Don’t see how anyone in the metro gets 20 now actually this sleet came in fast and we are about to dry slot 

I assure you, parts of NJ up into SE NY will reach over 20". Some places in NW NJ are already approaching those numbers. 

The NY Metro doesn't end at the Hudson River.

it is sleeting like hell here. this will reach essex next why does it always mix when they say no mix

I agree it is so frustrating watching your snowpack get destroyed by the mix and then having to scrape an icy sheet off of your vehicles.

[NorthShoreWx]

Still S+ here.  Radar looks like it is trying really hard to dryslot and at the same time trying really hard not to and it seems we are about to step it up another notch.  Lots of potential being right on the edge.  So far we keep pulling the lever and coming up all cherries.  On a roll.

1:30 temp 29.1.  We've gone past 12" on the snow stake.  Official total measured on the snowboards was 11.6" at 1:00pm.

 

 

[weatherbear5]

Measured 12” on the nose on my table in NW Suffolk.

tough to get a true measurement though with so much drifting

[NJwx85]

LOL at people complaining about getting over a foot of snow.

 

[nycsnow]

Sorry meant DONT see how any boroughs record 20 or more unless something changes fast 

[SleetStormNJ]

Some places in Union County by me already have 16 inches...........We'll easily hit/break over 20".

[Sampson]

Gotta be close to 14” here. 

[ADKNYCPA]

getting DUMPED on in Allentown PA, measuring 10 inches, insane how dense the snow is right now. My 27 month old daughter has already had me out twice playing with her, she's a snow nut like her DAD!

Hanging on to moderate snow on the southern edge of this band, but this might be the end of the accumulating snow for us, i do see some bands trying to develop offshore, but they look pretty light for the most part. I don't think we get to 18", but 14" is doable when all said and done. Temp ticking back up again, 28/7, S+

We probably get another 1-2" or so, so if you're at 12.5 I'd say 14-15" should about do it. There's another burst south of LI that hopefully comes through. Hard for me to say how much here from drifting but I might be a little less than you.

Still snowing heavily in UWS, maybe we luck out here but tough to say

[SnoSki14]

Now it's a sleet storm. That 700mb low placement is hurting us.

Regardless I have well over a foot and now they'll be a crusty later of ice on top solidifying the pack.

Indeed. But that sleet out there is wicked sounding. There's some snow mixed in at times. Its waffling. Might change back. Who knows. I'm done cleaning for today. Not going out again. Especially not in stinging sleet.

Sleet really ain't so bad in the long term. Our Dec snowpack definitely hung on longer because of the sleet pounded into it and then froze into a brick. 

[Greg g]

Very intense band up here currently.. probably about 2” hour rate right now 

[Northof78]

Heavy snow holding on here...no pings yet, about 1.5"/hr. within this intense band

location location location...I am in Belle Mead and have just over 12. Those death bands really concentrated on Somerville and Bridgewater, but less so in the southern part of the county
