Happens with every storm. Majority of the accumulations here occur on colder surfaces.

Eyeballing 4” out this way, considering I was always on the western edge, I’ll take it. 

[mob1]

A shade under 6 inches here

Fairfield, CT this morning.

[Snowlover11]

what a shitshow of a commute home from work.  my car which does amazing in the snow i had a helluva time for a 3 mile drive. 6.7” on the table

[lee59]

Both car tops 8 inches, other areas as low as 6 as high as 8, so I will say 7.5 inches here. Nassau never got changed to a winter storm warning as far as I know.

Still snowing moderately here and temp dropped a degree to 28f..7.3 down. A 6 to 9 is def a win for all of us..how lga is almost at 9 is crazy,but localized bands do add here and there so it's def not out the question. 

[wxman]

5.5" final here.

[Snowlover11]

crazy how its still snowing even though there is hardly any returns above.  definitely lightning up tho.

[jm1220]

About 8” in my backyard/my deck which is a guess. Light snow picking back up. 

[Sampson]

a little under 9" here. Beautiful!

[jm1220]

Definitely a fluff bomb. There must be 12-15:1 ratios or even higher in this. 

[MJO812]

Light snow continuing now

Looking at unofficially 5” Floral Park

Thar's it? You measured? I just went outside and measured 8.5" minimum everywhere. Seems low considering where you are in relation to me.

I think it's closer to 20:1 in spots

[Snowlover11]

Surprised at the fluff factor giving temps are not that much below freezing.

7.5 in Easton CT measured about 15 mins ago.

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. 
 

 

 

Those are too high outside of the immediate NYC area. I believe those are the maximum of the ensemble runs. So it would seem NYC achieved the high side of the modeling and other areas - maybe to the NW - were closer to model consensus.

[jm1220]

Snow actually borderline moderate again. 

[wdrag]

So our CP 5.5+ will bring the seasonal total almost to normal for the season.

ACY 4.2 raises their Jan to 17.2 or 3rd highest Jan monthly total and 9th highest monthly total in their history.  Not bad for what was supposed to be a a weak winter.  Suppose it can still go south but at least January is full of wintry opportunities.

Enjoying every minute. Probably off line most of the day except for a CoCoRaHs post at 945A.

Just measured 6” here in SW Suffolk. 

[lee59]

The areas of black top and concrete must still be fairly mild in temperature as they seem to have about half of what is on car tops and grass.

[uncle W]

this is the second most snow NYC got on this date...January 7th...

13.6" in 1996...

todays total at least 5.5"...

5.0" in 2017...

4.5" in 1958...

4.1" in 1981...

I am definitely thinking HREF is the best...  in short range. However not perfect. It lagged the past two events and yesterdays 12z is below. AXIS excellent but amounts a little low, probably due to banding,

Holy crap it poured snow most of the last hour, so as of 6:00 am, we're up to 5.0" of snow OTG, meaning we got 1.5" of snow in the past hour!  Actually exceeded my prediction of 4.75", which I thought was a bit too optimistic, as the NWS had me for 4.2".  We just backed off to moderate snow and that might have been the last of the heavy snow bands for us.  Still 27F.  

And finally, as of 7:15 am, when the snow had been reduced to flurries, I got a final measurement of 5.75", which outperformed nearly every prediction out there.  Just finished shoveling and then a long JebWalk and finally had to make a snow angel - snow was fairly light and fluffy, but with just enough moisture to make decent snowballs.  Couldn't have asked for a much better storm out of this setup.
