Rt 17 is closed up by me exit 109 .. Multiple car accidents , tractor trailer flipped over .. its a like a scene from a movie just looking at it all..

 

 

I heard there was a fatality in that accident. Some reports of even police cars ending up in ditches on the side of the road.

Looks pretty good...with the 6z NAM trying to cancel the snowstorm Id take 2-4" and run...although Ive got a feeling it will be a little higher than that. 29/24 here...holding the cold air pretty well.

 

He has me getting 4-8" with the 8" line nearby.. No way in hell lol. Many of us will be lucky to see 1-2" let alone 8"

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE STRONG COASTAL LOW BECOMES NEARLY STATIONARY AROUND LI THIS
EVENING INTO WED...WITH THE LOW BECOMING OCCLUDED AND STACKED ON
WED. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF LIGHT TO
OCCASIONALLY MODERATE PCPN ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW THROUGH THU.
THERMO PROFILES SUPPORT A TRANSITION OVER TO A SNOW OR A RAIN/SNOW
MIX IN THE INTERIOR TONIGHT WITH POSSIBILITY OF MINOR SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY....SPECIFICALLY
WESTERN ORANGE COUNTY.
BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS LOOK WARM ENOUGH
ON WED FOR A TRANSITION BACK TO RAIN OR A MIX NORTH AND WEST OF
NYC. ELSEWHERE...IT LOOKS TO BE MAINLY RAIN WITH A TRANSITION TO
SNOW WED NIGHT. THE 00Z ECMWF IS A BIT COLDER WITH ITS THERMO
PROFILES...BUT ONCE AGAIN THIS APPEARS TO MORE OF BOUNDARY LAYER
ISSUE THAN ANYTHING. THERE IS ALWAYS A CAVEAT AND THAT IS BEING
UNDER THE UPPER LOW WITH ENHANCED LIFT AND VERTICAL COOLING. THIS
WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY IN SUBSEQUENT MODEL CYCLES.

Ice is the pits. Luckily it's inching above 32F and the water seems to be having a harder time freezing.

Ice wasn't much of an issue in my neck of the woods.  There was a solid coating on everything but I reached 32 around 8am so its been plain rain for a couple of hours now.  Roads were slushy on the ride in but some untreated surfaces were a bit slick.

Confined primarily to areas of elevation. My kids school district ( Minisink Valley) is closed while city of Middletown schools are open. 

 

Temp still 32.0f

Man if this rain was snow......

Hoping for some white tomorrow.

 

 

Freezing rain up to Albany, NY and out Mt. Pocono. Where is the big snow that was forecasted.....

Check out DT's map. Storms not over yet but not looking very prominsing for the heavy, heavy snows.

Hopefully most people can still scrape together a few inches late tonight into tomorrow. Not sure if that even occurs at this point.

 

Best

I'm at my house near Lake George and its mostly liquid unless it gets intense and flips over for a few minutes.

I can only imagine what a board like this would have been like during the lull of the 80's when what we have today was basically winter for a number of years.  How many melt downs will occur in the main thread by this time tomorrow if there aren't any flakes in the air... 

 

Its amazing how spoiled some of these kids are now. They actually expect at least 1 major event a season lol.

It's still a kick in the balls. I had high hopes that my area would still make out well, I felt I was just far enough west to get into that deformation banding overnight into tomorrow. It sucks to go from a winter storm warning for 6-12, to possibly an inch or two.

 

However, vast majority of models were far to erratic with this setup. It was hard to put stock into anything, it was a high bust potential event from the start, and far too warm to boot.
