Steady snow and 19/18 with 0.3” on all surfaces. Current radar is looking like it might continue for a while more, maybe we could get an inch up here in Orange County.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... As an upper low passes just south and an associated weak sfc trough moves through, snow showers have begun to overspread from west to east across NYC, NE NJ, western Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley. Forecast continues to carry likely PoP for those areas, and also have chance PoP into parts of southern CT mainly over Fairfield County and toward the coast. QPF remains light, less than 1/10 inch in general, and corresponding snowfall amounts should largely remain from a coating to around a half inch.
Can`t rule out an isolated 1 inch total in the higher elevations north/west of NYC and across parts of western Long Island where forcing with the upper level low will be stronger. Some minor travel impacts and slick spots are possible this evening. Still, some locales may not see any snow whatsoever, or just a few flurries, largely staying mainly dry and overcast instead, especially into interior southern CT. Clouds thin out regardless overnight as the upper low shifts offshore and drier air works in. NW flow increases tonight as the pressure gradient tightens between the offshore low and the strong inland high, which should preclude decoupling. Low temps range from the mid teens inland, to either side of 20 in NYC and along the coast, with wind chills in the single digits most places, and as low as 0 in spots well inland.
