Usually that’s a good sign if you ask me! Mean? It's true. It's pixie-dusting again, but the blacktop is starting to get covered. Sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things seem to be progressing even slower than modeled. I’d toss the HRRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty, but I'm not sure it's translating at the surface -- at least not yet. This storm, thus far, seems like the faded rock star trying to make a comeback but the vocals just aren't there after years of hard living/partying.

jm1220 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Snow should be picking up big time on LI soon. Radar shows that we should have 2” per hour rates at times. There could still definitely be a half foot additional to what’s there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in the day I'd say to reserve optimism since radar was deceiving, but it's starting to pick up now so you might be in for some good stuff.
