OBS-NOWCAST for potential significant 6 hour Thursday morning (1/20/22) commute impact general 1-3" snowfall.

[lee59]

This is a slow process of switching over, still rain and snow mix but the temperature is dropping steadily now 35

[LHSnow]

All snow with a light coating in Laurel Hollow - 33F.

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

30° and 1.5 inches new snow, and down to light snow.

That should about do it accumulation wise. Nice freshener for the snowpack.

Well after 30 min of light snow, it's just starting to stick on colder surfaces, so accumulations should now commence, as it's 33F, although at this rate an inch would probably be the best I could hope for, unless rates jump up.

Rates have been too light the last 45 minutes to accumulate with 33-34F temps, so we've lost a good 1-2 hours of snow to rain and then melting vs. the forecast, so I'd be surprised to see many get more than 1".  Snowfall rate just picked up in the last few minutes though - it's now or never...

[Cfa]

Flipped to snow in Bohemia.

[jm1220]

Light snow. Surfaces coated. 

[wdrag]

Wantage 0.6" at 9A and 1.5S-. 27F.  roads wet to slightly covered red, all other surfaces nice freshener. 

[terrapin8100]

Light snow in Ossining. 32°

0.75" so far. Roads are covered.

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

All snow and starting to stick to colder surfaces on the UWS. What ever is left at the end of this isn’t going anywhere 

[hooralph]

Spitting meaningless light flakes in Gramercy/Murray Hill.

33°

32 and snowing snow, colder surfaces white, but the snow intensity has lightened up. Maybe we see an inch?

[Brian5671]

We now officially have a dusting, lol...

Temps did drop quickly, though - down to 32F, so we have a chance at getting some accumulation now.

[lee59]

Light snow 34.1 degrees

[sussexcountyobs]

Light snow 29. Looks to be a little over 1" new

I’d be shocked if we see an inch, definitely not here in the tropics! Absolutely nothing sticking by me and the back edge is probably 2 hours away. Lost too much to rain unfortunately 

[Volcanic Winter]

My backyard cam in Toms River NJ (near Manchester, Western inland edge) has nothing on grass / deck. All rain with a very heavy precipitation band overhead now. App showing temps though as 38 still ...

 

Very frustrating especially as anything that falls today will stick around. 

[dWave]

Moderate snow in lower Manhattan. No acclumation..not even on grassy surfaces or cars. A mod to heavy windswept white rain

[EastonSN+]

Down to 31

[Allsnow]

Down to 31 solid coating on the grass 

[wxman]

.5", light snow.  temp 30

[MJO812]

Snowing here in Brooklyn

Coming down at a decent clip and radar looks okay for the next hour or so. We did waste precip as rain and temps near 40 and it seems like the precip in general is lighter than thought a couple days ago so hopefully we walk away with 1-2. It’ll freeze solid on whatever does get accums. 

[SnoSki14]

Back-edge coming fast. Will get a dusting at best. We've had more than that in a 10 minute squall. 

[wdrag]

Wantage NJ final here in the south part at 740'MSL. 0.7" 28F  

[Volcanic Winter]

Basically mood flakes for many if not most at this point.

[Rjay]
