Gusting to 50 down here. 52 and 55 mph gusts at HPN and LGA as well. Guess the big gusts are too isolated to warrant a wind advisory.

And wind. Lots and lots of wind.

Still have a couple days before TV mets have to commit to that. For now they can just say cloudy with a chance of snow and mention the possibility of something bigger.

Yeah that's about what we have. Decent sized fluffy flakes coming down with vis about a mile maybe a shade under.

TBF to the road crews, OKX still saying only a 20-40% chance of light snow this afternoon as of their 1202 update even though it's been snowing steadily across all of their CT zones for the last couple of hours.

Did anyone's barometer reach 31 inches? Looking to see if any stations got to 31, some stations in NJ got to 30.98. Mine was just shy - never seen it that high before! Looks like MSS got to 31.01.

Look on the bright side: at least sunsets are getting later now. It's by seconds per day, but we're on our way to more mugs and jugs and margs and oyster shucking on the beach

The eastern eyewall is already east of the mouth of Tampa Bay longitude wise. As someone said above, this looks to make landfall between Sarasota and Venice in the next hour or so.

929 mb / 145 mph as of 8 AM EDT update

Looks like the new forecast takes it up to 185G225 at 6z tomorrow before the weakening trend begins.

925 mb / 160 mph on the 11:55 EDT update.

Yes. Sorry, 155 mph max sustained.

933 mb / 155 mph as of 11 AM

Looks like as soon as it crossed 92°W around 13z it turned due east.
