How long did you have thundersleet for? Im just west of you, and I only really noticed it between 7:30 and 8:30, and somewhere between 8:30 and 9 it changed over to all snow, but by then there was no more lightning and thunder.

House in Astoria, Queens had 1" this morning and .5" yesterday morning for a total of 1.5"

Here in Bayside, Queens at work, 1.5" this morning on ground and .5" yesterday morning for a total of 2". Some side streets and sidewalks are still covered and white.

Not bad at all for late March.

With the extensive cloud cover and weak CAA, temps holding 4-5F below NAM MOS in NYC/LI/NE NJ. The mid-level clouds are steadily clearing from the north, but given the slow start I can't see temps reaching the forecast high of 45F in Central Park. In fact, I think they'll be lucky to exceed 40.

if there's more Sun than clouds this afternoon I could see 40+ in Newark and possibly NYC...The Sun is out now by me and my temperature is 35...

yeah he drop the ball. I had a soil temp of 50 and ended up with 2 on the grass and close to a inch on paved surfaces. He said he be shock if his back yard got more then a slushy coating. It did and now he is trying to lobby his case with time square.

I was off a little, but I still had a good point with temps. Let's take a look at Somerville. They received about 1.00 of QPF from this event. How much of it ended up being snow that accumulated? I believe Somerville received about 2 or 2 and a half inches of snow. So only a couple inches on the ground despite an inch of QPF. So a TON of accumulation was lost due to temps being too warm. I had the right idea about a lot of accumulation being lost with temps not quite good enough. Did I take it a little too far? YES. My dusting to an inch call was a little off. We got a little more accumulation than I thought we would. But it's not as if I was THAT far off. I was too low, but there were other people that were too high. 1 to 3 obviously ended up being the best forecast for our area, and kudos to folks that predicted that. So Allsnow, I hope we can move on here and agree that while I had some good ideas, I was off a little bit as well. More accumulation than I expected, but a lot of the event was rain/sleet and a lot of accumulation was lost due to temps.

Anyway, late season snow like this isn't quite as fun because of how quickly it melts. I look outside right now, and you wouldn't even know it snowed. All of the light accumulation is gone. It was still very nice for a brief time, but early season snow is more fun because it sticks around longer (in general) and you have the comfort of knowing that most of the winter is ahead.
