is howling now.. Brooklyn mesonet gusted to 51. Manhattan 55, Queens 58. Some very strong guests coming through now setting off dozens of car alarms.
  20. When it comes to snowfall, DC is turning into Atlanta. At the same time we have increasing snowfall. Theres a huge snow dichotomy along I 95 now over a relativetly short distance. I wonder if it's a semi permanent thing or if plummeting snowfall totals will eventually move up the coast here? Being in more favorable position for noreasters maybe saves us?
