Potential extensive winter event, I-95 west and with again a chance for NYC first inch(es) of snow Mon or more likely Tue Jan 16, 2024 (serves as OBS thread as well)

[Tatamy]

Snow is done here.  Final total 2.5”.  27/22

[jm1220]

Temp starting to drop, I’m down to 29 with light freezing rain. Decent glaze on trees/my car. Pavement thankfully is wet. 

[uofmiami]

Temp crashed, down to 28 in Muttontown & 29 in Syosset.

[HVSnowLover]

Light sleet/snow mix now.

[Allsnow]

Light snow and sleet before the back edge comes through. Everything coated again 

[HVSnowLover]

Amazing how much more wintry it feels when it's snow or sleet falling even if it's light compared to when it's zr.

[bluewave]

Officially my worst freezing rain conditions of the 2020s so far. 1.5” of snow followed by around .10 of ice. Still some very light freezing rain and 30° just east of HVN.

Snowing here in Brooklyn and sticking to everything

That's what happens when it never goes above freezing during the storm.

Nice to finally have a cold airmass is place before a storm

Of course we all know that from the observations after 7:00 there had to be at least several tenths of an inch (0.3-0.5 maybe) added to the 1.4 inch storm total at the park but their history is not to add to the total and just ignore it like it never happened.

It will probably be the case again unless someone that cares is measuring at the Park today. The only time they seemed to get somewhat accurate measurements was when they had the Conservatory doing the measurements at the Park several years ago, and that lasted 4-5 years. Not sure why that relationship ended.

I was in Midtown by 8am and it was raining. It's been on and off light rain/freezing rain since. Maybe a little sleet too.  It wouldn't except any more acclumation since then. It is snowing right now though that may add up to something.

32 and drizzle

just flipped to light snow here in Jamaica Queens at my work location

[uofmiami]

Flipped to light snow in Great Neck. 

[psv88]

Yikes. 29 and freezing mist now. Cars are caked in ice. 

[NorthShoreWx]

Meanwhile, snow has changed to freezing rain all the way into southern Maine.

Temp is down to 29.6° here as of 4pm.  Today's max was 31.6° at 3:15pm (45 minutes ago).  Wind has picked up and droplets are now hitting the windows on the west side of the house instead of on the east side.

Snowing again on the backend and sticking

Just wish we didn’t get the warm layer just above the surface.

it changed back to snow here at 3:55 but it's a very light snow, none of this is going to accumulate even though the temps are now below freezing.

It makes you wonder what kind of storm would have to occur to keep this from happening-- this storm even tracked south of us and wasn't a coastal hugger.  Perhaps the SST are simply too warm for this time of year?

it's ironic that it changed back to snow here and yet it's not sticking even though it's below freezing again (it's a very light snow)

You're new to continental living, granted you're still on the water but it's different. You'll see plenty of ice. Don't look forward to it These hills are killers. 

[NorthShoreWx]

28°  A little bit of pixie dust mixed in with the very light freezing drizzle.

[gravitylover]

Oh I forgot, 23/22/SN+ silly snow is hiding the ice
