Mix is just south of the LIE and probably hits as the snow slackens off.

Maybe it got here now, it was large flakes at 8:05 and now I don't see anything falling outside lol.

As of 8 am we're up to 2.2" and still snowing at 26F, so temps are on the increase as the mix line gets closer (looks to be 15-20 miles SE of me). Looks like another decent band is to our SW from Philly to Trenton and will hopefully hit us (as snow).

New York City (Central Park) has received 1.4" of snow through 7 am, including 1.0" today. That ends the City's record 701-day stretch without an inch of daily snowfall.

[MJO812]

Sleet here

[Picard]

1.7" here as of 8 am.  Still snowing lightly.  Schools are closed.  Probably the right call in today's society, roads are sloppy.  It's an underperformer as per forecast but still looks nice.  I'll probably do a short hike later.

Dumping snow before the mix mine, the walk I shoveled all covered again. 

[jm1220]

SE Suffolk might be freezing rain now based on CC. Nasty. 

[Cfa]

Sleet/rain mix in Farmingville. Temp 31.

[ForestHillWx]

Got 2” here, light snow continues. Schools closed, courts on a delay. Always fun.

What is a bit amazing though. Still the record for the longest gap between 2" snowfalls in NYC. (2/13/20212 had 1.6" of snow). It's been 721 since the last 2"+ snowfall  (7.3" on 1/29/2022). 

 

The previous record (that I have) was in 703 days ending 2/16/1902.  

 

I have this current stretch at 721 days.

The good news is it's close to 32. It's self limiting during the day and with temps rising slowly it'll prevent any significant issues. It's gonna be a problem tonight though when temps crash with standing water.

as of right now slightly above 1.5 here in New City NY,,,,,,,still snowing but very light,,,,congrats to Central Park and you Anthony small victories are still victories = enjoy hopefully we all get some more snow today and then we move on to Friday

[BoulderWX]

About 2” in morris county. Some very fine flakes still falling. 

[lee59]

After a short period of heavier snow, it has now turned to freezing rain, 30.2 degrees. 2 inches of snow  here.

[jm1220]

Still moderate snow here but mix line is close.

Anyone SW of me (New Brunswick to Princeton) know if that nice band heading NE towards me is still snow?  Anyone?  

[TWCCraig]

Nice to finally have some snow! Turned to rain here now but temp is 30.9 so it's freezing rain

Might not be the worst thing to preserve the snow for some sleet/rain to freeze into it later. And yes roads will likely be worse later with a crash freeze into the teens.

30 and raining

That's called freezing rain.

The bronx is about to get rocked,that batch should be all snow for northern city areas,the next half hour will be telling.

[Volcanic Winter]

33 at home, within ten miles east of there is up to 40. 

28 at work in Hillside. Definitely got more snow at home. Some flurrying here now.

[psv88]

Sleet now and 30. Temp rising quickly now. Hopefully we don’t lose this snow

I highly doubt it. HRRR has freezing rain for a while here but at 32 if it’s heavy a lot would just run off. We have that issue with the easterly wind we normally have but it may just get to 33-34 which would melt off very little. 

[NorthShoreWx]

Snow/sleet mix here.  Temp 30.

2.2" new snow.  1.7" since midnight.

[TJW014]

Slushy winter wonderland out here.

These temps are spiking quickly. Upton says 33 for the high but we may blow past that. Would be nice if the coastal started cranking so the wind would shift 

[uofmiami]

29 with sleet now.
