nzucker Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Measurement is in a slight drift on garbage can, so I'd say we have about 5.5" here in the Pelham Parkway area of the Bronx. Very windy at times with near whiteout conditions, treacherous indeed--saw a large SUV totalled on my street from skidding out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerman262 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 There are a ton of trees down throughout midtown and Lower manhattan. A NYPD officer was reportedly struck by a tree at 2nd Avenue and east 35th street. All the roads are covered. Traffic not really moving at all buses getting stuck.

NorthShoreWx Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 4.1" here measured on a snowboard at 5:30 PM. Still snowing but much lighter now (6:10PM). Just for grins, I stuck the ruler lightly in the grass near the snowboard and got 5.9". I could have probably pushed it in a little harder and measured 7" if I was trying to inflate the inflated total. This tells me 2 things. I need to mow the lawn when the snow melts and there are going to be a lot of BS totals reported for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compaction, yes. Can the "official" spotters just decide to measure when it changes? I did, because I wanted to know how much we had. Seems to make sense that one can in order to know what the max depth in a storm was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 This is what can happen when forecasters play it super conservative. 90% of the public was completely unprepared along with most road crews. No excuse for this in an area that gets on average 30-40” of snow per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You announced that Nassau County would be mostly rain before you went to bed last night. NAM was showing 6" for Nassau at that time. Yours wasn't an unreasonable forecast and I assume you had more reasons than just being conservative for making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC there were a couple pros on here last night who discussed the potential for this to overperform. The dew point last night in Boston was 1...that was a pretty good indication of things to come. Also these overrunning snows from the south always seem to overperform and are poorly forecasted by the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair but given how rare these November storms are I’m not surprised most people, including myself, were skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
