It's like a white rain with snow flakes mixed in but looking more snowy by the minute, looks like it's transitioning to all snow It's going to settle south to a point, hopefully it's just south of the beach. Good sign that the short term models seem to be right in making the column cold enough to keep the period of sleet brief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All snow as of about 1:40 am here in Metuchen (Edison) - coming down moderately - looks like some heavy stuff is incoming - hoping it stays as snow and doesn't transition back to sleet - anyone know if that approaching line (from the south) of 35-40 dBZ stuff is snow or sleet? Guess I'll find out in about 10 minutes. We had 1/4" of sleet (at 3-4:1 sleet to snow, that's about 0.075-0.10" LE) and have about 1/4" of snow on top of that already. Should pile up quickly if it stays all snow. 32F still. Beautiful out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a second blob of rain around Port Jefferson surrounded by snow on all sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a second blob of rain around Port Jefferson surrounded by snow on all sides. Residual warm mid level air that should get mixed out as heavier precip comes in. The very south shore was always a worry for hanging onto warm air at the surface or mid levels longer. As the low gets going offshore, that should be gone as well but it's always a question how long it lingers. Toms River is rain, where the yellow, green line on dual pol is where it's sleet. Below that is rain, and it's the same color as north of the line. On Long Island on Upton radar you can also start to see it settle south on the north shore now. Most of Nassau and my area in Suffolk is still sleet by that radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from 1/2" total to 1" total in the last 20 minutes or so. If this stays snow, looking at the radar, we'll easily make 3". As I said earlier today, they really ought to split Middlesex into 2 zones with the northern zone from about North Brunswick to Perth Amboy - that section could've been under an advisory too and it fits nicely between SI and Somerset County.

Yeah but to be fair the ones that flip over aren't the really historic ones anyway. Nothing like Feb 1983, Jan 1996, PD2 or Jan 2016. Those are worth about a thousand of the changeover ones.

(but yeah that really sucked) Long Beach definitely cashes in at times. The late March storm last winter was awesome when it went to town that night. A foot of paste on everything, and the boardwalk adds to all of it. 1/27/11 was insane for the 4 hours it dumped on us that night. Boxing Day 2010 was probably my favorite blizzard scene in LB. Jan 1996 is still my #1 snow event, but from what I heard Jan 2016 likely surpassed it. Southern Nassau/Queens was really the bullseye that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
