Take a ride 20 minutes north. It's dumping.

It is funny looking at radar.

Snow to north. Rain to south. Nothing in between.

There were two questions regarding fundamentals of this storm for NYC: warmth or QPF

Looks like QPF will be the issue as of now

about an inch on the ground here.

20/18/E1/SN but the intensity is wavering between light and moderate, flake size is tiny and visibility is decent at the moment. Looks to be approaching 3" as the sat antenna on my truck is 2.6" high and is covered.

The models did not have this dramatic a precip split, right?

Honestly, thank goodness. We got a dusting here and I hope that's it. I just wish the snow could have happened some in January and not as much now, but what can you do?

bust, poor modeling on this. Sunday was a positive bust  You win some you lose some.

Actually I eat my own words. It has gotten quite intense around Newburgh.

Isn't that amazing how that still happens as often as it does? C'est la vie.

Nope, today was spot on. Upton had me at 2-4 and got 3.5. This was also forecasted to be a much shorter duration, it has been snowing for 11.5 hours now and never went above 28*. Sunday was a good bust and the big storm was the best bust in years.

For your area maybe but definitely it was a bust for some. i was predicted to get 1-3 inches and did not see one flake today, i actually can't remember this bad of a bust in a while.

yeah the further north one was today, the forecast did better-here it was 1-3 inches and we got about an inch...so low end verification.  only snowed for about 2 hrs.

1 inch in 2 hours is pretty good

CoCoRaHS snowfall for the 9th (final added 1043A), Virtually no qpf occurred just s of I78 in NJ to LI and that nixed the snowfall opportunity from there northward into ne NJ and far southeast NYS - far southern CT (QPF forecast problem that I wouldn't have forecast). Max bullseye snowfall was ne PA into se NYS...well ensembled [3-5"]. Then 1-2" occurred near or just n of I78 in e PA-nw NJ and southern CT. Some spotty icing occurred LI/coastal NJ and especially ne NJ into extreme se NYS and s CT, but limited impact.
