It's def holding up. In fact it might even enhance as it approaches the coast,there is still a disturbance passing by so we'll see how it hold up.

I tried warning people yesterday against using the Euro and the NAM, they made no sense given the setup but they chose to wishcast. The RGEM wins. How many times do ananfront snows actually work out here, in mid-March no less? I just got an inch and a half total snow. Especially when you have an arctic boundary cross the area, with NW flow behind it….the lee side downsloping dries everything right out like what we just saw with what fell apart from Pennsylvania….

Expand  

RGEM which I like, did not do a good job farther N and W. Too warm and too little snow. I have about 6 inches with maybe another inch or so to come and it gave me a total of 3.5. It also had the changeover to snow about two hours later than what verified. That was the big difference. It did well south and east.

The prolonged snow squall is now approaching nw nj. It looks healthy crossing the mountains so far.. I think after 3 we all get a mini snowstorm..just my opinion..

Expand

As in nor moving at 40+ mph.usually a squall doesn't last long unless it's stationary or slow moving like this one..

Light snow with 1 mile visibility.  Temperature at 25.  Strong winds are whipping up ground blizzard conditions here.

[bluewave]

Areas that missed out on the first batch of snow today can get another chance with this round.

I'm so stoked! I got another 2.5" and that got me almost to 50% of normal

I think our accumulations come later on..setting sun,dropping temps,snow squalls. Also the backend is still in pa..all that will swing thru,maybe with some enhancement as the upper level low comes by.

Guess we'll have to see it to believe it huh,it's gonna snow in a bit reguardless. Just how much is prob gonna be more then what most city folks actually got in the main batch.

A number of reports in Sussex County NJ are higher than my own and I could be conservative.  Difficult measuring here due to blowing-drifting-compaction of small flake snow. Now down to 21F with blowing drifting snow adding slush back onto treated-plowed roads. Vsby briefly down under 1/2Mile in blowing snow when gusts exceed ~30 MPH. Peak so far here 40 MPH in Wantage (306PM) with 3.1" so far.  Increasing reports of 45-50 MPH gusts NYC subforum including LI to KMPO.

[gpsnavigator]

Near whiteout conditions for the moment with moderate snow and gusty winds.

[WestBabylonWeather]

Hoping this holds together for the island . it is incredibly windy

This feature is weakening as it moves east.  There are a few brief bursts of moderate snow however much of it is just flurries.  It is accompanied by strong winds.
