jm1220 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Coming down like crazy in Midtown, sidewalks are even slushing up again in the scorchiest of the heat island around Grand Central. Two of my coworkers who are from Texas are flipping out about the snow. Latest RAP has snow persisting until after 1pm. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see a number of 6"+ reports in the five boroughs and a couple of 12" reports in parts of Nassau/Suffolk that have been hammered so far.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Closing in on 5 inches and over 30 for the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner587 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 This has definitely been one of the better over performing winter weather events I can remember. You could say that again. The epic bust of some of the meso models in the short term really left a sour taste in our mouths. With wet streets and light precip I legitimately expected a coating at best in manhattan when I went to bed. Couldn't have been more surprised. It's like being a little kid again and getting a surprise snow day (jan 25 2000 comes to mind!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hey EL, Im up in Bergen county now @ work, hows the snowfall rates down there? Just let up a bit in between bands. But it's been moderate all morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Awesome pics JBG. The 8" brings me to 45" seasonal. We still have chances too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPizz Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 About 4" in Piscataway last I checked at 8am. At work now though in Bedminster area. Looks to be about the same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosh Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Just hit 6" on the nose here on the grass. Mount Earthlight is doing well! 4" in Westfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn510 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 But the totals were seeing are actually what we thought would happen all along. It just decided to come all from the second portion of the storm. Yea we all doubted our selves and what guidance was showing, but at the end we will somehow verify. about 4.5 t o5 inches in East Brunswick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Southern Nassau looks like it's getting rocked right now in this band and it looks to be trying to back-fill a little. You guys down there look to be playing catch-up to the bigger totals in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Mount Earthlight is doing well! 4" in Westfield. Take a drive into Cranford and Roselle Pk. They might have 2" on the grass there. But gradients like this are pretty typical for Union Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sferic Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 How long can it snow?, radar seems like there is no end in sight, can this go to 3pm? radar looks like it did 12 hours ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxEngine Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 That band is over 1"/hr, moderate to sometimes bordeline heavy snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosh Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Take a drive into Cranford and Roselle Pk. They might have 2" on the grass there. But gradients like this are pretty typical for Union Co. This is to be expected. Taking the train home from the city at midnight last night, had nothing sticking in newark, and already half an inch on non-paved surfaces in westfield.

96blizz Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Can anyone recall a storm - no storm - storm? Incredible. It's like the weather said "Ha! Going to skip over y'all! ---- Just kidding." Closing in on 9" here in Sussex Co. with what appears to be more coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelocita Weather Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Probably .25 vis AT MOST in central Bergen county right now, and windy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner587 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 How long can it snow?, radar seems like there is no end in sight, can this go to 3pm? Precip will probably continue until 1-2pm but accumulating snow will end by 1130-12 is my guess...from SW to NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sferic Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Precip will probably continue until 1-2pm but accumulating snow will end by 1130-12 is my guess...from SW to NE There seems no mechinism to get it out of here ,it just spirals and spirals but there is no ending line from sw or ne to end..yet. This can go into tonight. Thos mean looking echos from CT and Mass seem to making a run sw to LI and NYC/NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner587 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Upton has increased totals. Looks like the expect 3-5 NYC metro south and west with ct and Suffolk in wsw for more not sure how much though. It is still way off bc parts of northern (and even into southern Nassau now) are closing in on 6 or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can go into tonight. I don't know about that, but I woudl agree that studying the radar really makes me wonder exactly HOW right the NAM may have been leading up to this. 9" with another heavy band coming our way!

NorthShoreWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 4.5" as of 8:30AM. I just noticed the pink WSW colors for northern Nassau on the warnings map on the OKX home page. I haven't seen an actual warning yet...but it looks like they may issue that momentarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WintersGrasp Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 How long can it snow?, radar seems like there is no end in sight, can this go to 3pm? radar looks like it did 12 hours ago It won't end from west to east....it will dry up. RAP shows the drying up and hole developing in SE NY and spreading down into NJ/NYC then gradually east. What a nice surprise this storm has been though. I might have 3.5" or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yes.. the radar just keeps back building with banding. If the temps stay good through the day.. ohhh boy If it stays near this intensity, it will accumulate regardless of the time of day. April 2003's storm was like this, a month later than now and temps marginal like now, and it it stuck easy even at noon. Eventually this will start pivoting south and then out, but models seem to keep hitting esp. the city east until after 1pm with at least decent enough snow to accumulate. Eastern Suffolk has kinda been in a sucker hole so far, that should fill in soon hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
