WeatherFox Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Let me put out a weather advisory. Drive safely, especially on side streets. It just takes a little black ice to cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Areas well to our south and west are still getting sleet/snow. We should be able to squeeze another couple of hours out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherFox Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Upton's forecast for tonight doesn't make sense at all here... not sure why it's showing that: The challenge of forecasting winter precipitation. They are stuck now because if they update it will change to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSuburbs Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Let me put out a weather advisory. Drive safely, especially on side streets. It just takes a little black ice to cause problems. There's definitely dangerous traveling conditions outside, most of the streets are covered in a slippery dusting which I'm sure a lot of drivers were not expecting for tonight...

earthlight Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The heavier precipitation is definitely sleet and parachutes. Otherwise it's been light sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The challenge of forecasting winter precipitation. They are stuck now because if they update it will change to rain. It was pretty obvious there was gonna be some wintry precip pretty far south. Dew points were in the single digits and teens earlier this afternoon.

Brian5671 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 What about the forecast is a bust? There will be plenty of rain tomorrow. Here's my forecast-no metion of accumulating snow-we have a 1/2 inch and roads are snowcovered...town is likely scrambling to get salt trucks out-tomorrow's forecast is fine-they bloew this b/c the precip moved in faster and is all snowhere Tonight: Periods of rain before 1am, then periods of rain and sleet. Low around 29. Southwest wind between 11 and 13 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Agree, but the NYC forecast (I believe) for the 5 boroughs did not call for snow in the official forecast and for no accumulation in the official forecast.

RutgersWx92 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Continues to sleet here. A coating of sleet is on everything. It's been almost all sleet, very little snow. Interesting that places farther NE in the NYC area are getting snow; I guess that's because the WAA is coming from the SW. Looks like a dry slot is moving in now.

That's nothing here's my forecast: Periods of rain and sleet this evening...then periods of rain. Breezy and not as cool. Near steady temperature in the mid 30s. Southwest winds 15 to 20 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. So the part of the forecast that was a bust are the slick conditions that were not predicted for many of us this evening. No one expected to be seeing snow tracks on the streets within the 5 boroughs tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just under half an inch in western Putnam County. It's a beautiful night outside. Currently in the midst of another moderate burst of snow but it looks like our lift will subside/ move off the the east in an hour or so. Slightly longer for the metro. This first batch was mostly frozen but I expect some freezing drizzle and mosly rain/freezing rain later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight...Periods of rain and sleet this evening...then periods of rain. Not as cool. Near steady temperature in the mid 30s. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.
