Cleared the board after the changeover to sleet at 1 pm with that last measurement and have had about 1/2" of mostly sleet since then, so up to 14.0" as of 3 pm; we're back to light snow at 30F. HRRR still has most of E-PA/CNJ N of 276/195 getting 4-6" more through late evening (HRRR did well with showing the sleet that other models missed) and 2-4" south of there down through Philly over to LBI. Key question is whether we get that precip or the dreaded dry slot and if the rest of the precip will be snow, assuming we get it.  

Seeing some lighter snow again over here; wife let the dog out to poop; he wasn't satisfied with the path I cleared so he went on the pavers; went out to clean it up, couldn't find it;  covered already in the last 20 mins.

Just measured about 13-14" here in Ramsey NJ

Seaford and Massapequa had over a foot as of the 150pm report so southern Nassau must have some high totals too. That second main band looks like it really nailed the area for a while.

Not one sleet pellet here from what I can tell. 

Not here either.  I did see some graupel bouncing off my sleeve briefly earlier this afternoon, but nothing that isn't a form of snow.  Viz flirting with 1/4 mile again here now.  I'd call it moderate snow, but it's close.

based on that map it looks like Boston will get over a foot of snow.

meanwhile here I am counting 5 flakes per second lol

Moderate rain snow mix now

fwiw sleet is also considered snow and measured as such

Glad to see your amounts continue to mirror mine. I’m closing in on or just eclipsing 24” at this point. Snow depth on the ground with compaction running about 2” lower than measured accumulated snow per last measurements.

Car insurance will cover it, after a 1000 deductible ( at least thats how it is in NJ ). My wife once got hit by a guy speeding away from a cop; the township wouldn't pay for the damage; said the cop was doing his job pursuing a car jacking. Had to go thru insurance.

big snowhole is over central to NE Nassau, its only very light snow here but not nothing like it was before

Lee Goldberg saying snow rates in the city will be half an inch an hour from here on out for the first half of the night

You were worried about sleet yet it seems west of the Hudson had the bulk of the sleet. Never can tell...

No mixing yet in wading river that I’ve seen.  Moderate snow at the moment.  If asked yesterday I would have guessed rain by this time.

yes 13-14 until it shut down at 1

[Snowshack]

11.25” on the ground, moderate snow 31f.  We’ve definitely compacted down but this is a nice hearty pack now.  

[NJwx85]

After a brief lull things have really picked up again, visibility is back below 1/4 mile.

Yeah. I just went out to play.. uhh..shovel the snow and measured 13 inches.  Haven't had any sleet here yet either which was interesting. The snow that has been falling for the last few hours is mostly that tiny needle stuff though.

A photo from just after 3 pm:

Light and occasionally moderate snow continues to fall in Larchmont, NY.

[Pequest]

Still snowing to beat the band here in central Warren County. Looks like the sleet line made it as far north as the southern tip of Warren County per Dual Pol radar. 24 degrees  with a solid 15 inches down.

EWR at 15 now...NYC is likely around 16-17

the city was 13.3 at 1:oo pm and between 1and 2 in the city it was snowing at 2 inches a hours so i am guessing nyc is about 16;5 inches as of 4:00pm

Sleet is indeed included in snow totals, but it isn't snow.  Graupel on the other hand is snowflakes with a coating of rime..  

Anyhow, the main point was that nothing has fallen here to indicate any above freezing air anywhere in the column overhead.

S+ again here in Smithtown.  I have no complaints about this one!

I have about 15” so far a few miles north of you.. how about you 

[NJwx85]

Just an amazing storm here with no real end in sight. 18z 3k NAM has light snow persisting over the area for about the next 24 hours and doesn't really start to show things lightening up until after 10PM.

[Isotherm]

11.5" here. Light snow,  31F.

[sussexcountyobs]

At 4pm just measured 19"

Heavy snow falling.

21°

[NJsnow89]

When will middlesex county fill back in? Stuck in this dry slot 

[Brian5671]

continues to rip here.    Hasn't really let up since about 10am....

Somewhere around the same. It's hard to measure with all the drifts. Even the snowboard isn't reliable with the winds.

Parts of NNJ closing in on 25”.
