Should have stayed in Laurel Hollow tonite  

 

I remember one of these squalls back in  the 80's that came in during the afternoon and the sky got as dark as a summer

thunderstorm with flakes as big as quarters and low visibilities peaking for about 10-20 minutes.

thanks can you post the annimated link ? The wunderground radar I posted was animated and you can also zoom in to your area

You animate using the product menu tab on the top left. Here's one for NJ

People need to be careful. Models have NYC above freezing and in the mid to upper 30s as the precip moves in.

LI is close to 40 degrees.

 

While it will cool down for whoever gets under the band, it will have a very hard time accumulating for the 1st half hour or so and this "event" has very limited precip.

 

The actual accumulating snow will be very limited to a small area and a lot of areas will begin as rain/slop.

Those temps are probably overdone. 4km NAM and 12km NAM have temps in the to mid 30's for highs, and low 30's when the precip arrives. A lot of models over do the surface warmth on LI.

The spots that get under the best band will probably plunge from the mid-30's to around freezing

in a few minutes enhancing the icy road threat as any initial slush will freeze solid behind the front.

The CAA is very strong with the steep lapse below 800 mb.

any accumulation will likely be just north of the city, surface temps will be warm as stated above.

 

The snowfall will accumulate anywhere the rates are heavy enough as the dews will be in the teens and surface

temps plunge in a few minutes to near freezing.

Good to hear from you, man. Hope all is well.

All is indeed good. Love life in NYC. Just need a dump of fresh powder in Central Park. I didn't make it out after the snows this week and while running in the park Sunday in the 70 degree temps was shocked to see that the ponds had been frozen.

15z HRRR now out, little more consolidated with snowfall but a stripe of 2-3" now for eastern LI. Models are all over the place. Little less than an inch for everyone else
