Someone on other board said sleet mixing in at JFK. I'm 10 miles due east of jfk and it's still snowing heavy. If this stays snow til 9pm, we have over 6 inches. I can't see that r/s line just sitting there. It always invades S.LI. It will be a first for me if it hit the breaks at franks white line.

wow, the line must be just south of me. I'm only a few miles north of you and we're still in heavy snow, no sleet here.

Frank what's interesting its was 26 at my house when I left and it's 24 degrees here in Queens under the heavy snow

by **mmanisca** Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:54 pm

2 inches here in Deer park and snowing moderatly. Interesting not only being a snow nut like the rest of you but I'm also a running nut! I was out running in the snow and I must say it was uncomfortable with it hitting my face. It felt almost like sleet but it wasn't. More like snow grains! Roads are snow covered and slick for running!
LOL!

Ripping here now with mod to heavy snow. That dbz band over CNJ is nuts.

by **oldtimer** Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:56 pm

Alex What are you seeing for us on north shore now that Rayno is saying NYC will stay all snow till 9pm?

by **skinsfan1177** Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:57 pm

Heavy heavy sleet it got here to early its already causing issues

by **Frank_Wx** Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:58 pm

I think Alex could be onto something with the ULL. Once that swings into the area and the secondary takes over, we may see the sleet line go south again. Cause this is way earlier than expected.

by **RJB8525** Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:59 pm

measured 1.5" here just now

by **Frank_Wx** Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:59 pm

I think sleet is now mixing into JFK

RJ let us know if or when sleet mixes in. CC is showing it on the south end of Staten Island now

Yupp, flow is SSW aloft and you can see that by the orientation of the advancing r/s line. Once the Secondary takes over the flow will be Northerly or NW and should suppress the r/s line. SFC is not an issue.

Look what is in northwest PA and moving due east

NICE !!!

by Guest Sun Mar 01, 2015 3:01 pm

My local high def radar shows rain/snow line just north of AC. Why so many reports of mixing so far north already. And that NWS special weather statement for 1" per hour is way off. It's ripping way harder than that. I say 1.5 to 2" per hour here, and look at what's coming in due east from NNJ!!

Radars will not pick it up. Use this radar.

Nice! Maybe another 1-2 hours then

by **algae888** Sun Mar 01, 2015 3:05 pm

just eyeballing it about an inch and a half here in Queens and snowing hard temperature rose to 26 in the last 10 minutes

by **Frank_Wx** Sun Mar 01, 2015 3:06 pm

Sleet line is now into Staten Island and southwest corner of LI

by **billg315** Sun Mar 01, 2015 3:06 pm

moderate to heavy snow and 24* here. No sign of mixing yet.

by Yschiff Sun Mar 01, 2015 3:06 pm

Dose this mean more ice because the rain/snow line is moving north faster?

by **aiannone** Sun Mar 01, 2015 3:06 pm

Tom Nizzel said heavy snow through 9-10pm in NYC
