Heavy snow big flakes nice band setting up coming through the area what a nice surprise with this storm

by **aiannone** Sat Jan 07, 2017 2:25 pm

temp down to 20.9. Not often does it snow this cold down to the coast

As of 1 PM, CPK had 1.6" which would put it at 6.0" for the 2016-17 season, taking it out of the bottom five. Unless the measurement person at the Conservancy (who could be the zookeeper in disguise) screws up, it should overtake 2011-12's 7.4" from this event.

About 45 minutes ago, I measured 2.2" of snow here in Bellerose and it's coming down pretty good right now!

By the way Frank, I see you added the group "Advanced Forecaster" to this forum. How about adding "Statistics enthusiasts" which would include me, CP, and perhaps Dtone.

Getting hammered with heavy snow right now. Close to 2 inches.

by **Frank_Wx** Sat Jan 07, 2017 2:44 pm

by **Radz** Sat Jan 07, 2017 2:45 pm

Light snow for the most part, smidge over an inch i'd say and 19.8°

by **aiannone** Sat Jan 07, 2017 2:45 pm

Looks like the back edge is trying to push through NJ yet i believe for eastern sections (east of NYC) we still have all that stuff down south to move up

There are at least 2 more groups being made over the course of the next few weeks. I will separate them out.

22* Good Moderate Snow Just measured a notch over 4" accumulating fast!!

by **aiannone** Sat Jan 07, 2017 2:48 pm

That awkward moment when the southern cities thought they were going to do better than the NE snow cities of I-95 and the busted on totals and the NE is getting smacked.... should've known snow likes the north better lol

by **mmanisca** Sat Jan 07, 2017 2:48 pm

4 inches here in Deer Park!!

by **billg315** Sat Jan 07, 2017 2:48 pm

Can only imagine how much snow will be covering my car when I get out of this arena. It's been dumping outside.

Yup pushing through NYC and up here too coming down hard.

by **Math23x7** Sat Jan 07, 2017 2:49 pm

The radar has shades of the Boxing Day blizzard with the big bands in eastern NJ. I just hope that here on the Queens/Nassau county border I don't miss out on the good stuff, though it does look very nice IMBY.

The trip back up I-295 will be even worse than the drive down. Ugh! Lol

Interesting there are still heavy bands forming over Delaware and moving north into interior SNJ/SEPA. Some projections had this ending in those areas by 2 or 3. Looks like it may hang in awhile.
