If every storm is this stubborn this season I am either moving to Florida or northern Canada. One extreme or the other. I am hoping for 2-4 but given how many schools decided to open, I'm kind of hoping this doesn't ramp up until much later, as that would be a nightmare. 

Most schools in Westchester county either closed or are having early dismissals.

In my new job I actually have operational responsibilities requiring me to track snow :weenie:
When would the heavier snow potentially hit in the city? Is this going to derail the evening commute?
I want your job! Lol

Upton might be planning changes.  Their new TAFs for LGA JFK have mod snow now

Can we all agree to calm down the crazy descriptions of snow this year...Getting 3-5 or 6-8 inches of snow over the course of an entire day is not getting "crushed." Its a great early season storm...People go nuts with this stuff for even a couple inches...drives me crazy when a 30 inch storm and a 3 inch storm sound exactly the same if you left out the amounts and didn't look out your window, lol.

The majority were open with early dismissals right around the time models have the storm moving in. I was shocked how few districts were closed this morning. Glad many more are dismissing early, I just hope they get out before too long. I know Tuckahoe and Eastchester are still in session and planning on a full day.

The thing is it’s going to ripping in the main band during the evening commute. It may only be a 5 mile wide area, but when it’s snowing 2-3”/hr it’s going cause a nightmare commute regardless of final totals

On a serious note, this flashes back to Feb 2013. NO I AM NOT CALLING FOR 35"+. That withstanding, this type of banding during the evening commute can lead to very serious issues including main thoroughfares becoming impassible.

I would think OEM is at least considering this possibility due to the fact that - while not necessarily expected - it is possible today.

A large area is going to hit similar to a bombshell later today. It’s coming. Locally 10-12 is possible

Its already wrong.  Its 16-17Z depiction based on current radar does not have the showery look between CDW-FRG.  I'm trying to find a high res model at the moment that seems to be handling this best.  Overall the HRRR might be closest.

HRRR trended east

You beat me to it, so far the HRRR seems to be the most accurate. It did very well with yesterday’s non event on the front end

I'm not so sure, swinging slightly westward. Need some of that convective stuff over the water to swing through 

This is supposed to stop tomorrow.  Like I said , there will be multiple bands. I see no reason for panic right now.
