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.

Yeah, it looks impressive on radar but was really just a bunch of really nice gusts. Awesome ground blizzard conditions. 

[HeadInTheClouds]

This radar says it's not over just yet. Starting to get windy also.

yep that's what I figured.  It's very rare when they don't weaken.

So you're pretty much normal to date in your snow hell hole. As is LGA. Pretty much a normal winter. Could be a lot wor

I think we all get a coating with this band. It’s got some dynamics. Timing is better with lower sun angle and temps are much colder

That's exactly what I'm thinking..im at 28f rn..confectioners sugar is gonna fall on everyone and stick. Lol

As I said yesterday this bore some resemblance to 12-11-93...difference is no negative tilt this time so the snow band is going to rotate through quickly.  Interesting how in both cases almost 30 years apart the models did not see the snow correctly associated with the vort/trof and incorrectly placed too much precip earlier.

We got about 20” across Long Island end of January

They are going to have a tough time getting near 30".  17" is less than 60% of normal seasonal snowfall.

 

If we get no additional snowfall here, we'll wind up at about 92% of average snowfall (27 year POR).  So it's fair to say this part of LI has had normal snowfall, but NYC has not.

You know as you look at it in action now, its trying to go neutral. Oh so close.. lol

[BxSnowWx37]

And the snow has commenced in the weenie band. 

[winterwx21]

Snow is picking up here right now. On radar it looks like we're gonna have 2 pretty good lines of snow showers with moderate snow. Maybe we can pick up a half inch with this.

how much did we get on 12-11-93? I'm guessing not much since I only remember the late December snow event that year.  We only had two all snow events in 93-94, the first event in late December and the final event in late March.  Both were around 4" each

this is why Brooklyn and Queens should be lumped together with Long Island (they are part of Long Island after all) and NYC should only refer to Manhattan.

Moderate snow here now that's coating the pavement. Temp is down to 25 now so it's sticking more easily than the snow that we had earlier.

Wind is intense as snow moves back in

You can’t lump Brooklyn and queens with Long Island.

They are two urban areas with lots of concrete that genuinely has an effect on weather.

Useless factoid: by Supreme Court decision, Long Island isnt an island but a peninsula extending from the mainland separated by a tidal straight

Good afternoon Liberty. It’s amazing to think of how much impact legacy a terminus glacier has had and left. As always ….

really? and here I figured that geographically they are all part of the same geographical structure.

where I live in Nassau County it's pretty urban trust me, we get hotter than NYC does on a west or northwest wind

Yes and if anyone was around then they would also have cursed living on the south shore since the glacier never made it down here

[Rtd208]

Light to moderate snow falling here.

Current temp 25

I'm not seeing the logic.

This band is def holding its own,snow really picked up here last 10 mins..moderate windswept snow falling here 26f..

There was a decent difference in snowfall totals between Manhattan and Brooklyn, Ed. Brooklyn received a 6"+ and 12"+ event and Manhattan did not.
