Went for a good long walk outside to enjoy this stuff....stiff NE wind and 25 F temp felt great...snow came down moderate to occasionaly heavy in the last hour......2.8" @ 9:00 AM.

Great way to enjoy it. Last year this would have been a snowpack refresher...this year so far its the main event! Think we might very well hit 5+ in our neck of the woods, all in all pretty respectable.

Mostly light snow north of Rockland/Westchester. Still looks like a few inches on the ground in the Highlands. A classic winter morning. It looks like there should be a stripe of 5-6" snows along a line from Sussex to Fairfield counties - a local maximum. But unless there is some backedge redevelopment, we're going to come in under model forecasted QPF.

montauk hwy,locally, is snow covered..

Im at 27.1 here...looks like it drops pretty quickly to our west. You can bet the streets will be overplowed and oversanded today...

Folks..another thing with this crying wolf about QPF being under model. The ASOS's out there do not do well when the temperature is well below freezing. The best way to determine that is do a melt/core sample. Before you cry model bust, think about this.

And, of course, it's mostly about banding situations; never QPF, I think every large storm has shown us that Boxing Day, February 25 2010, Jan 7 1996 as examples; banding determined them as all others.
