Heavy snow has commenced!

[jaysoner]

Flakes began falling here in Carlstadt/Moonachie, NJ at 3:45 PM

That's the Meadowlands in southern Bergen County, 6 miles due west of midtown Manhattan.

It's picked up ever so slightly over the past hour or so. Can't wait 'til it really starts hammering us We're way over due for bonafide blizzard.

Just got in from a ride around town and a bit on 287 and it's pretty slick out there with the cold temps (24F) and the snow sticking easily and probably melting/refreezing some.  Saw a couple of spin-outs locally and even 287 is starting to get a little slushy.  1" already on the ground in Metuchen at 4 pm, which is certainly early.  

As of 5 pm we had 1.5" and it was still 24F in Metuchen.

Light snow has begun to cover the ground in Park Slope. Holding steady at 27.

Approaching ~.75-1” now in Sullivan, don’t expect much above 3-5 to happen tonight into the earliest portions of tomorrow. This is shaping up to be a good storm for us and something legitimately special for folks closer to NYC/LI

westfield near 22

Still virga here in Holbrook, Long Island 

[Northof78]

Some bigger flakes now here just over the border in Essex....hopefully it’s on it’s way

[NorthShoreWx]

6:13PM 22F (-5.5C) cloudy

Smithtown, NY (central LI, north shore)

[Snowlover11]

Stray flurries here in Yonkers.

[Byrdhousebv]

Nearly 2 inches for the hors devours, now dinner, then the main show.....  

[Burrito27]

A lot more on the ground than I expected this early. 3ish inches OTG so far. Moderate to Heavy snow. 25 in Monmouth County. 

[NorthShoreWx]

Going by the radar I am looking at (CoD) not even virga here at the moment.  The echos to the west (presumably virga) are hitting a wall in Nassau and getting beaten back by the dry air in place.  DPs locally seem to be around +8 or 9 with surface air temp steady at 22 (Smithtown).

For the places where the snow has been reaching the surface for a little while, has there been any wetbulbing of the surface temps or is the WAA offsetting that?

[kat5hurricane]

Not a flake yet in Whitestone. Eagerly awaiting

[STORMANLI]

Eyeballing 2.5-3” now. Will go back out at 8:00 p.m to measure. 

[Allsnow]

2-3 inches down with mod snow currently. Great appetizer snow before the main show.
