February 3-4 significant icing event for the interior, some sleet/snow possible. Coast mostly rain.

That inland runner that crushed buffalo gave us like 2” of rain so probably, idk how much LE we got from the blizzard and early january snowstorm though

That wasn't the only rain event. Probably almost 2" of liquid from the blizzard and 0.5 to 0.6" in early Jan.

Not too worried about the city and near the coast anymore. The boundary has slowly been delayed in getting here on the models today and GFS just delayed it again and removes most precip after it. Could there be a glaze-sure, but the real ice threat will be north of the city. Lots of rain and unfortunately snow melt before. Most of us other than the really crushed spots will be down to piles by the time the cold gets here again. Next 24 hours with high humidity will eat it right up.

Actually most of the snow is gone here already, the rain will only clean up the dirty snow piles.

Since when did this turn into the snowpack observation thread?

Yes the HRRR doesn't have much ice South of 287 in Rockland but the GFS, 06z 3K NAM and some of the other mesoscale models are still on board. 

12z will be telling.

12z HRRR printing out 1.3” of liquid in ZR for elevations of Ulster and Dutchess Counties, which would work to being dangerously close to the .5” marker for an ISW.

If you approach each potential ice storm in NYC with the bias and knowledge that due to geography, topography, and urbanization, the coastal plain is unlikely to see a major icing event, you will be at a good starting point.

 

Shoutout to Snowman19 who accurately called this NYC event to many weenies

That does not look like something to ignore even in the immediate metro, though not sure if the impact is as long based on what I have read; sounds like some glazing toward the end of the event? Really thought it was something we didn't have to be worried about down here. Your thoughts?

If you say warm and snowless for every event eventually you'll be right.

Models have been printing out 0.75-1.25" of ZR liquid across the Ohio valley where ice storm warnings are in place for 0.5"-0.75" of accretion. Using that as a guide to estimate accretion across the mid Hudson valley, it seems like we're on track for a pretty high impact event.

How much of the rain actually freezes on contact really depends on intensity and surface temps.

The 3k NAM has most of Northern Bergen and Southern Rockland sitting between 28 and 30 degrees when the heaviest is falling. Would think you would get pretty good accretion at those temps.
