love looking at this

Memorizing!

Over o foot here with two foot drifts. Temp at 31.8. Power has been flickering on and off in the last half hour. Still a long way to go.

Hi, New member here. I just watched Lee Goldberg as well. He mentioned the sweet spot could be the Morristown area. That's me. This is getting real!
With that said I wanted to thank everyone on this forum. I have been reading all week and you guys are great at what you do. This will be my goto for weather moving forward. Enjoy the storm everyone!

Just measured 6 inches. Snow is light and fluffy. Good ratios. I feel if I don't dry slot, 2 feet is definitely attainable.

MESMERIZING! lol hate auto correct!

With the highest accumulations expected from CNJ to NNJ and NYC, that means the majority of our members are in line to be in the jackpot

I think Long Island gets in on the Jackpot numbers as well....The bands just keep pouring snow over the Island

24* and heavy snow continues. I would measure but frankly I'm too damn comfortable inside right now. Lol. But I can say this, they've been plowing the streets here regularly and since the last plow went through it looks like another 2 or 3" have accumulated on the road.

Latest HRRR

Love

Pouring down snow here on LI. Unbelievable. Winds gusting to near 40? 2"+ per hour in this band and it looks to be a crazy next several hours when I look at what is coming in off the ocean. Should/could see 6-8" just in the next 3 to 4 hours if these returns hold together.!!

Having trouble posting pic(prob because tech challenged)..will have hub post for me later...it is
BAD out there..the drifts in the middle of the street were about 2 feet.. a gust of wind almost knocked me over..no plows yet.. I measured around the yard in spots protected by wind..not sure if that is correct way..prob about 8 inches right now..wind whipping and it hurts..
26* real feel 14 winds 32mph wonder what the gusts are??

This is def a high ratio event up ion NNJ. I had 2 in on the ground at 4:30 am. Now have 8 to 10 in , getting tough to measure with the wind, some drifts like to 1.5 to 2 feet.

Left Dutchess county at 5 this morning. No snow. Starting flurrying as I headed south. Light snow just started in Northern Westchester around 6. A Dusting as of now. Most snow i have seen all year. Jind of sad.

central park just confirmed 6 inches of snow

Omg if that band makes it into Suffolk county we will see 2-4" an hr and thundersnow. Lightning is in he band. 40-45dbz!!!! Please please PLEASE!!

Morning ya'll!!
We'll ain't she just beautiful well he Jonas! !
I have about 4" so far and it is snowing like the f--k end out and even heavier stuff to come.
Enjoy it all take pictures, video. These are rare events so embrace it.

The Conservancy measured 6 inches as of 8 am. I can't comment on the accuracy yet but just the fact they reported this early in a storm is encouraging, you would never ever get that from the zookeeper.

Does any one have images of current upper level wind patterns or of something showing why the northern cutoff is where it is.
