Watching closely .. February 1-3rd for moderate to major coastal event
hooralph replied to Typhoon Tip's topic in New England
Indeed we are. Had 5" on the ground in Manhattan about 7 AM. Really cranking now and we've just hit about 1/4 mile viz. -
Pasting this as a reference for later. The shadow of a building a few blocks away is exactly 1/4 mile. Been watching the curtain draw down on it the past 15-30 minutes.

Measured 5” OTG on grass on Riverside Drive at 8 AM. Maybe a hair more. This is sticking measuring tape into the snow.

NBC4 also sticking to 8-12 in the face of a WSW for 14-18. That takes guts.

Thanks. That's encouraging to see if you are in NYC, as it seems to be holding pretty steady.

OBs and nowcast later Tuesday morning - Noon Wednesday 1/26-27
hooralph replied to wdrag's topic in New York City Metro
While it was misting/raining last night about 7 PM and I figured that was it for the event, went outside this morning to discover a weird layer of graupel on grassy and colder surfaces. Edit: that was my 1000th post. -

First flakes flying on UWS. -
It may have stuck more in my mind as we were coming off several pretty bleak winters and it was my first chance for a big storm in 5 years (I moved back to Boston in April 97 two weeks after the blizzard). Walt, your AFD's were always a riveting reading! I always learned a lot and your passion always came through. In the days long before most pro mets would dare to tread in the waters of these boards, your AFD's felt like they were written for us weenies! As the March 2001 storm approached I was emailed you directly in my delirium to ask questions and couldn't believe you took the time to respond.

Also late to the party re: 12/30/00, but I suspect that one inflicted some trauma on @wdrag. That remains the greatest bust of my lifetime in Boston metro. If I recall, NWS had to walk back the WSW from 8-14" (may have been 10-16") down to 4-8... 3-6... and in the city we wound up with - I swear - wet pavement. Nada after an hour of wet snow it both changed over and we got dry slotted. Incredible. Outside of 128 I think it was a 10" storm, but inside it was a total bust and the gradient reached 0 in the city.
