Switched over to freezing rain a few minutes ago, earlier than expected, so I just took my final measurement of 1.25" of sleet/snow, bringing our season total up to 12.4".  Disappointing we didn't get the 2.5" of snow/sleet I guesstimated and especially would've liked more snow, but that's the way it goes sometimes.  Not loving having an hour or more of ZR, which could put down 0.1" or more of ice with temps at 29F. 

Back to heavy sleet now: enough to wake me up.

Spoke too soon.  Just flipped back to pouring sleet - no idea what will happen next, lol.

Ripping near CPK

[NorthShoreWx]

N Smithtown 10:30 29.3⁰ Snow.  3.5" total

There seemed to be some pingers when I was taking the measurement but they appear to have been graupel based on the sleeve test.  Back to S+ now, viz 1/4 (10:40pm)

Storm is supposed to end by 11pm to 1am. 

I’m upstate. Supposed to snow till 7 am. Flip to rain/snow between 11 and 1 for you.

That initial thump was legit. Damn near zero visibility at times. Haven't seen snow that heavy since the 2022 snowstorm

Went out to shovel 45 minutes ago with mod snow falling. Measured 2.3". Within 5 minutes it changed to all freezing rain for 5 or 10 minutes. Then mixed with sleet. Then back to snow. Small flakes, and just light. 24.1°

Looks like the RGEM and HRRR did well.  What others over performed?

[allgame830]

It was mostly sleet before now dumping snow again 

[terrapin8100]

Still snowing moderately in Ossining. The mix line has been stalled near the Hudson River but I suspect a changeover is imminent. Nice storm up here for a few hours. 27°

[Rjay]

No sleet since the first 10 minutes of the event here

Sure was … it took me almost 2 hours to travel 4 miles … roads went from fine to impassable in a blink

31 degrees and just a coating. Sounded like quite a bit of sleet hitting the windows about 20 minutes ago. Calmed a bit now

NYC 2.8

Astoria has a solid 3”. Heaviest snow I’ve seen in a long time earlier. Ripping sleet up until a few minutes ago. Now back to snow. Not as heavy as earlier but big flakes.

9.3 YTD before this storm

JFK is usually the lowest of the 3 climate sites, I expect that to be reflected by this storm as well. It’s funny because the way NYC is spread out, I feel like they are all equally accurate for their respective areas. JFK is usually indicative of south shore Queen/BK, Staten Island. Central Park is usually indicative of Manhattan and Bronx. And LaGuarida is usually indicative of the city’s largest borough, Queens. So I guess they each have some value but Central Park definitely under measures most of the time

Still going..back to heavy snow/sleet..nearing 4 inches.

Celebrating “victory” and the event is starting later this evening? You called for 0.7 at Central Park right? I don’t even think the NAM has it that low.

That lines up nicely with the new NAM. Actually thats a bit too aggressive I think around 0.3" would be closer. We'll see later on today but I think deep down you know the naysers are correct.

No I think 2-4 is a good call for CPK

Sleet line washed out again looks like, pushed back to Brooklyn?
