As of 9 pm, we have a heavy dusting, i.e., about 1/8" of absolute pixie dust, fine grained snow, on all surfaces at 26F.

As of 10 pm, we're all the way up to 3/8", so 1/4" the past hour and down to 25F.  Obviously, still just snowing lightly, but some better returns are not far away.

Pretty rainy for LI. I’m ok with it, have dinner plans 

Was clear for a while that the best snow would be NW. Enjoy what we have for now and it shouldn’t be enough rain to wash it away. Dusting here at my house with light snow. The rain might just make it last longer anyway by freezing it into cement.

Not snowing super heavy but it's really nice.

26.1 degrees here, so has a ways to go to turn into plain rain. Meanwhile coating on everything including roads.

gotta take the mask off that program because this kind of snow reflects back less.

This is what winter is supposed to feel like. I love it!

25⁰ with light snow in N Smithtown.  Only about a quarter inch on the ground, but it's covering everything and looks nice.  The max temp this afternoon briefly touched 29 and the snow began covering the street from the first flake.

DC is under a WSW now.

NYC should be in the heavier bands overnight

Storm seriously overperforming for DC/Balt as warnings were just issued for 4-6" of snow as 4" is already on the ground in the DC area and 3" in Baltimore.  Doesn't guarantee anything here, but it's also overperforming in the Philly/SNJ area, so there's a decent chance of CNJ/NNJ getting at least to the 2-4/3-5" forecast amounts (and maybe the high ends of those or beyond).

Just light snow and a heavy dusting here coating everything.  We'll see what happens later.

Light snow, it's like a Snow Globe out there. I'm about to take the dog out for a walk in about 15 minutes to revel in it.

As of 11 pm, we're up to about 5/8" as another 1/4" fell the past hour. It's still 25F, but the snow has increased in intensity the last 10 minutes and it looks like that will continue for awhile, so hopefully we'll start doing better than 1/4" per hour.
