    Reporting live from NYC under the death band:

    It got worse in the 5 minutes since I took that picture.

    Holy crap. curtain is dropping. going from 1/4 mile to two blocks.... Picture soon.

    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.
  7. hooralph
    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.

    Last 4 runs of the NAM for 18z tomorrow. Really trended to hanging that low back.

    From about an hour ago when I measured 5". Snow has picked up substantially since then. Great snow growth.

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

    The WSW is for 16-22. OKX has 21” for KNYC in their graphics.

    Still only mood flakes on the UWS. Cars and untreated sidewalks barely dusted.

    First flakes on UWS.

    That’s some Gozer the Gozerian s*** right there. Gateway to another dimension opened up over NYC

    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.

    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.

    meh. down to snizzle.

    For now - as of 12:34 - full on snow globe on the UWS with fat flakes. Grass by Riverside drive getting covered.
  22. hooralph
    Pingers!
  23. hooralph
    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.
