This may be 2 inches over hour

by **bloc1357** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:14 pm

Measured about 8" here...an average of course with all the blowing. Took about 4 or 5 measurements.

by **SoulSingMG** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:14 pm

oh wow. that band means BUSINESS.

Has anyone taken a look at the consistency of the snowflakes? It's very cool looking...the six sides you typically see in a drawing of a snowflake. Hopefully the below image works...the flakes that stuck to my jacket on the walk home this evening.

Yup, banding has been really pronounced. Has not weakened significantly yet. Even me, only in mod-heavy snow at times is at 6+ without the crazy rates.

Just a little over 8in

by **Radz** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:19 pm

12* and closing in on 1.5" here far NW corner of Westchester, not complaining and i'm loving all the reports and radars! great storm even if the bands don't quite reach me Smile

by **jmanley32** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:19 pm

Not ending here anytime soon from looks of the radar even at one inch per hour I am looking at a total of at least 12-14 inches, Upton has me very close to the 10-14 and they have not updated since 3:39pm and I dunno if it snows this hard till 1am.

by **cooladi** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:19 pm

Left office in Times Square around 2:45 pm (office finally stopped ignoring the obvious and closed early) made it to Penn Station a little after 3. What a zoo! Couldn't make it onto the train going to my station so took a train to what is a nearby station in normal weather, then walked 8 long blocks through at least 6 inches of snow dragging a wheelie to the car. Be careful out there, roads are very slippery. We skidded lots, got stuck once, and that's only a little over a one mile drive. Apple pie is baking in the oven now, definitely earned that after the workout I got from the wheelie walk. Please keep the snow coming so I don't have to drag back into NYC in the morning!

by **jmanley32** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:21 pm

As for temp looks like 14 according to my phone local station.

Thankfully not a lot of wind in my yard, pretty well protected on the downslope of a hill....

by **jmanley32** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:23 pm

from looks of radar band seems to be shrinking in intensity from east to west near fairfield county CT and toward westchester. will this be a trend?

by Ronniek Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:23 pm

by **SoulSingMG** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:24 pm

THAT BAND HAS GROWN. Jeff Smith just said 2-3 inch an hour rates moving into city soon.

by **Dtone** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:26 pm

Whoa it just went off the charts in the last 5 mins. Heavy snow here in Bx.
A heavy band moving into nyc from the north.....

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:27 pm

Should this be classified as a Godzilla?

by **SoulSingMG** Tue Jan 21, 2014 6:27 pm

It may need to be, Frank. I'll let you know after this band moves in haha
