Radar looks awful to my west. Probably going to be at least an hour or two of a lull coming up.

Yes but will we get the inch per hour for 3-4 hours? That's the big question now. It's going to be close as this system is going to move very quickly northeast and the timing of the heavier precip and influx of cold air is all important.

WX/PT

The new HREFs are not suggesting 1” per hour rates for hours where they do occur. This thing is moving way too fast and doesn’t have the explosive deepening you’d want to see in order for it to really overperform

Larger flakes starting to mix. Nothing on the ground yet Douglaston.

My daughter canceled her trip to Manalapan and just looked at me and said dad, there is nothing going on out there....I look like a fool.

Flakes getting bigger in size now

No you don't. Correct decision.

[weathermedic]

Radar filling in nicely around the Delmarva. Looks like it’s heading up towards NYC 

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

29.5° and pouring snow. Grass and roads covered 2+ inches at least haven't taken an official measurement yet. Orange County NY. 

[lee59]

After slacking off a bit, picking up again. Temperature down to 34.1

Ya got me.

[Sampson]

Down to 33 and snow starting to stick on grass.

 

[jm1220]

Grauple/light snow, temp down to 33. Some accumulation on colder surfaces. Will start accumulating on pavement soon as the sun goes down. 

[Tatamy]

Moderate snow- visibility 3/8 mile 28F

[psv88]

Heavy graupel and snow, 34. Everything coated in white. Laying down a nice base for the snow.

Yep, the snow is finally sticking on grass and rooftops here, although it's a very wet snow with a very high water content and really slushy.  The roads have large puddles now.

If it was 28 degrees this would have been at least 3 inches of snow on the ground already.

yeah finally has a handle on it, matches current radar, as I said earlier this event all occurs from around the city east in a 3-4 hour period from 22-02 or so

theres slush on the grass and rooftops here and the roads are full of large puddles.  We wasted at least 3 inches here with the milder temps.  The snow on the grass and rooftops is translucent....

Agreed. Radar looks great down by dca

it was a good decision, we have slush accumulating on the grass and rooftops, but even without snow on the roads, there's a lot of large puddles and people don't drive well with wet roads either.

 

 

[steve392]

33 and heavy snow in Mahwah.  Salted lots are now getting covered up.  Kinda glad its not accumulated as much as i thought it would yesterday.  Drive home in a few hours should be much easier.

[psv88]

Nice thing about graupel is that it sticks immediately. Nice wintry scene out there

No way, there's been showery precip up until now and even the barrier islands look like they're down to 34. There's just been less and less precip forecast and this band to the west looks more and more dominant so the inland areas will likely win after all. We need this stuff off NJ/DE to be intense for the few hours it's here.

[HeadInTheClouds]

30 with moderate snow. A little under an inch so far. 

[Blizzardo]

The sun is peaking through in South Amboy! Lmao

We dads tend to worry even if our "kids" are young adults. But the pandemic kept her cohort from learning to drive early and she was a bit delayed, so never got that comfortable and is still shakey.
