Need a good radar site to go to NWS is absolutely horrible since they changed it

Yeah, I miss the old radar so much. The new NWS radar site is horrendous. Sometimes I have to wait forever for it to load. Don't know why they had to change a good thing.

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!

snowing harder here again.  This is an imperfect storm but if it's a foot plus there really isn't much to complain about.

Wondering if we will ever switch back to all snow

I think that's it out here, the dry slot is finally here, just pixie dust now. 30.0* and howling winds, blowing everything around. 

 

14.5" from round 1. Maybe a few more inches tomorrow to push us to 16 or so. 

 

Good luck everyone to the west! Signing off. 

weird now it's snowing hard here lol

Some nice looking echos coming in to Nassau and Queens. It'd be nice if that feed stays steady.

thats hitting here now, snowfall has gotten much heavier since it got dark

Goldberg just mentioned it "Looks like after a quiet January we're going to have a rough first half of February beginning with another possible coastal snowstorm next weekend"

15.3 at 12:51.. def a high chance of breaking into the top 5 all time in Central Park 

[dave0176]

I guess we’re so close to the mix zone it’s just blowing in as sleet

[nycsnow]

Legit heavy snow!!

[mannynyc]

20" is definitely not out of the question for Central Park, there's another fairly heavy band heading straight at it

Snowing prettly nicely here in northwest Nassau again. Hard to tell with all the wind but snow growth has improved quite a bit.

Yeah that's a nice band. Hopefully it can edge east a little.

needs to stay of that second mini dry slot moving in from the south for anything over that

Per local news the Central Park report at 1PM by the NWS was 15.3" not 13.3"

Thank you

[SnowGoose69]

15.3 seems off to me.  They had 5.3 as of 7am...I don't know if that was 5.3 total or 3.3 today and 2.0 yesterday.  They had only .55 liquid 12-18Z so unlikely they could get 10 inches out of that, nevermind 8

[sussexcountyobs]

I hate the term. But yes, it is puking snow right now. 23° Probably 22" otg

Will measure at 7pm.

Mitch, if I’m adding correctly, at 12:51 the NWS had CPK at 1.02 liquid. I guess the ratios are pretty good. As always ....

[F5TornadoF5]

Moderate snow falling, highest winds of the storm.

Not so loud, S G or the zoo keeper measure crew might be brought back. As always ....
