Seems like it is near Philly on this radar:  https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=DIX-N0C-1-24-100-usa-rad

SN+ reported at CPK in latest update

Incoming: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=DIX-N0Q-0-24-100-usa-rad

Nice banding over the NYC metro and especially just west into NJ

Moderate to Heavy in the UWS though not sticking yet

Flurries in the UWS

edit: which graduated into a steady light snow within minutes 

Not that this one is a done deal for snow but it often seems like models show a storm a week out then lose it for a few days before coming back.

Nice echoes developing south of Nassau and heading into the city

Looks like the mix line dissipated over nyc area can anyone confirm? 

Never changed over here in UWS and still snowing though not as hard as earlier

Still coming down nicely in the UWS, no sleet

Sorry meant DONT see how any boroughs record 20 or more unless something changes fast 

Still snowing heavily in UWS, maybe we luck out here but tough to say

Heaviest of the day here on the UWS.

Agree!

Getting smoked in the UWS, don't yet see the characteristic large flakes associated with an imminent changeover to sleet

Just measured 9.5" of pure powder on the ground here on UWS. Back inside now, I'm hearing what sounds like a few pings on the windows and air conditioners. 

I'm in the UWS, don't hear or see any sleet. Prob just the wind blowing the snow around.

Looks like two bands rotating in from the SE. The first runs from SW CT down through Westchester, Rockland and points SW into NJ.

Then an area of subsidence in between.

The second band is about to enter LI and the rest of the coast off the ocean.

Probably easily 1-2" per hour in the Western band and 2-4" per hour in the one coming off the ocean.

I am in this area of subsisdence and I'd call it "less heavy" snow, lol 

 Wow, just wow at the persistency of this heavy snow for the past 90 mins

The NYC ASOS reported .03 in 11 minutes to start the hour.  That’s probably a 4 inch per hour rate if you assume we a tad better than 10:1 right now 

Wouldn't be surprised, crazy out right now

Heaviest of the day in the UWS now, visibility very low

Blitzed in UWS, prob 1-2"/hr rates

very impressive. it's consolidating right over the metro

Incoming insanity for the NYC area

Whether the sleet line makes it into the NYC area later on or not, enjoying a heavy and relatively high ratio snow now in the UWS, pretty awesome stuff!

Pouring snow here in the Upper East Side.  Unless there is a dramatic difference within 3 miles in Manhattan, it's likely a camera or building illusion in the coverage down in Madison Square Park.

Yea agree with this as it's been ripping in the UWS for some time now

Absolutely ripping in the UWS

The models seem to underestimate overrunning/front-end snows but overestimate back-end snows for NYC. Not sure the science behind it.

Yea very true, it's rare the NYC area scores big on back end snows (upstate and New England are another story though)
