Been here for 18 years. It's literally the worst location in the entire NYC area

We’ve had like five 20” snowstorms in the last decade or so. It could be worse

Congrats l.i my call 1-3" west of hudson river unfortunately

[guinness77]

It wasn’t supposed to start until after 1 and the worst (best?) snow isn’t until after 4 or 5am, no?

And coming down lightly to moderately already with a light dusting on the ground and 31F.  Pretty flakes - very nice dendrites - should be good ratio snow...

[SnowGoose69]

JFK snowing now

Stop being ridiculous. The event is just getting started. And BTW I’m deleting all the posts about “frustrated”, “South Shore sucks”, already crying bust, bickering etc. Grow up. 

[Nibor]

First flakes here. GLHF

[Rtd208]

Flurries have just begun in the Carteret/Woodbridge area. I expect the snow intensity to pick up quickly.

Current temp 30

[guinness77]

And, just like that, snowing in Long Beach. 

[binbisso]

Snowing in The Bronx and 30ﾟ

[Rmine1]

Snowing but temp up to 35

[jm1220]

Snowing nicely here with big flakes. Cold surfaces are starting to accumulate. Radar looks good to me as well.

The south shore does suck for snow. But this one has a great wind direction out of the NNE so despite water temps being in the mid 40s near shore it wilL not matter.

snowing nicely uws. Expecting 4” here and 6@ at home on the SS

[guinness77]

Actually, already snowing pretty moderately here. Ground covering quick.

I know as well as anyone how much it sucks for snow having grown up there lol. But we have a banter thread for that and this is just the start for the event. It’ll cool down once the intensity goes up.

snow has resumed here in yonkers

Quickly up to moderate snow here now and a solid 1/4" on the ground.  Gonna be a fun night, especially since I bought a new 5000 lumens portable spotlight, which I put in the backyard aimed kind of at our house and it's working great for me to see the falling snowflakes from my recliner, instead of having to get up and look at the snow falling in the street lights - only took me 29 years to get one, lol.  

[Nibor]

Dusting on cold surfaces.

[Eduardo]

Snowing on Roosevelt Island.  Easily sticking even to the sidewalks!

[jm1220]

HRRR and RAP are looking a little better as well FWIW. Both show about 0.5" liquid east of the city and a nice band roughly western half of LI and much of CT for 6". 0z Euro shows roughly the same. 

[Stormy46237]

Bed-Stuy right now.

[ForestHillWx]

Eyeballing an 1” so far; easily the biggest storm for me this winter.
 

I enjoy these types of storms; little to no wind, and silence as the fluff falls down. 

[BxSnowWx37]

Snowing pretty gd up here in the bronx rn, everything is moderately dusted already..the radar looks gd rn with everything finally evolving..somebody in eastern l.i sees 7 to 9 inches with this setup.

As of 2:00 am, measured 1/4" on the ground (the comment above was eyeballed).  Temp dropped from 31 to 28F over the last 20 minutes with the snow falling and cooling the column. Snow is fairly dry and is a mix of small and medium dendrites (plates mostly).
