Obs and nowcast Major Nor'easter near blizzard Sunday afternoon Jan 31 - Sunrise Wednesday Feb 3

[jm1220]

Up to about 6" now, some places slightly more, some less. Wind's picking up pretty significantly and starting to blow the snow around. Light to borderline moderate I'd say

[HeadInTheClouds]

17 with light snow. 2 inches otg so far. 

[Heisy]

Wonder if the oranges will hold into N Nj or maybe shift west with more of a wnw movement. 

[bluewave]

Getting heavy snow now in SW Suffolk and 31.3°. The snowfall rate rapidly increased in the last 15 minutes with this 40 DBZ band.

We’re about 80% sleet here in NB now

when you have large buildings around you it can cause a misconception of snowfall rates.

that park is in the Flatiron District

That makes sense. I am completely unfamiliar with NYC.

I've only said it once. But, it could be camera thing? But I doubt it. Watch it live yourself.

It’s also possible it could be snowing much harder in parts of queens and LI than Manhattan. The bands are coming in off the ocean and expected to move nw

You keep saying that but the returns say otherwise. I'm here in queens and it's puking snow. I think the camera can make it look like it's snowing more or less heavily than it actually is depending on a few various factors...

I'm in the northwestern bronx and its been puking snow for almost 3 hours now. Easily above 7 inches,maybe even 8.. mega bands are also incoming..either way I predict over 20 inches for the bronx..some spots over 2 feet.

Radar is insane

I just saw it.  The camera is focused on her so naturally the snowflakes are not in focus and that's why you can't see them as well.  She just said she measured 6 inches of snow there.

Absolutely ripping in the UWS

[LibertyBell]

lol her camera just went out, thank god.

I'm in Riverdale. Definitely concur. Last night underperformed up here due to dry air, but this morning has more than made up for it.

[LibertyBell]

winds getting really gusty now

[EasternLI]

Easily Moderate snow right now. Looks to get nuts here shortly based on radar.

...temp holding steady @ 30.4*..actually dropped 3 tenths from 30.7*.

moderate snow..about 4-5" OTG

[wdrag]

Wantage NJ 8 S of HP 6.5" at 920A... up to 21F. off line shortly for 90 min snow removing. 

[Phillycane]

Pouring snow here in the Upper East Side.  Unless there is a dramatic difference within 3 miles in Manhattan, it's likely a camera or building illusion in the coverage down in Madison Square Park.

[Blizzardo]

If there's a storm thats going to break 96' this is it! Holy smokes!

[A_Status]

Moderate-borderline heavy snow in Flatbush, Brooklyn.  6.5" so far. 

[Islandersguy]

Up here in white plains we’re getting crushed. I have a building about .2 of a mile away and I cannot see it. As long as we don’t mix I’m looking for 18+. Let it snow!

[Santa Claus]

we got some clumped flakes like 2"... i thought wind was supposed to help reduce flakes sizes but we got some dinner plates coming down.

this Kia in the parking lot thinks he's gonna drive somewhere.  he ain't going anywhere lol.

[T5403CG]

Just was watching Jen Carfagno on WC. ( SO HOT!) She is in Madison Square Park in NYC. Not sure where that is? But anyway, it is snowing so much heavier here than there. 

That would be 26th and Madison... Lower midtown...

Some nice gusts now 

[CoastalWx]

NYC crush job in progress. Good luck and congrats! Been a long time there.

[JustinRP37]

This is great! Ripping snow here. Although the sad thing is covid 'killed the snow day' since many can now work remotely. Even so, I will take some time off to get outside and play in the snow with my 2 year old who is beyond excited. 

[SnoSki14]

Getting a lot of sleet now for whatever reason.

I’m at border of Yonkers/Bronx near Woodlawn it’s snowing but I wouldn’t say puking snow.
