Discussion-OBS snow event sometime between 06z Thu 2/20-12z Fri 2/21?
MANDA replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
Finished with .40" and melted of .03". My street has a ton of salt on it this morning and no rain for at least a week to ensure a dusty mess until further notice. -

Pretty much just flurries here now. Just measured.40”. Could be a tad more or a tad less as it is extremely light and fluffy and winds are gusty at times so it is blowing around pretty good. The .40” seems like a good average measurement. Temp currently at 16.5. -

I've got 5.3" for the month and the largest "storm" was 2". Sad. -

Finally up to 33 here. Some pictures of the woods out in the backyard. Nothing extreme but trees are ice coated and sagging. Just got back from a few errands and passed a tree limb that had downed a power line in Randolph. Police and utility crew were on the scene.- 475 replies

1:15 and still below freezing here. Currently 31.5. Has been between 30.5 and 31.5 all morning. Ice not accumulating at any kind of rapid rate but up to about .10" here. Maybe a tad more. Paved / concrete surfaces just wet. Trees are drooping with the ice accumulation, nothing drastic but very noticeable. Have to say KUDOS to Walt. He had this nailed for days suggesting temperatures were going to struggle today. I will be paying closer attention to the EC-AFIS 2M temps going forward. Great work on his part!- 475 replies

That storm was not locked in until the afternoon of. The LFM lost it on the night before. I remember it very well. The morning of nobody was predicting 12" for NYC, never mind 20". I THINK maybe forecasts the morning of were in the 3-6" range. -

5:30 Did have a burst of almost moderate snow since 4pm obs. Picked up .4" in 90 minutes. Currently 26.4 degrees with very light snow and some IP- mixed in. Measured .80" at 5:30. Per radar just spotty light precip (very light snow or IP) over next few hours. Bulk of accumulation is over.- 475 replies

4:00 P.M. Just measured .4". Very light snow currently and temperature of 27. Everything covered. Even my very quiet street which has not been salted yet. Based on radar might be a decent thump headed this way over the next 30-60 minutes. If I'm going to get more than 1" it will have to come from that. Anything after that looks quite light and likely more sleet / freezing rain.- 475 replies

Just very light to occasional light snow here. Light coating on everything but the street. My thinking was 1" here. Based on the current goings on hard to envision much more than that before a mix with and change to sleet and some minor freezing rain during the evening and then to plain rain around mid-night. I see NWS just hoisted High Wind Warning for gusts to 60 mph. That should be interesting with the wet ground tomorrow afternoon into Monday. Bound to be some downed trees / power outages if those gusts are realized.- 475 replies

Man that 500 is beautiful! Love the upper low track through northern VA and passing to our south! Was what I mentioned yesterday morning that would deliver the goods. Goods = heavy snow, strong winds and very cold high ratio wind driven snow. Would love to see these trends continue today or at least something very similar. Get this to 12Z Monday looking like this and I will feel much more confident.
