Back from a walk about 30 minutes ago. Stunning , picture perfect. Approaching 5”of pure powder on UWS at 8 PM by my estimate. Pictures soon.

Snow has started and rapidly picking up on UWS. Wind ripping as well.

GFS coming in NW. Getting real worried for the I95 crew now. This might end up being a North and West storm.

GFS really squashes northern precip shield, really nice hit for the metro...

We're in midseason form, baby!

Lol at the jackpot literally over NYC.

I wasn't there, but did CP not have any cover on grassy surfaces yesterday?  They had .05" of melted snowfall... and moderate snow at times. I would ave thought a slimy wet snow covering of 0.1? 

Would have thought so. Last night there was even some remnant traces on the grass near Riverside Park.

I'll take whatever we get this winter, but I am looking forward to any picturesque snow we get. We moved this fall and are right by Riverside Park... there are many Jebwalks in my future and I'll be amping my snow photography game again. We also have a good line of sight across multiple blocks that will allow me to estimate visibility with precision. So bring (whatever) on...

FYI - absolutely gorgeous out now.

nicest night in a month.

Bet there are lots of trees down in the Parks.

Been living in this 20th floor apartment for 5 years and needless to say this is tops. Just howling. 

Looks like a nasty cell headed from Long Beach to queens/Brooklyn and then Manhattan.

Nice. Jackpot over NYC. What are the ratios? 10:1?

That was f*cking awesome.

2.5” Uws. Shooting for 3” and it’s going to be close 

Really nice little storm. Perfect Saturday afternoon mood snow. Park was great and people were sledding.

Definitely not. .5-.75" at most. 

Yeah, I'll split the difference. Took some measurements - got 1" in several places on our terrace. Elevated places (tables, chair arms).

Stopped on the UWS. maybe 1.25"?

What passes for excitement this winter...

Back from a nice run in Central Park at 65 degrees. I'll take it. Reminds me of Christmas Eve 2015.

just started at tip of Wall Street. We should get it longer.

Angle of that line looks like it’s primed for maximum duration in Manhattan!

Snowfall rates have appreciably lessened in past 30 + minutes in lower Manhattan. Visibility has gone from about 1/2 mile to well over (based on looking out my window across the river at Brooklyn). Snow has not stuck to anything.

In my new job I actually have operational responsibilities requiring me to track snow

When would the heavier snow potentially hit in the city? Is this going to derail the evening commute?

My new daytime/work location this year is right on the water, at the tip of Wall Street in lower Manhattan. Still drizzle here.

When could the peak banding hit in the city?
