I just spoke with my friend from Detroit, who was expecting to get 6-9 inches. He ended up getting only 3 and its been snowing there all day. A lot of dry air with this storm. Big bust potential tomorrow. Warning all of you now. NYC Metro may only get C-1 inch, 2 inches max, I think. Pretty crazy turn of events

It started here @ precisely 4:55am. By 5:30am there was just a dusting on the ground, yet the city plows came through twice already.

The road cams on 7 show a pretty decent looking coating on the highway. Would I be better off going in at noon? Or?

I'm I'm Wayne, going to Morristown.

Last night I said nothing from 1 inch to 8 inches would surprise me considering the model inconsistencies with this whole event, especially the flip flopping short range models of dry to wet to dry yesterday.

0 inches does surprise me though and looking at the current radar it looks like that's what this section of the HV will get, or won't get.

Tom was saying last evening .1 qpf on several models and Frank warned of a bust, so here we are it seems with a bust, at least up here. There's so much snow on the ground right now I'm not even disappointed, well maybe a little.

Curious how everyone else does, hopefully CPK can at least add an inch or two.

Current Radar, South Jersey getting a nice band...........

by **Radz** Tue Feb 18, 2014 6:25 am

Southern areas seeing the nice band, northern areas missing out…

Hopefully CP you can get in on the action with that second round over eastern PA. Looks like a secondary is trying to form off the coast near the Del Marva and the dreaded dry slot in between.

Started at 5 in brooklyn, already have an 1", I'm very suprised.

by **sroc4** Tue Feb 18, 2014 6:37 am

Ironic that S NJ is getting the heaviest bands right now.

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Tue Feb 18, 2014 6:38 am

CPK dropped 4 degrees in the last hour.

26 and moderate snow, with nothing going on here I'm rooting for a couple inches there.

I don't think the band in central Pennsylvania makes it here, the secondary will most likely suck most of the air out of that before it gets here IMO.

Of course I hope I'm wrong.

I was thinking the same thing. These clippers and the secondarys that form have minds of their own.

LI and CT may cash in a little as well, not holding any hope in that 2nd batch either...

Ace is probably doing pretty well right now. I bet if we took a bet at who would get the jackpot with this system QuietAce was not on many peoples lists..lol

Only a Heavy Coating here, maybee a inch on coldest surfaces. Those bands are not that heavy. Only have larger flakes.

by **Quietace** Tue Feb 18, 2014 7:01 am

And surface temps are just over freezing here so accumulations are limited.

by **Radz** Tue Feb 18, 2014 7:05 am

Philly diid well with 2-3" go figure

I would have had a couple inches by now. But nope, only a heavy coating and a full school day.

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Tue Feb 18, 2014 7:12 am

Light snow here.

by **sroc4** Tue Feb 18, 2014 7:21 am

Sroc I'm so hoping your map nails this one for me. I left home in western Nassau County at 5:15 AM to beat this mess into NYC. Started snowing in western Nassau County at 5:20 or so, by the time my bus made it to Queens at 6:00 there was a thorough dusting of snow on all surfaces. Arrived in Manhattan 6:45, everything coated here too. So tired of having to watch every step I take to make it around ice, and then there's the shoveling...
