I kind of wish I actually measured before the snow tapered off--there is certainly less snow now than there was at like 6amish when I went to sleep. I "think" we had around 1.75" on grassy surfaces at that time.

I agree-- there was probably was a bit more than an inch here.... but Im going with one inch so far.

I'm in Piscataway and we had almost exactly 2" when I measured at 630. I'm up in Peapack now for work and it is snowing here lightly.

We had some snow flurries or very light snow here. Round 1 a no-show on central LI.

I thought maybe you would have picked more up this morning. We got about an inch here, but Im sure youll catch up and leave us behind tonight when those bands set up tonight. JC thinks your area could be in warning criteria snowfall tonight.

The UHI is nuts. Running today along the east river, before I got to the river it was just a light rain. As soon as I went under FDR, it changed to rain/snow and there was a dusting on the ground. I was like, oh ok, I guess it is changing to snow. Coming back, went back under FDR, and within a couple hundred feet just a light rain/drizzle again.

The last storm and this one were probably warning criteria snowfalls on top of the Empire State Building.

Yeah I think your area in nrn LI I presume is in better shape for perhaps 1-3". If dynamics blow up..perhaps more.

Alex is about as far south as you can get on LI. I think his town is just southeast of Hatteras and slightly to the north of Long Beach. :)

He did much better this morning because the precip didn't make it this far northeast.

It was weird though.... Bluewave, who is one block from the Ocean was at 37 and rain while it was 33 and snowing here-- only a 2 mile difference. Weird spring stuff (although we saw this last February also-- must be a late season cold SST thing.) I like that the SREF went south for us, maybe all of LI can get at least advisory level snowfall tonight.

Could be.

Read it and weep. Hopefully, we'll get better results with R2.

Heh, my 0.7 inch measurement was right on the money-- although it was taken an hour after snowfall ended.

edit: they measured that at 8 AM? Then it was two hours after it ended so perhaps some of it had melted before that measurement.

I thought he was further north. He's going CIA on us by not having his location.
