So I'm inferring from all the posts about extreme heat that folks aren't excited about the clipper.

Settling into the reality of bare ground having missed today's storm, with not much of interest on the horizon. As others mentioned, the ski areas could really use some help. My UVM son who's been skiing Jay said on Sunday that conditions were decidedly meh.

I don't know if I can remember an instance like this where snow is being shunted south of me while my temp sits above freezing. Nothing makes sense anymore. Anyway, congrats to SNE - well overdue.

My area was never in the game for really big totals, but at this time yesterday we were progged for 6-8 and as of this morning the NWS GYX probabilistic map still had us at >60% for 6+. Now it looks quite possible that we won't see a single flake. As others have noted, what makes it especially bewildering is that the goalposts had seemed to close and we were down to minor oscillations - then the rug got pulled out completely less than 24 hours out. It also seems unusual to have things move south so dramatically in the absence of a big dome of cold air pushing down; usually you associate suppression with deep cold. It feels like spring out there again today.

The fact that the NYC area now looks to get buried will make this even worse, as it will be a major national news story. Family from out west who aren't weather geeks and don't understand NE geography will be calling and texting to ask me how we're holding up.

Selling the 6-8 that GYX is showing for me. Looking very close to a whiff here.

Looking forward to weenie posts about whether that’s been adequately factored into modeling.

The colors are triggering. I honestly think some people see the oranges and reds and think it's going to be 70s and 80s.

At least the areas that actually need snow for economic reasons are getting it and retaining it. Could still use more "useless" cold for the ponds and lakes.

About 5” of paste. It was beautiful at sunrise.

Glad I don't live in Brooklyn.

The worst driving is always when there’s not enough snow to keep people home, but just enough to slow everyone down and bring out the salt trucks.

Got down to 6 here - coldest low so far. Had a bit of a sun-flurry just to add to the wintry appeal.

Chinese brunch weather here today. It's nice to at least have a few days of cold with snowcover, even if it's not deep; looks and feels like winter.

That's definitely meat-and-potatoes for CNE/NNE. Seems like it's been a little while.

And of course it will flip in April and May, when the rest of the country enjoys spring and we rot under a cutoff low with days and says of cold drizzle.

Looks like we’re done here unless there’s some late backbuilding. And that rarely works out. Eyeballing about 3”.

We've been going back and forth between light/moderate snow and IP. Looking at radar, I can see a dry slot racing toward us. This feels like one of those events where you wait all day for it to really get cranking and it never quite does. I was hoping that we'd at least cover the grass completely.

Nice image. Right on cue, big flakes coming down.

Intensity dropped way off, pingers mixed in. Maybe 1-2 inches down. 24F

Things have definitely picked up here, and the roads deteriorated quickly. Moderate snow and 24.

I was getting impatient too, partly because my wife is at work and was asking me if I thought they should close the office early. This is a tricky borderline-type event in terms of amounts and timing; most schools are open, but at least a couple are doing early release.

I'm taking the under on both of those, or at least the low end of the ranges. Of course, as I type that the intensity has picked up here; just don't know long it will last or if we'll flirt with mixing.

Very light snow since about 8:00 this morning. Almost up to 3/4 of an inch. Guess it’s better than another 3 inches of rain.

Better than sump-pump rains and storm surge.
