My neighbors are already whining about the snow. People really just hate winter around here.  I mean, what do they expect it to do here? Stay in the 70's?

Most people hate winter weather because it's disruptive. We're the unusual ones, but nothing wrong with being unusual! I absolutely love it! I'm glad we got a couple inches of snow out of this. Absolutely beautiful out there!

What a great snowfall. It took a minute to stick to everything because it was 38 when it started but once it did it was off to the races. I'm easily at 2", more on elevated surfaces like bushes. It looks like a lot more because everything is all puffy and rounded.

Hastings flipped.

Nice way to wrap up February.

Although I always snow to rain events.

I almost rather it be all rain

[dWave]

Around an inch before changing to a steady rain.  Pretty messy out

[Brian5671]

heavy snow here some slush on roads now....

[wdrag]

Snow reports to the NWS as of ~150P. See nothing for NYC CP.  Should have something??

 

[ForestHillWx]

Per co-worker commute from Watchung to Pequannock via 24/78 and 287 took 1:30; not going above 35-40 mph the entire way; secondary roads are worse.

1.75 final here and pouring. That was a fun two hours

All rain in Port Jeff Station from the start. My yard is re-appearing.

Well, the inevitable has happened, the beautiful snowfall has be replaced by rain as of 2:00pm, but not before delivering an unexpected 3.2" of snow. I now have had 45.6" for the season. I'm very happy with that.

The above pictures are from NYC’s suburbs (Scarsdale, Larchmont, and Mamaroneck). If anything stuck on Central Park’s snowboard after 1 pm, it will likely be washed away before the Park measures again at 7 pm. It seems that no measurement is made when the snow stops falling or no such measurement is made on a consistent basis.

[Albedoman]

5 inches in Macungie PA today. Snow squalls for tomorrow and maybe a refresher on Saturday?

Thats what I think as well... Not what i like to see from a top USA city but also logistics of what has changed in the ASOS era.  Mostly good with so many more platforms but available personnel-job priorities have changed the process.  Also noting that NWS guidelines may be limiting posting of LSR'sd, in part due to staffing and in part due to multiple job responsible cities. Noting OKX so far not posting any amounts under 1.5 or 2" as of about 2P.  

 

Thanks Don!

That was intense. I saw the RS line creeping up this way so went out to move the snow before it got too heavy. Well, it was already heavy  That was the best goop we've had here in a few years! It was absolutely pounding down golf ball flakes for the last 30 minutes or so and I ended up with 5.5 (maybe a touch more) before the flip to NCP. In 5 minutes it was down to about 3"  Now it's just soggy. This reminds of of some of the Long Island storms when I was growing up.

Very very slippery. Just took a slide down driveway with snowblower in tow

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

31.3° moderate snow, 3.2 inches so far, doesn't look like will make it to 4.

58.5 inches on the season, 17 inches otg, and not one day in February so far with a snow depth below 12.5 inches, and 40.5 inches for the month. That is an A+ month in my book.
