Mod to heavy still as this band pushes east. Looks like 7-8” on the ground.

We needed this after the crap pattern we had in December. I got a good vibe this morning we’re going to rock in January. Buckle up Anthony!

[Northof78]

Nice moderate snow now with backbuilding a little...

[jm1220]

Seems like many in NYC have 6”+. Surprised they weren’t upgraded to warnings. 

[Byrdhousebv]

Five inches now with light to moderate continuing. Wind gusts have developed..

[LAVistaNY]

6” OTG in eastern most Westchester (the point that juts into CT- I’m surrounded by CT!).

Yeah for sure.  Central Park ASOS which always has highly accurate LE numbers in snow events had .35 and reported 5.5 inches.  So basically 15:1.  LaGuardia’s 7.5-8 or whatever they got seems like it may be a tad high given EWR had 5 and JFK 5.5

[EastonSN+]

How much central park?

[bluewave]

The HREF max snowfall did a great job with the wider area of 6”+ than the other guidance. Also had the heaviest amounts going to our Northeast. The HREF also did very well with the summer flash flood events.

5.5 inches on .35 liquid 

[EasternLI]

5" and ripping 

[MJO812]

Anyone have the latest snowfall amounts from NWS?

[BxSnowWx37]

Most of nyc is over 6+..reguardless of how we slice it. Also it's still snowing..in some parts of the city the actual snow total might be over 7 inches with localized bands. We indeed overperformed which is fine by me.

Sanitation is doing a great job with the streets around here .
