When I posted around 4 am I was speculating our ratios weren't nearly as good as predicted by the NWS (14:1) and guessed that I had probably gotten 12-13:1 ratios on a post on 33. And Kuchera was estimating about 15:1. Had 5.5" at 7 am and doubt I've had more than 1/2" since then, which would give me 6", but will measure shortly - that ~10 miles east of me really helped you get 1-2" more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I can see how geographic orientation/slope and gradation is a factor in snow drifts and accumulation measurements. Here in Maspeth, Queens, near the embankment of the Ridgewood Plateau, on the north facing steep side, I'm experiencing higher totals than a mere half mile away in locations that are more level. This is very pronounced following the banding this morning which has come in with gustier winds, and wind driven-lateral snowfall. That being said, very hard to measure, 7"-9" in Maspeth, Queens. Still some ways to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy snow, blowing and drifting snow, and strong winds will create dangerous travel conditions through the morning. Snowfall rates will range from 1 to 2 inches an hour with locally 3 inches an hour possible. The highest snowfall rates are most likely across the east end of Long Island. Travel is strongly discouraged! If you must travel, bring a winter survival kit. If you become stranded, stay with your vehicle. $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxSnowWx37 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 To loop or not to loop that is the question??..its snowing in scranton again. So my guess is we snow most of the day,depending on where it decides to back in to the coast,it might be even more surprises esp out east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
