KingofQueens Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Queens is still really wet. And the snow is like sparkly dust. I dont think that is conducive to accumulation in above-freezing temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsor Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks for the report. Always nice to see how elevation and greater latitude can make a huge diff. on the north Shore of LI. I grew up in East Hills at ~250 ft elevation, about 2 miles north of you. about 4 inches on grass here in n nassau. Plows out, major highways snow covered too 32 S+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Back to solid moderate. I think I will win the battle of the South Shore. But I have not a candle on the North Shore. I am at a solid inch with everything including roads covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 2.25" and climbing here, probably an inch per hour in the good banding? Just had the first plow go by, probably have close to 1" on the roads, steady SN continues. Can't imagine that schools will be open tomorrow here, with the worst of it being right during the morning rush, I think they would be silly to open, a delay dosen't accomplish much. Upton just raised totals pretty substantially NE of the city, looks like around 20% higher here, much more in westchester and north. I'm feeling like the city is going to bust low, it's just too warm in the heat island to fight off the melting. if I was to revise my map, I would put them in 1-2". I'm going to bust bad in orange/rockland county, I only had 2-3"/3-5" there. Upton's Map below. Going to bed for a few hours, should see the nice stuff in the morning. Good night and good luck to all! think snow!!! - -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Puppet Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Since the temperature refuses to go below freezing, I don't see any accumulation by me. Congrats to those out of the City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowlover11 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 3.4" on the grass, 1.7" on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Finally. Never been so happy to see 1/2" of snow in my life. Big gorgeous flakes floating down and accumulating on the colder surfaces - just took a nice walk, threw a few snowballs, caught some snowflakes in my mouth, etc. . If we can sustain this for a few hours, we'll get into the 2-4" called for by the NWS on the map. I'll honestly be happy with 1-2" after all the heartache with this system so far. Wish I were in the Hudson Valley, though - looks like you guys have been getting plastered. Oh my goodness, it's been ripping for the last 90 minutes and we've gone from 1/2" to almost 3" in that time - it's interesting, as it's not the heaviest snow ever in terms of visibility, but the flakes are huge and I think it might be one of the lowest bulk density snows I can remember, as the snowflakes are not packing in at all and you can even see lumps on the surface from aggregated snowflakes - almost like cotton candy - wish I knew how to post pics. It's simply spectacular looking outside right now and the radar still looks good for us for at least awhile. Snow is even starting to accumulate on paved surfaces.

Snow_Miser Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What a pleasant surprise after sleeping for four hours. Moderate to heavy snow now with 20-25 Dbz reflectivities overhead. I'd estimate a little over an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe how much is out there. Pictures tomorrow will be beautiful. What's our total so far? Def close to 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow_Miser Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Looks like there are two bands setting up over New Jersey. One from Mercer all the way to NE Warren County, Another from Northern Ocean to eastern Sussex. Enjoy this guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def close to 2 Gotta go measure - from inside I figured we had 2", but then I got outside and saw how fluffy the snow was laying and my measurements were between 2.75 and 3.0" as of 15 minutes ago, so I'm sure we're up to 3" on average now, as it hasn't let up. Radar looks good for at least the next 30 minutes - would love to get to 4 or 5" overnight. People who wake up at 8 am and see 2" of melted compressed snow simply aren't going to believe how much we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It was a nice gift, 1.5" in old bridge, a nice end to the season that ill gladly take. I'm not sure if radar will fill in some more so we"ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwx21 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Wow, what a difference just a few miles to the northwest of where you guys are. 2 to 3 inches? I only have 1 inch here in Piscataway. Still, it looks great out there with the wet snow coating everything. A beautiful scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
