Maybe? But either way, what does it matter?

it's a badge of honor really.  Most are at home today, whether it's a blizzard warning or WSW means little at this point

Dont think thats mix on the hrrr later tnite. 

I noticed that but I think it's more of a low level dry air intrusion given the close proximity of the MLC.

Snow getting really heavy here. 

I don't know why there's so much talk of a little sleet mixing in tonight. Who cares? The bulk of the heaviest stuff will be done by then. This is going to be a historic snowstorm for many whether it's 20 inches or 25-30 inches. Just enjoy it because you don't know when we'll see one like this again.

Just came in from using snowblower. Hard to say how much is out there but I would say 6-9 inches somewhere and snowing very hard. Wind gusting to about 35mph and temp. is 29.5

0 reason we are not under a blizzard warning would’ve been verified already 

Correct. ISP reporting blizzard conditions last 2 hours, one more hour and they have it, and they will.

Damage is mostly done by then.   You'd lose an inch or two of snow to sleet on top of 20 inches.  Big deal.

yes it's academic, sometimes the areas with a little mixing actually get the most snow, that makes it well worth it

Sounds cool 

Yes. True! Lol

[mannynyc]

Already in the last few minutes snow has picked up where I am in lower Manhattan. If that band stalls over Manhattan we could really be in for a treat.

Right now this seems to be a central N.J. to mid Hudson Valley storm, including eastern Pa.

very impressive. it's consolidating right over the metro

Reminds me of Boxing Day in the metro region, though that storm plastered coastal areas with the worst ( I think Brick had 36 inches, as did Elizabeth ). It just kept pivoting over the city IIRC.

Curious How far north do the 40 DBz gets ,band extending west from metro etc will jackpot especially towards pa border.

Remember when I said I never want blocking ever again ? Without it , this would have been a cutter.

Mjo812 fail

Yes but I still was right suppression was a bigger danger than too warm with this.we ended up with a more amped scenario and  It is going to mix maybe after dumping 1 to 2 feet

Yeah, agree. This is a blizzard. 

[jm1220]

Getting absolutely crushed now. Wow. 

[Blizzardo]

This is Bonkers! Im going to get my 30 and Im gonna like it!

[Gravity Wave]

Getting heavier, that band over Queens should be here soon.

[MJO812]

The roads are awful right now

 

A few vehicles are stuck in the middle of the street.

[omo_yankee]

We still have a long way to go up here, no worry about a slot either. Should hit 25"

[kat5hurricane]

This is approaching January 2016 rates, not quite but getting close. Dumping right now.

winds was stronger in the boxing day storm and that storm was all snow their was no chance of any mixing in the city/ also a side not e the sanitation workers had a slow down during the blizzard that why some streets were not plowed for days..

Most likely. Heavy snow falling here, and those heavy bands are not even here yet.
