There’s no sleet here-all snow. A bit of a lull at the moment but the next band is coming in hot. 

Pouring snow to your SE and temp down to 28.9...very surprised at the temp drop

News12 is terrible for weather, especially snow. Always underdone

how is it these jokers never apologize and take pay cuts for their bad forecasts?

Here in Dover 30 looks more of a reality than 20, radar looks unbelievable

[sussexcountyobs]

Just measured 11" @ 12 pm. 2 inches last hr. 

Heavy snow falling.  20°

[EasternLI]

Radar is still incredible. Wow.

Heaviest snow of the day here in Ridgewood, NJ. Visibility less than a 1/4 mile. Had about 6-7" at 8am on the driveway when I cleared it.

As much as I hate to admit it, I think after that band it’s largely done for most of LI until the storm pivots east and we get back into the decaying CCB. That dry slot is encroaching fast

There is still many many hours before any threat of a dry slot!

[winterwarlock]

somewhere over 11 inches maybe 11.5 in Belle Mead

[mikem81]

9 inches here in garden city

Looks like two bands rotating in from the SE. The first runs from SW CT down through Westchester, Rockland and points SW into NJ.

Then an area of subsidence in between.

The second band is about to enter LI and the rest of the coast off the ocean.

Probably easily 1-2" per hour in the Western band and 2-4" per hour in the one coming off the ocean.

I am in this area of subsisdence and I'd call it "less heavy" snow, lol

Yeah, I can verify that...I finished snowblowing an hour and a half ago...just measured in my driveway and we have 6" more...maybe an inch was there when I came inside

Just measured 9.5" of pure powder on the ground here on UWS. Back inside now, I'm hearing what sounds like a few pings on the windows and air conditioners.

Just measured 9.5-10” in a few spots. Light to moderate now but will pick up again soon!

I'm in the UWS, don't hear or see any sleet. Prob just the wind blowing the snow around.

12" in Garwood, Central Union County NJ by 11:30AM.  Snow almost looked like a little semi melted refrozen flakes mixed in?  Anybody see an additional foot for this area?  Seems the most intense banding has worked inland.

White Plains getting hammered with this band! Hoping that second band comes through from LI!

I've just seen an ATV get pulled over by a cop...it's crazy out there!
