1/23-24/16 #1 All Time KNYC Snowfall-please add Obs, Accums, Pics

[danstorm]

Ewr to NYC just destroyed... S+ here in Montclair ... Up at 430 and of course couldn't sleep, it's that snowdrenaline

[Metasequoia]

Probably pretty close to definition of blizzard in Financial district. Wouldn't even know where to measure the snow. Drifts are already making walking difficult. Perfect storm so far!

[danstorm]

Just measured 4.5 btw but tough to be sure

[wxman]

I'm going to say 6.75" is best guess now. 23.7 degrees.

[Allsnow]

As of 6:30 am, we have 7.5" (average of about 20 measurements, which is needed when it's this windy) on the ground, which means we've been getting over an inch per hour since 3 am (4.5" in 3.5 hrs). Took me about 45 minutes for shovel #2 and it was ripping 30-40 dBZ for part of that time, with <1/4 mile visibility, i.e., heavy snow. 23F out there. Damn it's gorgeous and now the sun's coming up, so we all get to see it better now.

I'm on rt 1 by main st and can't see across the road

[Metasequoia]

I'm guessing 4 ft to 6 ft drifts won't be uncommon with this blizzard.

[SnoSki14]

I'm at 8" though incredibly tough to measure. If this continues into the night then there's no doubt we hit 2'.

So the actual depth would be something around 6 to 8 inches? That's just my feel...so scientific.

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

Stupid snow NYC got into an accident on the way in ruined my day

[ebwx]

Getting crushed amazing morning.  Winds roaring every minute 

[BxEngine]

Holy crap that line came in hard up here. 900' visibility and heavy snow.

This isn't even the worst of it just yet. Amazing.

[Rtd208]

Very heavy snow falling here, estimating around 9"-10" of accumulation.

I woke up around the same time. Tried to fall back asleep but couldn't.

Severe blizzard, life threatning, to the point of ingesting snow as you breathe, easily 2-3 inches per hous in Kew Gardens Queens, 6 inches+ OTG. Visbility is worse than what you DONT see in this picture: under 30 feet

You driving?  Thought you lived on/near Amboy Ave in Edison by the TPK, but maybe that's my bad memory.  Yeah, I live on Lake in Metuchen and I can barely see Tommy's Pond across the street.  I golf a lot and I know what 200 yards is by eyeball pretty damn well and visibility right now is definitely <220 yards or <1/8 mile (estimated 180 yard visibility).  Heavy, heavy snow.  

[stockmanjr]

Folks are walking in the street on 23rd by the FDR as the sidewalks have become impassable. Lots of cars are just sitting on the FDR currently..Someone didn't get the memo about the storm.

[Snowshack]

Moderate snow now, 2" otg. 27f. Wind really starting to howl.

[danstorm]

Wow now we're pushing 6, probably 2/hr

I'm not worried. But it's on radar.

Are we supposed to dry slot? Just from looking at it on my phone, not only is it racing north but it looks like it's going to cover all of jersey and up into new york

[BxEngine]

2" per hr rates easily even up here. Wind just gusted over 35 here at 500' too.

[Kaner587]

As of 710 am 6.0 at central park
