You said it Al.

The definition of cold air damming (CAD)

3.5 inches of snow and 20 degrees as of 430 in Wappingers with snow sleet snow mix. Drove to northerm westchester and transition to all sleet. Looks like snow is mixing in here now.

yes scott that's why places like Scranton are in the mid 30's and Montauk and the rest of li in the low 20's. cold air cannot rise up over the mountains.

Radar shows heavy stuff over me but nothing's happening.

Huge flakes falling now

About 6 inches in hopewell jct still snowing .

after a brief burst of snow now its freezing rain and sleet 24 degrees. Have a coating of snow and sleet

27* I can hear sleet bouncing off things. Looks like a good coating of glaze but black top, watching fox doesn't look like much of an issue travel wise

yes looked out my window cars going full speed limit on the hutch. sleet now very light. if it keeps up at this pace may end up with a quarter inch of snow and sleet.lol I am just glad its not freezing rain!

All snow here at the moment

21 degrees and heavy sleet. A complete non-event after a week of hype. But no school!!!!!

Sleeting here in Livingston nj what time does this system shut down

Plus taking a chance wrecking your car. Your company isn't going to have deal with all the problems afterwards if something happens, you are.
Just not worth it.

Morning, SNOW. Yes, I would definitely play it safe like you. You don't want to be involved in an accident!

Maybe we got an inch here at best.

Check out my my post in the banter thread Doc.

All sleet down town

23° and all sleet so far

26.4 °F
Feels Like 26 °F
N2.0
Wind from ENE
Gusts 8.0 mph
Wind chill 16.

Roads are covered in ice......it almost looks like a dusting of snow on them but nope, it's ice.

Had a nice burst of heavy snow but now nothing. Hopefully radar fills in to my south and west here.NWS still saying 4 to 6 here.We've had around 2.6 so far including yesterday, so if this low offshore kicks in, it may still happen.

Was freezing rain but when precip gets heavier it turns to all sleet. Cars are icy but main roads mainly wet, side streets have some sleet accumulation.
Any one know what its like around White Plains and points north?

While this may not be a heavy accummulating snow event for most of us, which is disappointing for some, I would not call this a non-event. Sleet and freezing rain here. Salted roads may be passable if you drive carefully, but this stuff is dangerous. Pls. be careful everyone.

Got around an inch here total. I would be thrilled with 4-6 inches.

especially 6 lol

I hear you cooladi but in terms of weather....I'm off from school for some bizarre reason.  My wife just drove to work from the north shore to the south shore.  Her drive is usually 20 minutes.  Today it took her 21!!  I week of tracking and discussing a long duration storm that drops less than 3 inches of snow on most forum members and only has sporadically falling light precip. for under 8 hours so far is a non-event.  Our best ones so far have been the least discussed ones going in!!
