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.

yes and funnily long island got about half the amount of snow they did lol

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 

suspect most of the storm will be over by then, thats how it usually happens with these two day storms, most of the action happens on the first day

[EasternLI]

Incredible. 

[Northof78]

CPK (and most area airports) reporting HVY SNOW, CPK down to 0.15 vis

[Rjay]

Radar is still so so sick 

[njblizzard]

Anybody can tell where the Low pressure currently and how strong? And if that’s where models had it? Thanks in advance.

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

Yep! Just imagine when they get here ratios will be insane. 3-6"/hr stuff.

temperature has been rising for a few hours now up to 28f. snow will be more wet now 

Snow was pure fluff when i shoveled an hour ago, temp creeping up again, 29.7

[alexj7]

Visibility is below 1/4 mile here with high winds. However, not sure the visibility will sustain this low for 3 hours.

[psv88]

And ISP verified blizzard officially, there ya go

[ILoveWinter]

Heaviest of the day in the UWS now, visibility very low

[mannynyc]

Just getting demolished right now in the city. We're probably at 10 inches already. 

[NJwx85]

The new HRRR is trending away from the dry slot idea for the immediate coast.

[SnowGoose69]

The NYC ASOS reported .03 in 11 minutes to start the hour.  That’s probably a 4 inch per hour rate if you assume we a tad better than 10:1 right now....bad math....3

[weatherbear5]

And the dry slot south of that band is filling in a bit. I’d imagine that precludes a bit of weakening of that Uber band just off the south shore... air can’t be rising everywhere

[EasternLI]

Closing in on 6" now. Just pouring snow. Radar is unbelievable. It's not even a wet snow yet. We'll easily get a foot.

Whippany NJ checking in - about a mile & 1/2 SE of the 80/287 interchange.  Heavy snow, guessing about 8 inches on the ground so far.  

I was able to get the dog out and get her to do her thing - she seems to like the snow until her paws get cold, maybe 10 minutes total of outside time.  When we were out I had to break the news to our complex's plow driver that the storm isn't even 1/2 way over.  Guess he hadn't been following this site, because he was stunned.   He's psyched for overtime but wondering when he's going to sleep!

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..

It was not a widespread slow down but " some" workers did work slower....the major reason for the snafu was on the city management, which delayed declaring an emergency, allowing too many people to park on the street. This was the major reason for the difficulty cleaning up. it also allowed buses to operate, many were stranded blocking intersections and streets.
