My snow light west of Middletown is an exquisitely precise meteorological instrument. 

Assessment: lot a snow in short time.

Blessed!

The rain switched to sleet and then snow in Larchmont. Even as it’s only a coating, it is infinitely better than nothing at all.

Nothing beats a good snow light during a storm.  I need to get a good one set up and not piss off my neighbors.

12” in Vernon and still snowing 

[STORMANLI]

0.4"

Total liquid includes rain and melted ice pellets. 0.43"

we had 5-8 in here in the Lehigh valley in most places. All I can say is that if you try to shovel this stuff, it is super wet. My snow thrower was having troubling handling it. I see many having heart issues if they try to shovel this stuff in the morning. Its like shoveling pure slush. The snow  ratio had to be less than 6:1. I have not seen this wet of a snow in five years here. The flakes were pancakes coming down for a few hours. 

Oh how I dread Tuesday night as the soils are now super saturated and not frozen. Wind thrown trees and huge flooding problems coming our way for sure from this tropical like  storm in January. Instability in the  soundings talking some thunder too on Tuesday night The water content in tonight's storm event of 6 inches of snow has to be at least one inch or more. Add that to the potential of 2-3+ inches of expected rain and we have record flooding.

agreed on all...  if you get a water equiv...send it to NWS

[winterwarlock]

Does anyone have the link to the site that posts real time updates for snowfall totals

 

Was a great site to use in years past but i didnt bookmark and cant remember  what site it was

[EastonSN+]

Snow stopping here in Easton CT.

A lot of models show light snow until like mid afternoon tomorrow.  Not much I’m sure, but its there.

Nice!!

[RU848789]

Central Park with only 0.2"?  Does anyone on this board live anywhere near there to verify that?  Thought I saw reports of it snowing there much of the day and people seeing some accumulation.  I get the UHI, but that's crazy.

I live in lower Manhattan and that sounds about right. Nothing accumulated except on grassy surfaces, cars weren't even getting snow.

Surprised you didn't get something like our 2" in Metuchen, although I recall seeing the radar indicating it changed to rain to my east earlier than here.  Could being ~8 miles ENE and an earlier changeover and a little elevation (my house is at 110') make that difference?  

[Brasiluvsnow]

so now that its just about all said and done which model or models did best with this storm ?
