Ugh, wish I was at home. Stations around me are 32-33 so what’s falling is sticking even if slowly. 37 in Long Beach and rain. 

I can confirm it’s sticking in north Syosset area. Don’t know the temp. But have close to an inch. It’s been snowing for about three hours. No mix.

mod snow,  1” to 1.5” on the ground? havent gone out to check but by eyeballing between that range.

[psv88]

Sleet mixing in now in commack and 33. Rain can’t be far away. 0.3” out there 

[LHSnow]

Down to 32.9F in Laurel Hollow and moderately snowing.  Roads are becoming slushy .

New City looks like a postcard,,,,my son just asked " when are we going for a walk " 

[MJO812]

If only the temp was below freezing here. Hate looking at wet pavements.

Yeah, this heavy precip area is surging the mix line north. It’s likely associated with the stronger WAA.

Oak Ridge NJ. NW Morris County. 3 inches otg. Snowing at a pretty good clip.

Yes. I figured we would be in heavy snow right now. But no? Temp is right in the wheelhouse when we get are best snows here, which over 31 years here, seems to be 22-28°. Give or take a degree or 2 either side 

Was expecting 8-10 here by every short and medium d range model and I think right now 5 might be difficult.

Been snowing moderately for the last hour at 33F and we only got another 1/4", which I think means we had some compaction as the snow is fairly wet, so we're up to 1.75" right now and my 2" prediction looks very doable.  

So, as of 7:00 pm we had officially changed to rain and the temp was up to 34F and my last measurement was 2.0" on the nose, which was my exact guesstimate for the storm (even broken clocks, lol).  The last hour or two the snow was quite wet, but at least it stayed snow. 

The interesting thing was that I went out for a quick spin around 6:35 pm to see the roads and pick up takeout (Portuguese BBQ, yum) and the residential streets in Metuchen were all fully snow covered and treacherous, while the county/state type roads (531/501 and 27) were partially covered/slushy and somewhat slick, and the major roads like 1 and 287 were just wet.  Many local reports in the area of accidents, as I'm guessing people maybe forgot how to drive in the snow.  Also, around 6:50 pm I noticed it started sounding like rain on my windshield even though it was still snowing and 10 minutes later it was all rain.  Oh well.  But I'm ecstatic we even got 2" when so many, including the NWS, were predicting little to no snow for the 95 corridor, including in our area.  Hope there's some left tomorrow (I think there will be).  

[MANDA]

Light to moderate snow ongoing.  29 degrees.  

2.5" as of 6pm measurement.  Guess is another 1" since that time.

Will measure again at 9pm.

My forecast of 4-6" for MBY seems on track.

Happy you saw some flakes man, it’s been a torrent of rain down here.

My wife is on the phone with her parents in Milltown and they have a decent amount considering. Wasn’t expecting anything really for them or we could’ve gone up for dinner!

[NCPOW]

Coming down hard in Ardsley. 30.0.

Road treatments make a big difference. Suspect Metuchen was saving money? or no people to run the trucks or their policy? I know county DPW's and their subcontractors get onto this stuff pretty quick. That's the way your report sounded. State and County on it. 

[Rjay]

35. Rain

[tdp146]

For context, 35.2 here (south shore Long Island) with .31” (rain).  Some wet flakes at times.

Atrocious. That brine does jack shit. The main roads are snow covered, side roads are even worse.

Steady light snow 32° with a coating on the colder surfaces near KHVN. 

[the_other_guy]

2 inches or so in Hastings

[psv88]

Over to rain and sleet now, it’s over. Ended up with less than the slushy inch but still nice to see some accumulation and snow in the air for several hours.
