BronxNY Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The actual decision is made an hour before that, it's released to the media at 5:00AM Well I'm sure the decision is made an hour before but Teachers, staff, students etc find out at 5 am from the news like everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 it's regents week in NY so schools won't close. That depends. My wife is Spec Ed coordinator for Huntington HS. Likely they won't but they could if it was that bad. They just would lose the testing funding from the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 what do you have so far? we had 3.2" or so this AM...whjat did you measure since 930PM I have 7 total between the two, but my last measurement was at 11:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Honestly, this snow is heavier than anything I saw on 12/26. Obviously, the shorter duration will mean we see less, but this is just crazy. The only other time I might have seen snow this heavy is during a thundersnow band in State College that lasted 15 minutes, or maybe 12/30/00. It's literally undescribable. All you see is WHITE. Just white, visibility has to be as near zero as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have 7 total between the two, but my last measurement was at 11:45 That's about what I had, and I measured a little after you did. You can pretty much see the snow piling up, that's how hard it's coming down. 12" is a lock at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner587 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 couple updates here...snow is lightening up A BIT here in central westchester still probably 1-2in/hr. We've picked up around 6in with round 2 and total for the day is about 10.0 give or take a couple tenths of an inch. I walked out into a relatively sheltered area and snow depth was up to my mid thigh..I'm a pretty tall guy 6'0 so thats gotta be over 20in depth...pretty damn impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ict1523 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 All I know is it took me about 25 minutes to shovel and by the time I got back to the steps where I started, there was a fresh inch on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 2" in the last 75 minutes, as of 11:15 pm. Wow. Pouring snow with maybe 1/8 mile visibility right now. 5.5" from Part 1 and now 4.5" from Part 2 for 10.0" total. Up to 50" for the season! Radar is insane over my part of Middlesex County right now, with 35-40 DBZ echos, so I'm hoping for another 4" or more before it's over. I love snow. Double wow - as of 12:15 am, one hour later, we now have 7.5" of new snow, meaning we got 3.0" in the last hour. I think that's the most I've ever recorded, although I wasn't recording snowfall rates for the Jan 1996 storm or anything before that. I guess the radar really doesn't lie, lol - those yellows were over us for most of the last hour and I got to walk around in it for awhile. Just a deluge of snow like I've never seen before - definitely a little heavier than I recall for 12/26/10, although not as windy, so visibility was still a little better tonight, as visibility is about 200 yards right now, whereas it went down to 50 yards or less at times due to the heavy snowfall plus the wind for the 12/26 storm. Looks like only another 1-2 hours of accumulating snow. At 13.0" total right now - would love to get to 16". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner587 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 anyone want to throw out guesses for central park? they had 0.24 in one hr followed by 0.34 and already had 4in. That means they're already closing in on a foot. I'd guess they come in with 14.1 total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snywx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Minor storm for the mid-hudson valley. Credit to the GFS and NAM for consistently keeping the 0.5 isopleth across Westchester County. NCEP doing well this year. Not as solid from the Euro, UK, GGEM, and JMA in the lead in. That makes three 3-4 inch events in the past week. Lets keep in rolling this weekend and next week! Drove through Danbury and there are some massive snowpiles around there. Nice winter going on. I have no idea what your lookin at but there will be 6-10" overall in orange county... Not a bad storm after all up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner587 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dan- estimated end time for NYC/Nassau CTY??? 3AM? 5AM? thats a good timeframe you got there between 3 and 5 for sure. I think you could easily tack on 4-6 between now and then though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
