Sampson Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Amazing how accurate the models were leading up to this event. I can't recall an event in recent history where virtually all the models were so consistent in the days that preceded. 2 measurements taken in Manhasset Hills, Nassau County..... 2 and 2.2" 25F/22F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Looks like after those bands pass might be over for nyc 2-3 hours to go imo http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/northeast/weather-radar?play=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 So many around your area are reporting 3"+. The grass is barely covered here so I wouldn't doubt his obs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris L Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I would guess 2-3" has fallen around here. But I have not measured it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPizz Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm by New Brunswick under some of those heavy echos, and I'm happy to report that it's all snow right now. Heaviest snow of the event and big flakes. Same here across the river. Nice mod. Snow with large flakes. Temp has dropped 1.5 since I woke up at 730 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEaster27 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 looks like this is basically over in an hour for the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Storm is moving fast. NYC should be done by 12 or so. NYC has 2.5" or so. That band will drop 1-2" more. Let it end. 3.5" to 4.5" is what was expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshack Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 i doubt manhattan has 2.5 but lets see what the spotter says I measured 2.5" only 3 miles east of them about half hour ago. NYC reported 1.3" at 7am. LGA 1.4". 2 hours later, I'm sure another inch fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Rockland has been in that steadier band for a good bit now, its not too often the line sets up here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBUWX23 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 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.
