I’m thinking we have a good chance to stay away from the dry slot in northern Westchester... does anybody agree?

I don’t agree. But you have a while to go until dryslot

I'm in New Providence, NJ in Union County .and just measured around 16" on my deck. I am not a trained spotter or anything, it was just with a tape measure. It's still snowing a ton here. 

[omo_yankee]

I wouldn’t worry about the dry slot south of long island. If the models are right it’s gonna fill in!? 

Might be trying to a little. Hopefully that keeps up. Still snowing hard here for now. 

[LibertyBell]

Visibility is a lot higher now, there's still some snow, with a lot of wind and a quick burst of sleet from to time.  Skies are also brighter now than they were before.  28 here...winds out of the NE gusting to 35

No more snow straight sleet here in NB

I'm still seeing the 7am report.. anyone??

[NJwx85]

About 10" OTG here in Southern Rockland County. Visibility is down to about a quarter mile.

[Gravity Wave]

No sleet on the UES, just a few pings of graupel 15 minutes ago.

[A_Status]

10.5" in Flatbush, Brooklyn.  Light snow/sleet combo.

[NJsnow89]

No one expected sleet here in Piscataway. Kudos to the HRRR for showing this. 

[nycwinter]

Sleet with some snow mixing in down in South Old Bridge, NJ

Hope it changes back soon.

Pivot starting to show on Mt Holly radar.

1:00 from Mt. Arlington

 

17.5" storm total and current depth

Up 3" in 2 hours.

Temp 22

Drifting to 24" on exposed NE side of house.

[Euripides]

Lol at the pivot pic.

[SI Mailman]

exactly a foot with heavy sleet

[psv88]

12.5" here in NW Suffolk, 28*, S+

[weatherbear5]

Precip trying to form again south of LI. Hopefully that congeals and pivots northward

[NJwx85]

The next 8-12 hours are going to be the height of the storm. System has begun to pivot as evidenced by the band of snow moving Southeastward back towards the Lakewood/Toms River area.

Yup. I think it's the mid level lift pivoting away from some and therefore no/fewer snowflakes can form. Lower level lift would cause sleet pellets to form. If there's a heavier batch it probably goes back to snow. It's not warm air surging in at mid levels this time IMO. 

[snywx]

Snow has picked up in intensity.. The show is beginning up here

[kat5hurricane]

Snow is much lighter in Whitestone. I'm about to head out with the dog so I'll see how much has fallen, I'd guess about 11-12" based on area reports. 

It looks like we won't hit those 20+ inch totals in and around the city, or even 15+ unless these bands pivot through which seems unlikely if the storm stalls and eventually occludes.

It's trying. Hopefully we all can get another good burst out of that. 

[winterwarlock]

precip has lightened considerably in my area...almost nothing now

[omo_yankee]

cmon when is the sleet going away

[Northof78]

Heavy Snow (around 1.5" - 2"/hr. or so); with approximately 11" - 12" OTG, will measure later. 

[Jt17]

I'm pretty sure many have forgotten just how long a duration this storm is going to be. It's going to pivot and heavy returns will make its way back through. Patience folks. Currently puking snow here in Flushing Queens.
