ag3 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Be careful declaring heavy bands just by looking at radar because multiple observations of little or no snow in nw jersey and people in lehigh valley saying much less is falling than radar would indicate There's a reason why the models have much less snow there. Dry air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Looks like the edge of the dry air is near the Warren/Morris/Sussex County border. Southeast of that line you should be fine for awhile. Thankfully I am southeast of there, but not by much. In the meantime, down to flurries at the moment in Ramsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Mod snows will continue in the NYC area fir about another 90 minutes if I had to guess then the rates will start dropping off, after 3-4pm I would expect it to rapidly begin lightening up.

bluewave Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Three milestones for NYC (Central Park): 3.4": Would bring March's snowfall to 10.0" for the first time since March 1996 5.0": Would bring seasonal snowfall to 40.0" 6.7" Would make March 2015 the snowiest March since March 1967 when 17.4" snow fell We are finally getting March cold the last few years which had been lacking especially in years like 2012 and 2010.

USCG RS Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 There is a ground stop until 1900 at LGA. The aircraft slid off the side off the runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 And stopped here, hopefully just some subsidence from the rather strong looking banding coming in from the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 There is a ground stop until 1900 at LGA. The aircraft slid off the side off the runway. I think it hit the fence that runs near the Grand Central but I'm not certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyblizz44 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Generally 3-4 inches in and around Queens, including 3.4 at LGA as of 1050am as per PNS ( naturally no measurement frpm CPK as the zoo keeper decides if he wants to torture us or not) http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSOKX&e=201503051646 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemost Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hard to believe points just to the north & west are getting shunted by dry air. I can't imagine the intense rates will last too much longer here, but the rippage continues for now. Couple nice gusts in the mix there with this band as well.

NJwinter23 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yes and just as the models had drier air modeled in the far NW, they also did not show 8-10" in NYC, soo just keep expectations reasonable here folks even if you already have 4-5".. I'm seeing a lot of reports around me of heavy snow and bigger flakes... Im down at the Battery the flakes are very tiny and its probably 0.75 MI -SN out my window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith O Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 About 5.5" here (4 miles north of 80)and may be done, temp down to 21. Despite the radar still looking good the dry air is winning and snow has just about stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeWeatherGeek Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 At work in midtown now heaviest snow of the day and windy with blowing snow. Just beautiful. About 4 inches on the ground. The roads are okay in the city, assuming it was warm yesterday and cause of the March sun. Plus you got a tone of salt in there. 26 degrees outside my job. Beautiful winter day.

cjr231 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just took a stroll outside. Taking it all in in case its the last snow of the season. I'd estimate a little over 4 inches on the ground in Madison Square Park in Gramercy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
