March 9 Rain/Snow Event (Possibility of a few inches of wet snow for much of the subforum, most likely north and west of NYC)

[wdrag]

Wantage NJ 1.8" as of 1PM...wet snow.  rural untreated roads variable around 1/2" slush.  Nearly 6000 without power the past hour in Sussex County NJ...scattered all over. 3/4S-v1/2S in progress.

Flipped from rain/snow to pure sleet to a heavy snow/sleet mix in the span of 5 minutes here in Plainview.

31.5° heavy snow.

Almost 2 inches but it's not sticking well to the pavement, so is my total actually 0?

No, accumulation on grass counts.

The changeover line looks to be stuck on the barrier islands. With this activity coming from the west and declining sun maybe we can accumulate some more. 

[psv88]

This sleet before created a layer on the roads so the snow is sticking to the roads right away

Was just joking Hyde and poking fun at those obsessed with it sticking to the pavement.

I have a snow board.

[hudsonvalley21]

Moderate snow here currently and accumulating on all surfaces now. Temp.31

[jm1220]

2”. Moderate snow/snow grains/sleet. Road is slushy. 

[NorthShoreWx]

2:30pm Smithtown.  32 S-, 1.6" on the board.  Skim coat on the street.

No sleet but a mixture of dendrites and graupel here.

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

A mix of everything on the uws. About .5” on the grass. Let’s see if the park records anything 3 miles to my south east 

[White Gorilla]

In the latest PNS, Central Park reported a trace of snow. Yet, the ground is actually whitened as per the camera at Columbus Circle. Were a proper measurement taken on a snow board, one would be dealing with a few tenths of an inch of snow, not a trace. Here's a very recent image from Columbus Circle:

Rain/snow line looks to be southern NYC and southern LI right now.  

time to destroy the atlantic ocean fill it up with liquid helium

[HVSnowLover]

Probably should have been a WWA with this everywhere outside the five boroughs. Evening commute could be messy.

It’s no mystery what’s going on here and it has been all season.
 

The NWS has dropped the ball again, as they have so many times in years past, regarding snowfall measurements at Central Park. Look at every event this season and the Park has under measured, or not measured at all, every event. When they had the Conservancy measure the last several years it was better although not perfect. I’m not sure what they’re doing this year but it’s time to start applying pressure again. It’s ridiculous that the largest city in the country can’t measure snowfall with any consistency. 

I don’t even want to get started on all of the historic storms they have under measured through the decades.
