Upton was too high with the 18-24 inch amounts for the NYC area. No model saw a warm wedge  into the area .

Still snowing pretty good here

I was over 25” two hours ago in Sparta. There will definitely be a 30” total somewhere and perhaps 36”. 

The band just reignited, Jesus this Is nuts!

Most we’ve had since 2016; it’ll be close if we break it. I had 32.5” in that one. I’m over 25” now. Dover-Chester Road, about 7 miles between the towns. 

[sussexcountyobs]

7 pm measurement 

22.5" 

Heavy snow falling

23.8°

Pingers. 

This cleanup sucked.

I disagree - Central Park is most likely over 18 inches already. I read the update and unless they misworded it they corrected there 1 PM report in Central Park to 15.3 inches of snow because they forgot to add the 2 inches from yesterday. I'm here in NYC and we definitely had consistent albeit lighter snow since then. No doubt they'll get to 18 inches or more, as will all of the other boros.

 

Edit - Central Park up to 18.3.... 

[MJO812]

18.3 for Central Park so far

Odd how a lot of LI is colder than nyc. Somehow this always happens even in setups that you’d think would favor nyc 

Always

Looks like it might be just slightly east of modeling?

I know it appeared to back off some an hour or two ago. In the last hour while out clearing the driveway it definitely picked back up. Probably 1 to 1.5” / hour now and no end in sight or at sight.

My idiot neighbor left his truck in front of my house so the plow didnt get in front of my house. Im about to lose it.

Keep me posted on our official total. I think this band has a few more hours in it. Then late tonight into tomorrow probably wind whipped light snow so will be close! I’m at the Hilton Dover Rockaway

There isn’t much of a warm wedge. Just small warm layers that can sneak in when the lift and precip disappear. This is the one precip batch so far overhead though that’s not too impressive here.

crazy it's filling back in here after a brief lull.  Neverending storm

I believe slightly east too. Not much tho.

That's actually good. No big plow pile in front of your drive6.

Seems to be a warm wedge, reports of sleet in Brooklyn, SI, and parts of NJ as well south shore of LI. Either way most of the region I think is well over a foot.

The plow driver by me sucked this storm. He left snow 7-8’ away from the curb on the whole block. My street is now one way

the central park figure may be correct at this point but the segments don't make sense

15.3 at 1pm

18.3 at 7pm

but .7 inches of precip  in between??

Radar seems to be filling in again for north central jersey

[HVSnowLover]

Pretty surprised that Riverhead and Central Park basically same temp, models seem wrong about the warm air moving in east to west.

The 15.3 was actually at 4pm, not 1pm

Just 15" of snow i cant drive through

[Northof78]

Moderate snow once again here....

[Nibor]

18.3 would move this storm to 10th largest snowfall in NYC. Number 9 is 19.0 January 26-27, 2011

disregard

They probably eke their way to 20" by the end at this point.
