HRRR insists that this event lasts 1-2 hours at the very most. Wonder if we get some rumbles of thunder with the dynamics moving northward. My gut tells me that will stay south of Philly. 

 

Thundersnow has been reported as far north Hazeltown,PA, already.

This area of precip is on leading of greater instability. NAM has TTs at 56 for NYC late this afternoon. Which looks slow:

What type of an advisory were you looking for?

 

We've had 3 hours, at least in my area, of moderate to occasionally heavy rain, sleet, and snow with surface temps in the 20's.  To me that would justify a short fused winter or freezing rain advisory.  But almost the entire Albany county warning area seems to have had mostly snow from this, so maybe that's why they didn't issue one.

 

Here's a pic from a short while ago, the roads are a mess
