She's cruising, done by noon 

Cruising indeed. Thought we'd have snow here in Eastern PA until about noon, but it looks to be out of "here" by 9:00am.

[jm1220]

The back edge should slow a little as the storm bombs but yeah, the rapid movement's been one of the features of this thing. But wow, it's coming down here. 

[weatherpruf]

So if its outby noon, how the heck do we get to 8 inches or more? It's coming down, but it's not that epic....

[Zelocita Weather]

Yeah, for eastern half of jersey/NYC snow should be done by 2-3pm, but heaviest now thru 11am

Not me. I'm a SETTS (special ed) tutor/teacher at Calhoun, and I cancelled my sessions for today long before the DOE called off all NYC schools. Just not a smart idea to travel in a blizzard. It's good to work hard at your passion but there's a time to stay in bed and drink hot cocoa too.

Seems as if a little more mixing than expected will have to be compensated by extremely heavy snow rates. This thing is trucking.

Suffolk county Yaphank nothing falling about an inch on the ground

What do you see on the ground up there? Grass is still poking through here....

Surprising. Nearly 2" up here already just to your north. Pouring wind blown snow. Been all snow since 5

Just some light snow here in SW Suffolk right now with visibility maybe 3/4 to 1 mile.

Grass is fully covered here, 2" or so...

[aldie 22]

Can barely see across the street...serious dump going on

[donsutherland1]

Heavy snow in Larchmont in southern Westchester County. Probably between 1/8- and 1/4- mile visibility.

People aren't passionate, they are intimidated. I'm in education too. well sort of, I'm a social worker in the schools, so off today. But even Rutgers shut down and that's rare, mainly due to timing. Amounts of snow wasn't the reason; it's terrible driving out.

Temp 27° w/ heavy snow 

5.8" otg

[aldie 22]

So many cars on the road...eh...it's just snow

[F5TornadoF5]

Visibility down to 1/4th mile, heavy snow. Eyeballing 2in. Windy, looking like a blizzard. Snow flakes getting larger. 30.2 temp in Syosset.

There's not enough on the ground here in CNJ to keep most workers home, and if it ends by afternoon, they will have an easier commute. Easy to talk yourself into going esp if you think the boss will give you grief, and many will.

S+ amazing 

[jm1220]

Latest HRRR has good snow from the city east until 1pm or so. The back edge should slow down as the storm matures offshore. Snow amounts are still 12" or more from NYC across LI. It's going to absolutely dump.

5.0" even here... even if this baby is done by 10am (which I think we're wrapping up around 10-11) I should hit 10"

[Juliancolton]

The mid-upper level frontogenesis and convergence are every bit as impressive as forecast:

[ag3]

Heavy snow here. Visibility less the .25 mile.

[brooklynwx99]

The storm is down to 994 off the Delmarva.

Chill out man. First you were upset about the change over now concerned about the back edge. Just relax and enjoy. It's ripping right now

11z HRRR has 6-8" falling from 6-9am for the HV. 12-14" is likely 

[nyblizz44]

CPK 2 inches as of 7am

Or you work for an organization that's actually obnoxious about not going in because of the weather. My kids and I have a snow day on LI but my wife is being forced to go in. They won't even start late.

Out here in Yaphank Suffolk county about an inch on the ground and a light rain

In a bit of a lull as per radar here, and there is some sleet now. Seems to be a product of losing the good lift more than anything though, as it was all snow before the break.

Almost all universities and schools are closed because the event started right before the morning commute. De Blasio cancelled public schools at 6pm, which precipitates a lot of other closings. And yes, this is a scared workforce in America, even though we put in far more hours than any similar country.

It's pretty early in the storm. There's only about 1-2" down in most of the metro area. I'm sure there'll be less traffic by 9-10am when things get real dicey. This isn't Virginia though...we've seen at least one major snowstorm in each of the last 4 winters. 11-12 was the only winter not to have an 8"+ event in NYC...13-14 had four such events (1/3, 1/24, 2/3, 2/14), five in the Bronx which had 8" in the Dec storm that year.
