NYC measurer already dropping the ball. 5pm Climo report only has 1.3 inches. We certainly picked up about 2.4-2.7 IMO

Mt. Holly's observers are instructed that they only "have" to report at the 4 synoptic times and midnight, so that's probably the total through 18Z.

You just won't get a massive well organized band on the back edge of a system that is not fully closed off most of the time.

Im doing research on large well ogranized snow storms and it doesnt need to be closed off at 500mb. Look at the mesoanalysis graphics, its closed off as high as 700mb.

Why is everyone complaining about the radar?

I can see many of the dry areas filling in during the next few hours.

I'm with you, KDIX radar is looking good and W LI into NYC & NJ are going to be getting some good returns over them as the dry holes are filling in. Just need the column to get cooled again and the flakes should fly.

Is there any dry air at 700mb on anything you're seeing, I know sometimes in these systems some dry air wraps onto the NW side and kills the precipitation on the backside.
