It's interesting how little pivoting has occurred with the major frontogenic band today. I guess that is to be expected with the contours at that height level generally paralleling the CT coastline without much cyclonic curvature. The result has been fairly long duration training of the heaviest reflectivity.

With this storm's snow total most of the north/west suburbs are probably near or above 10" for the seasonal snowfall... just one more snowstorm like this one and at least this winter will already be snowier than 06-07 for some places.

I think some locations near 1000ft in northern Westchester are well above 20" for the year.

Dobbs Ferry had 10" with the 10/29 event and now 5" with this storm. 15" for the winter isn't THAT bad on 1/21 with the snowiest month still to come and a potential -NAO block. That's far more than seasons such as 01-02, 97-98, or 72-73. I believe my house at 350' averages around 38" per year. I could easily see an average to above average winter in snowfall for NYC metro, especially since the 0z ECM and 12z GEFS have a semblance of a -NAO.

I agree... Especially since we have 8 good weeks left of potential..

I just heard the nanny mayor Bloomberg say that the snow didn't meet accumulation expectations and they won't need to plow ...just salt... Is this true? I thought NYC had good banding over them.

1.5 inches was it here....a case of too much arctic air. 13.5 now. But I have a good 7 or 8 inches in the woods where I x country ski so could be worse.

heavy sleet now, 35+ dbz
