There has been a notable blind spot in S Queens in Nassau, JFK until recently never had VIS below 3-4SM. The SPC WRF sort of picked up on that dry nose in that area as well, I think you'll eventually catch up here shortly.

some patches in the radar near allsnow which is probably why some have sleeted down there, it may switch back with heavier echos

but for the city on north, this band coming together now was well modeled and will up the totals pretty quick, except for metfan.

C'mon I'm near metfan like 15 min that's not fair!

Flake size picking up, as is intensity here in Greenwich Village. Just took a beautiful walk through Washington Square Park where the snow was virtually untouched. Didn't measure, but estimating 1.5".

Probably 5/8 mi. SN- right now but teetering on moderate. Liking the look of radar and the 850 frontogen signal. Things unfolding as expected for this event.

The dry slot may be the cause of the farther north PL/FZRA line than some thought, thats the one aspect of dry slots people tend to overlook, they are somewhat of a problem in borderline events because they can allow warming in the atmosphere to advance a bit beyond expectations. It sort of killed the Oct 2011 event here by allowing the BL to modify.
