This is just not a storm for the coast IMO but we've been spoiled the last 15 years so can't complain too much. Ki Really? Because it is starting to accumulate on streets and sidewalks here in Woodhaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax The models? It's halfway through the game, just look at the radar. It's neither time to commit suicide nor hug the 12-18" in the RGEM was printing out. I think there's a solid chance the city sees a good 4-6" as the sun goes down and rates pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax No, I'm being realistic. Modeling had 6" here already. Several people see what's going on. I'm relaxed. Still happy with the Thundersnow and 3 or 4" I'm going to get.

dWave Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 26 minutes ago, USCG RS said: 43 minutes ago, BlueDXer75 said: There is a ton of moisture and convection off shore heading this way. The thing about convection and banding is that it tends to be intermittent at times. All the air being released has be brought back into the atmosphere and thus on either side of heavy bands, there is normally subsidence. Essentially the air is forced out aloft over the bands and this air has to go somewhere, which is either side of the banding. Thats my fear. Intermittent snow unfortunately doesnt cut it for significant snow at these temps/time of yr/time of day. I try temper my excitement when relying on very heavy snowfall rates to accumulate snow in marginal temps. I need a few inches down first around here before it can withstand any breaks in precip.

EastonSN+ Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 1 inch in Easton with snow and 33. Picked up a half inch overnight that melted. So 1.5 between the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat5hurricane Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just now, seanick said: Really? Because it is starting to accumulate on streets and sidewalks here in Woodhaven. Nope, all wet on the streets and the sidewalks. Even most of the grass is bare, a bit of slush on the cartops. The rates just aren't dynamic enough to overcome the wet ground. I really don't mean to be one of the complainers but this storm has been a big dud thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetbulbs88 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 For the city, this will come down to how long this thing pivots before pulling out. I honestly think LI is in a better position than the city, being farther east during this lull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Eric is right. Even here in the Bronx, minus that hour of +(TS)SN, I've had basically white rain the whole storm.

I think the storm is mostly slower, not weaker, than expected. We always thought the highest totals would be inland over NNJ and Rockland, and that hasn't changed. But there's not much reason to back away from a 8-12" forecast for NYC. The radar looks ANGRY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been heavy here since about 12:15 but I'm only up to 2.5" meanwhile other spots have 6-10 already and others have less than 1. 10+ is not happening.
