central park picked up a inch of snow no weather person predicted that..

Early yesterday ensembles had a half inch CP and I thought it was discussed here. When you're on the margins, you have to be a little more careful about predicting.

Very icy outside .Dusting on everything .

3” here just to the east of HVN. It’s nice to be in Southern New England for these gradients. Also one of the thicker fogs over a fresh snowpack since I moved up here.

7am measurement 1.3 inches, 23.2 for the season.

Snow cover now for 30 days this season so far. Temperatures normal or a little below for two months, as much as some complain, and rightfully so in many areas, I don't have much of a problem with this winter so far.

Summary assessment last night and the 3 day snowfall... maps of overnight qpf,  the snowfall last night and the 3 day total.  If interested click for clarity. You can see the max snowfall axis was displaced quite a bit further north than exampled on 1/26 start. I rate this as a C- ensemble performance not an F. Check the 1/26 guidance.  Not what I like to see but what it is/was and we didnt overpromise NYC as stated on 1/26.  Words matter as do pix.   The sudden acceleration of the whole complex event scenario  a day after initiating the thread was my largest surprise.

1.2" here with a melted total of .13".

Wild gradient on LI by me. Full snow cover and plows right off Jericho.
 

 1.5 miles to my south much less snow. The temps spiked to 35 after the snow ended for a time so a lot more melted. Only got to 33 by me. Never seen such a gradient before in NW Suffolk.

You wouldn't have liked this one after the move.  Stuff happens.

It still snowed and stuck at the new house. A good deal of it melted overnight when temps spiked down there so by the time I drove by around 10:30 it was patchy coverage. It was crazy to see where the warm air stopped. Could look up the road and see full snow cover and look the other way and see bare ground.

That is pretty crazy. 

We got barely above freezing here (max 32.4) between 1:15 and 2:45 am, then it fell back below freezing and bottomed at 27 between 7 and 7:30am.  Uncharacteristically, the town didn't plow or salt here and some roads were treacherous/black ice for a while this morning.

There hasn't been much melting here yet, although the temperature is up to 43.  Just for a wee bit of exercise, I went and shoveled the driveway about 45 minutes ago.  Could have easily waited for it to melt this afternoon.

Was pleasantly surprised by the what fell from when I got home till I let my dog out.  Nice inch on everything most is all gone already :/

[cardinalland]

ended with about 3" in new haven. local jackpot it seems. with the weather coming this snow should stick around for a while.

Temperature spike to 45.5 just before 1pm and has dropped back to 39 in the 45 minutes since.  Lots of melting since my previous post.

Not sure what is the reason for the temperature swings.

Back up to 41 here.  Ground about 50% bare and the other half is pretty skimpy.  A half dozen or so wunderground stations within a mile or two of here are all between 39 and 42, but I am seeing the high 40's just beyond.  Maybe the temps shoot up when most of the snow is done melting?

Some snow left here in the shade, otherwise gone.
